The History of Golf

If you are reading this, the chances are that you are probably involved in the beautiful game, one way or another. But do you really know where it all started? Nobody is really certain when and where the game of golf originally started. According to some historians, traces of golf-like games using a bent stick as well leather balls stuffed with feathers, were played in Rome in the first century B.C. This theory however has little evidence surrounding it.

The most accepted and widely believed notion about the origins of golf game lead to Scotland, where, during the 12th century, shepherds use to knock stones into rabbit holes found in an area known as St. Andrews. This area is still known and maintained as the first golf site by Royal and Ancient Golf Club.
