This year, 2014, The Golf Club of Reykjav\u00edk celebrates its 80th birthday – since the Golf Club, the first in Iceland, was founded December 14th 1934.<\/p>\n
Its first name was the Golf Club of Iceland, but it changed its name the following year when more Golf Clubs were founded, in 1935 the Golf Club of Akureyri in the North of Iceland.<\/p>\n
It\u00b4s fun to see footage of how much the times have changed.<\/p>\n
Here is an old video of Reykjav\u00edk in 1926. \u00a0It\u00b4s hard to imagine, in the abundance of golf courses we have today in Iceland, 65 the most per capita in the world, \u00a0that there were no golf courses here in 1926.<\/p>\n
