At Montrose, Scotland in 1886 at the age of 20 Alexander H. FIndlay shot the first 72 on record in competition. This was accomplished with an amazing 19 putts on 18 greens. The score of 72 became the standard for 18 holes of golf since that date and heralded young Alex into the elite company of golf. A picture of the original scorecard and announcement in the newspaper will folow on this site.
