Golf is a sport that gained a firm footing in Poland only after 1989 but first golf courses in the present Polish territories appeared probably already at the beginning of the 20th c. The first golf club in Warsaw was founded in the inter-war period. It was also at that time that the press started to publish articles on the discipline and on the way of dressing that became its fans. Polish newspapers often showed photos of the Prince of Wales, the future King of England Edward VIII, who was the icon of golf fashion in that epoch. The first Polish publication on the rules of the game was also issued at that time.
