Date: September 15th, 2025 4:45 PM Author: Ass Sunstein Golf goes back further. The first international golf (and soccer) matches were between England and Scotland and they just kept doing it that way while adding more countries.
International tennis came later. |

Date: September 15th, 2025 4:47 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., but even for individual events when they're technically not "playing for" a country, why are they still listed by country not all under the UK? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775440&forum_id=2"#49272399) |
|
Date: September 15th, 2025 4:48 PM Author: Ass Sunstein Because they started it that way and have different golf federations for England and Scotland. Tennis has one federation for the UK. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775440&forum_id=2"#49272402) |

Date: September 15th, 2025 4:50 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., are there welsh and NIR golf federations? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775440&forum_id=2"#49272418) |

Date: September 16th, 2025 9:26 AM Author: Ass Sunstein Looked it up because I was curious. Wales seems to have its own.
The golf federation for Ireland includes Northern Ireland as well which is odd but makes sense given Ireland used to be part of the UK and maybe they didn't want to split up the golf federation when they left or something. |

Date: September 16th, 2025 9:28 AM Author: fulano i never knew this. explains why wales plays in the world cup though the country would be wise to unify and stand a chance for once (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775440&forum_id=2"#49274362) |

Date: September 16th, 2025 9:39 AM Author: Ass Sunstein Wouldn't make much difference. Wales and Scotland and NI are tiny compared to England and none of their players would even get into the England team with a few exceptions over the years like Gareth Bale and Ryan Giggs.

Date: September 16th, 2025 9:36 AM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., those are team sports. can anyone name individual sports where uk athletes dont play under the union jack besides golf? sports like boxing, swimming, track, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5775440&forum_id=2"#49274383) |
