About the game

Golf orignated in Scotland in the 1400's. It is a simple game of hitting a ball with a stick into a slightly larger hole. But as we all know, golf isn't as easy as it sounds. Even queen Elizabeth herself played this ball and stick game in the 1400's. Golf becamed so popular in Scotland that in fact it was outlawed, because it was interfering with the country's main defense against enemy's Archery. But the decree didn't stick; it continued to  grow and grow throughout Scotland. Later on about 450 years later only a had full of americans had heard of the game or played it. One day in a cow pasture a crude 3 hole course was made. A couple of richer men played this little course. That was the first round of golf in america. Golf continues to become more popular around the world today. Its also growing in popularity with juniors and senior players.
