    Is this true??? why are there 18 holes in golf?

    There are 18 holes in golf because there used to be 18oz in a bottle of whiskey and they said "when the bottle is done so should the round"

    any truth to this? I heard this from a few people and also heard it in that bobby jones movie.

    If it is true, wouldn't these guys be pissed drunk after 18 shots of whiskey... I'm sure I could beat dan if he had 18 drinks over one of our rounds...

    Hey check it out!
    There is this crazy new website called "google".
    It is amazing!
    All you need to do is type in some key words and bang you get some links to your answer.

    I tell you this interweb thingy is cool.
    Back at it.

    I doubt that. They based the "Frank the Tank" character in Old School after him.
    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    I could only guess to this one, i think there are 18 holes because thats about the average a player can do a day.
