FOOOOOORE!!!

There are many different forms of golf..
1. Putt Putt golf
2. Professonial golf
3. Plastic golf

Surprisingly, golf has been around many many years:

The Early Romans played a game very similar like golf by hitting a feather-stuffed ball with club-shaped tree branches. Pictures in books also show the Dutch playing a similar type of game on their frozen canals during the 1500s. Cross-country versions of the game were also popular in France and Belgium

It is interesting to note that even though Scotland is the mother of the game, golf was banned there for a time. This ban was put in place during the middle part of the fifteenth century when Scotland was preparing to defend itself against an English invasion. History tells us that many people in Scotland became so obsessed with golf that they neglected the military training that would be required if the English were to be driven back, so the Scottish Parliament of James II quite literally banned the game. Although the ban was reintroduced in 1470 and 1491 its popularity continued to grow – the Scots simply ignored the ban.

Scotland is the home of the world’s oldest golf course, St. Andrews, which was used as early as the sixteenth century.

The Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews, the birth place of golf, was founded in 1754.
