Christchurch golf history

Golf has been played in Christchurch since the the early 1900s. According to the NZ Golf Association?s timeline, the sport grew quickly in the South Island ahead of the first New Zealand Open in 1907. Christchurch Golf Club, in Shirley, had an Easter Tournament in 1908. As the attire in this photograph shows, golfing was a formal affair.
