Lesson 1: Looking Back What Have We Learned
You have traveled 600 years of golf history in just five weeks. You started with a windy beach in Scotland and a stick hitting a stone. You ended with Tiger Woods changing the world of sport.
Along the way you met the kings who tried to ban golf, the queen who gave us the word ‘caddie’, the Edinburgh golfers who wrote the first rules, the Scottish immigrants who brought the game to America, and the legends who made it unforgettable.
History is not just facts and dates. It is a collection of stories about people — why they did what they did, what they cared about, and how their choices shaped the world we live in. Every time you step onto a golf course, you are walking into 600 years of that story.
Now it is time to look back at everything you have collected and create something to show what you have learned.
Golf history is a collection of stories about people — their passion for the game, their courage, their creativity, and their love of competition.
Open your history journal and read back through every entry from the past five weeks. Choose your three favorite moments or facts — the things that surprised you most, moved you most, or made you most curious. Write them down with a sentence explaining why each one was your favorite. These three are your personal golf history highlights.
Parent-Teacher Note
The review activity is a metacognitive exercise — thinking about what you learned and what you valued. The explanation of ‘why’ is more important than the fact itself. A child who can articulate why something struck them has genuinely processed the learning.
