Tennis, golf and the Ashes

Study note

The Wimbledon Championships take place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and are the only Grand Slam event played on grass. Modern golf can be traced back to 15th century Scotland, and the Open Championship is the only golf Major held outside the United States. The Ashes is the famous cricket series between England and Australia.

Memory tip: Wimbledon: only grass Grand Slam; golf from 15th century Scotland; the Ashes (England v Australia).
