there are several claims for the earliest golf played in australia. to date there is only one claim with contemporaneous evidence. this primary source evidence comes from ten entries in 1839 in the diary of alexander brodie spark. these show that golf was played in 1839 at grose farm, which is now part of urban sydney. spark and his friends instituted the new south wales golf club on 1 june 1839, but the club and the golf at grose farm had very short lives and there is no direct connection to the current nsw golf club. spark was a wealthy merchant, a well connected and well respected member of colonial society, and can be considered as a reliable witness. golf at grose farm was strongly influenced by royal blackheath golf club in england.
