INTRODUCTION

At the end of the 19^th Century the Scot Henry Smith arrived in Buenos Aires Port carrying wooden clubs with a metal head at the lower end. Customs officers suspected they were weapons and wanted to take them away. After a long explanation he was let in with the clubs and golf was free to be born in Argentina. It is a very popular sport today amongst foreign tourists today and the National Tourism Secretariat has special plans for visitors who wish to play during their stay. There are golf courses all over the country thus offering potential players many different alternatives and styles.
