Golf In The Olympics
Golf's Olympic History
With the 2012 London Games upon us, and with golf set to return at Rio in 2016, we take a look back at the sport's sometimes dubious history at the Olympics

Sands also took part in the tennis competition that year and returned to the 1908 Olympics in London as a participant in the jeu de paume (court tennis, the precursor to modern tennis) tournament, where he did not place for a medal.
