Golf Summer Games Block 11

Golf Paper Pieced Block for Summer Games Quilt

Block #11 is Golf.

I have never figured out the swing in golf and have had lots of "air" shots.  I am must more inclined to enjoy a game of mini-golf.  Even though I usually end up in last place at our annual family game. 

​Golf was first played at the Olympic Games in Paris in 1900, only to be removed after 1904 – it returns in 2016 after more than a century's absence.
