I'm curious as to why single round scores of golf in the British open were routinely below 60 between 1860 and 1880s. By the mid 1880 the scores are more reflective of today's common single round scores where hardly any pro scores are under a 60. What changed so dramatically?

I'm trying to determine and compare the strength of field at the British Open in the '50s and '60s.
Can you provide info on the field fromt those decades or point me to a site where I can find it?
Thanks,
Jay

Hiya - my dad has been recording the British Open Championship scores since 1968. He sits with his wee book and records all the scores! I know it sounds a bit sad but he loves it! Do you happen to have the last 2 round scores (for everyone) for 1966 and 1967?? Your site told me who won these but he would like all the scores. He would be eternally grateful and so would I as he seems to think the internet should know everything!! Many thanks and best wishes, Audrey Montgomery
