It is still debated until the present day as to who set the rules that the game of golf must be played 18 holes.

There are 2 main theories that foreigners are interested in and are often brought up to inform those who are curious.

Theory 1 (First Theory): THE Old Course

-The story goes back to the era that gave birth to the game of golf in those days. It originated in Scotland in the 15th century, with the oldest golf course in the world being the Old Course at St Andrews in 1764. The course initially had 12 holes, which once the 12 holes are played, Golfers would play an additional 10 holes from the 12 holes, playing 12 holes forward and 10 holes back, making 22 holes. Later, golfers would combine the 4 holes into 2 holes, which is a significant change. The beginning of 18 holes of golf

Theory 2 (Second Theory): The Legend Of The Irish Whiskey Bottle

-As Irish legend says, imagine an old Irish-style tavern that has been repaired. This shop is called The 19th Hole and is a meeting place for golfers in the area. They often come to eat and drink whiskey after enjoying a game of golf. The legend continued: When they go out to play golf, they often bring a bottle of whiskey along with a glass. They place bets and drink with the group while playing sports. At one point they discovered that the whiskey bottle was empty. It was at the same time that it ended on the 18th shot glass. That's why they created a new rule for the game of golf, requiring 18 holes, so that they could answer their wife's question: What time do you go to play golf? Oh, I'll just go back and finish the bottle! [This is the author joking :)] However, this story is still just an urban legend that has been passed down from generation to generation.
