The Royal & Ancient Golf Club was founded in 1754. The club set a number of standards for the game, including the 18 hole round. Since the 1700's, St. Andrews has been considered the ancestral home of the game.

I have heard that the 18 holes in Golf came from there being 18 shots in a fifth.

What happends when two people win in golf?

When two or more people end up tied for the lead in a professional golf tournament, there is what as known as a playoff. The playoff is usually a sudden death one hole playoff, with the winner being the person who has the lowest score on that particular hole, if the scores are tied the process continues until the tie is broken. In the men's major championships there are different ways of breaking ties. In The Masters it is a sudden death playoff, in The US Open it is an 18 hole Monday playoff, in The Open it is a four hole playoff and the USPGA Championship is a 3 hole playoff. In Amateur golf, say at your club at the weekend, ties are usually broken with the best nett score on the back 9, then best back 6,3,2 or 1 depending on how close it is.
