Teaching history as a coaching tool

I’ve been piloting a 60-minute module that uses Old Tom Morris’s setups and the 1902 Haskell ball shift to show how equipment and architecture reshaped shot selection and pace of play. Are any of you building CE credits around archival case studies — say, St Andrews in 1873 or the 1920s municipal boom — and if so, which primary sources or museum partnerships have moved the needle with your staff?

And i built a 60‑minute CE around the 1920s “municipal boom” by pairing our 1923 Sanborn fire-insurance plates with maintenance memos and finishing with a 5‑question quiz; Library of Congress’ Sanborn collection (Sanborn Maps | The Library of Congress) was free and quick on permissions. The maps made shot-selection shifts obvious — tightened corridors, added bunkers, altered walking lines — so pros could connect architecture to pace. Small caveat: some scans are low‑res, so request higher files early or prep zoomable crops.
