Golf history at Stage 3 is about argument, not just knowledge. Students investigate the sport’s most contested chapters — racial integration, television’s commercial transformation, course architecture philosophy, global expansion, and women’s golf history — using primary sources, structured debate, and independent research.
Every week builds toward the Stage 3 Research Symposium: a ten-minute original argument presented to a real audience and defended under questioning. Students who complete this course leave with the analytical tools for university-level historical thinking.
