This information was extracted from the El Universal newspaper dated 5 April 1926 and it is the only physical evidence of the institution of the Mexico Golf Association. No other document has been found to date. Clubs involved in the formation of the Mexico Golf Association: Chapultepec Heights, Guadalajara, Pachuca, Tampico, Monterey and Mexico Country Clubs. Mexico Golf Association immediately began conducting Championships such as the First Annual Golf Tournament along with Men and Women National Amateur Championships. This activity gave the guidelines to initiate the translation to Spanish of the Rules of Golf. In the 1930s with the arrival of President Lazaro Cardenas the construction of new golf courses decreased along with a significant reduction in foreign colonies who were by far the most dedicated promoters of the sport. Later, the first Mexico Open Championship was conducted in Two years after, on August 29th 1946, the Mexico Golf Association was legally established as a civil association and was officially named Mexican Golf Association. On August 8th 1975, in the City of Mazatlan, affiliated clubs met and agreed to sign new bylaws on the best interest of the Organization. This bylaws gave birth on December 1976 the what we now know as the Mexican Golf Federation. Nowadays the Mexican Golf Federation has a membership of 123 clubs with more than 20,000 registered handicaps and growing. 7 World Amateur team Team Championships Mexico 2016
