American golf fans

[Luis Anaconda]

The Jockanese invented Golf, you can't disown them one second and then claim them as yours next.

Football I will give you though I do believe the Chinese are now trying to claim it as theirs.

As Dara Ó Briain points out in his excellent book on the English (Tickling the English) we didn't really invent sports merely unified certain ones under a set of Laws - games similar to rugby, football etc existed all over the world
