A sport enjoyed by over five million
Canadians, golf has attracted a widespread interest across the country.
Golf is an ancient game, and has a long history in Canada. Over the
past hundred years, the perception of golf has shifted from being a
sport of the rich and famous to being a sport that anyone - men,
women, young and old - can play and enjoy, a game for all.
The focus of this virtual exhibition is on the equipment of golf,
outlining the history of the game in Canada, and highlighting the
Canadian component of the golf industry; objects from the Canadian
Museum of Civilization collections are used to illustrate this
story.
