Golf At The Summer Olympics
Golf was featured in the Summer Olympic Games official programme in 1900 and 1904. At the IOC session in Copenhagen in October 2009, the IOC decided to reinstate this event for the 2016 Summer Olympics. The event will feature professional golfers, many of whom have expressed interest in having golf brought back as an Olympic sport.

“If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out.”
