| Golf II Olympic Games 1900 Paris, France - Tuesday, 2nd October - Wednesday, 3rd October |
|---|
| In the preparation for the 1900 Games, a Special Advisory Committee led by Jacques de Pourtalès (a cousin of Hermann de Pourtalès, who along with his wife Hélène de Pourtalès won a gold medal in sailing in 1900 proposed a golf tournament be included given that the sport was popular in many countries (though not well known in France). The result was the first Olympic golf tournament, held at the Compiègne golf club. Divisions for both men and women, as well as a men handicap division (not considered Olympic) were set.[6][1]Golf would be held again in 1904, though it was limited to men events that year. In 1908 (which would have again been a men-only event), a dispute among the host nation's golfers resulted in all the British competitors boycotting and the event being cancelled. The sport would not be held again at the Olympics until 2016, when women individual golf was played again. |
