But there is one reference even earlier in the game of golf and is supposed to have happened in 1452, when King James II banned the game because he kept his subjects from their practice of archery.

The origin of golf is open to debate in Chinese, English or Scottish. The most accepted golf history theory is, however, that the sport’s native Scotland in 1100. A game similar to golf was first mentioned in documents restoration (Chinese:?), a Chinese book of the 11th century. However, modern Golf is considered to be a Scottish invention, such as the game was in two 15th century laws prohibiting the reading of the game of gowf. Some researchers have suggested that it is another game that is most evident in modern cricket, hurling or field hockey golf.

I have worked for the Action Group of Companies in the past and must say that it was the greatest experience of my life. I am proud to have been a member of the Action Team. They ensure that they have the proper staffing in place, guaranteeing a pleasant shopping experience. They care about the happiness of their staff, and a happy staff usually means great service to the customer! Their vision is unmatched in the industry.

Continue the terrific work!

When we were recently travelling in the Ottawa area (in mid-September 2007), we had a mishap which required the purchase and installation of a new truck cap for our 2002 Ford Ranger. We’d just like to commend the staff at Van & Truck World in Ottawa for their prompt and helpful service. They accommodated us (and our dog!) by getting the work done quickly and efficiently. Please say thank you to the staff in Ottawa for us!

Excellent service, stands behind their products and installation.

To Whom It May Concern.

I am writing this in order to give recognition to your staff at the Ottawa location.

During the past few weeks, I have frequented your store in Ottawa looking for advice on some work I was considering for my Jeep. During that time, I found the staff to be extremely patient, friendly and knowledgeable! At more than one occasion, I even found that the staff members remembered my name…which is extremely rare these days. Although the dollar amount of my modification was not extreme, I was treated; much to my surprise with the greatest of respect.

I hope you will pass this letter of recognition and give kudos to Eric, Serge (I hope I spelled them right) and most notably Kirk West who exhibited infinite patience with me during my moments of indecision and took the time to alleviate my concerns. Kirk’s patience is only overshadowed by his skill as he installed my lift very professionally and in excellent time; even allowing me to modify the requirements part way through the install.

In no small thanks to these people, I will definitely be returning to Van and Truck world for any other work and/or parts I require for my vehicles. Great job guys!

Best Regards,

Julian Katsarov

What a great team in Dartmouth. Keep up the great work. Highly recommend these guys.

Dated back from 1969, the TAG Heuer brand is a dominating presence in every motor-racing discipline, from the 24 Hours of Le Mans to the Indianapolis 500 to this year’s season-capping Race of Champions. Nowhere, however, is its preeminence more apparent – and more richly awarded ­– than in the high-octane world of Replica TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch One Grand Prix.

Auto racing — Formula One in particular — and watches are not strangers to each other. TAG Heuer has long capitalized on its partnership with motor sports — the Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton is one of TAG’s ambassadors — but its defining moment may have been when McQueen waved to the crowd at the endurance race in France, his Monaco timepiece in plain view.

As the pilot of a Porsche 917 in the film, part of which was shot during the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, McQueen strove for authenticity, and among the drivers he studied for his role was Jo Siffert, a Swiss driver. Siffert was paid to wear Heuer watches, so McQueen adopted one as well. “The Monaco’s starring role on the actor’s wrist helped create its legend,” Mr. Heuer said, “but it was the chronograph’s radical look and its complete break with tradition that made it stand out.”

TAG Heuer’s current dream team of F1 ambassadors are Scuderia Ferrari F1 driver and 2007 F1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 driver Heikki Kovalainen and, at the head of the pack, Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 F1 World Champion. Worthy bearers of the TAG Heuer mantle, they relentlessly pursue perfection, both on the track and in the award-winning R&D labs of TAG Heuer.

Lewis Hamilton’s watch this season is directly inspired by the superlative Monte Carlo dashboard chronograph produced by Heuer in the 1960s. The sporty and casual watches is equipped with the six legendary TAG Heuer features — “Easy Grip” screw-in crown; scratch-resistant titanium carbide-coated unidirectional turning steel bezel with raised fine-brushed figures; water-resistance to 200 meters; luminescent index and hands; scratch-resistant sapphire crystal; bracelet with double safety clasp and extension — in an oversized case (44mm). On the dial: handy “Grande Date” window and small second at 6 o’clock. Two elegant versions are available: black dial with superluminova white indexes and numbers or full superluminova white dial with black indexes and numerals. Built for speed and style, this race-inspired beauty is a champion.

In CHRONO mode, the exclusive movement’s micromotors show simple, intermediate and split times; in Hour mode, the retrograde date display features a perpetual calendar good till 2099. The elegant design — 44mm case, black titanium-carbide coated unidirectional turning bezel, crown and pushbuttons, black dial with luminescent numbers and markers, black rubber strap or steel bracelet ­— is backed up with high-grade TAG Heuer engineering and functionality. Individually tested for water resistance to a depth rating of 200 meters, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Calibre S 1/100th Chronograph is a rugged and versatile competitor.
