kodaikanal

116 Years of Golfing at Kodaikanal. One misty day in June, twelve avid golfers, posing as hikers, stumbled out of a dense forest onto verdant rolling grassland, with gurgling streams and wooded hills. This, they thought, would be ideally suited for golf. Thus, in 1895, was born the Kodaikanal Golf Club. In those days there was no ghat road as such, and the only mode of transport was by "shanks pony" or the real one, for the mainly American and British missionary with the Indian Civil Servant, who formed the backbone of the club.
