According to Golfers Paradise, the earliest iterations of the sport can be traced back to ancient times, with the Romans, Chinese, and Dutch all playing similar ball-and-stick games. It wasn’t until these ball-and-stick games made their way to Scotland, however, that golf, as it is known today, started to take shape and evolve.
It was during this time–from the 15th century to the 18th century–when the rules, equipment, and etiquette were established. Golfers would play using balls made of leather and feathers and clubs made of wood with iron heads. Courses like St. Andrews–the oldest known golf course in the world–also started to spring up as the sport grew in popularity.
Eventually, as the article recounts, the game spread to other parts of the world, with the first course outside of Scotland being founded in 1766 in England. Not long after this, golf clubs were being established in Ireland, Wales, and the United States, too.
Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, golf experienced its most advancement; rules were honed, technology was constantly being improved, and golfers started to concentrate more on their performance. It was also around this time that professional leagues and competitions started to emerge.
“As we trace the roots of golf’s birthplace, we gain a deeper appreciation for the legends and pioneers who shaped the game, the famous courses that have become part of golfing lore, and the advancements in technology that have propelled the sport forward,” said a spokesperson for the website. “Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or a curious observer, the journey through golf’s history is sure to ignite a passion for the sport and a desire to experience its magic first-hand.”
