The History of Golf

 

The game of golf as we know it started in Scotland. Shepherds who spent much of their time in the fields watching over their herds would pass the day by hitting small rocks along the terrain with sticks. Eventually a leather ball stuffed with feathers was hit into cans positioned at various spots on the ground. The first sand traps were places where animals burrowed into banks for protection from the strong winds. In time, their burrowing would wear away the grass, leaving sandy areas similar to the bunkers, or sand traps, found on today’s golf courses, King James II of Scotland banned golf in 1457 because people were spending too much time playing the game and not enough time working on their archery skills.

 

Golf did not move to other areas if the world until the late 1700s when the first organized club was founded in Southeast London. Golf coursed did not come to the United States until 1884, The Oakhurst Links Golf Club in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia was the first organized club in the U.S., but it is no longer in existence.

 

This popular leisure activity eventually turned into the game it is today, a game played by many people in various circles and venues. The game eventually developed into a structure consisting of 18 separate holes, each of which includes the teeing ground, the fairway, the rough, and the green. Golf is played for both leisure and competition. Some people choose golf for their occupation and compete on a professional golf tour. Today millions of people participate in the game of golf on thousands of golf courses in all parts of the world!
