The-European-Tour

The invention of “golf” is not quite clear, some say it started in the 1500’s in Scotland and some say the Netherlands in the 1400’s. But what is clear is that since the 19th century, Golf has rapidly grown in popularity.

So the growth of this massively popular game led to various matches but the current European Tour, which is now in its 47th season having started in 1972, is the highlight of the golf calendar.

This year marks the 2018 edition of the European Tour, and the Tour has already begun on the 26th of November 2017.

So far three tournaments have been played but there is still a long and exciting year of great golf ahead.

So before you continue playing your online real money pokies or Netflix all 10 seasons of your favourite soapie, check out the European tour dates and put them in your schedule.
