Golf Basics Encyclopedia Basic Tips FAQ ... Link Us Golf History Everyone knows golf originated in Scotland, right? Well ... yes and no. It's definitely true that golf as we know it emerged in Scotland. The Scots were playing golf in its very basic form - take a club, swing it at a ball, move ball from starting point to finishing hole in as few strokes as possible - by at least the mid-15th Century. Interesting enough, the earliest known reference to golf comes from King James II of Scotland, who, in 1457, issued a ban on the playing of golf and football (errr... soccer). Those games, King James complained, were keeping his archers from their practice. After that, James III in 1471 and James IV in 1491 each re-issued the ban on golf. But the game continued to develop in Scotland over the decades and centuries, until 1744 when the first known rules of golf were written in Edinburgh. Golf as it was then played would be easily recognized by any modern golfer. So can it be said that the Scots "invented" golf? Not quite, because there's strong evidence that the Scots were influenced themselves by even earlier versions of games of similar nature. USGA Museum about the issue: "While many Scots firmly maintain that golf evolved from a family of stick-and-ball games widely practiced throughout the British Isles during the Middle Ages, considerable evidence suggests that the game derived from stick-and-ball games that were played in France, Germany and the Low Countries."

COLLEGE SPORTS SAFE SEARCH The origins of and information about golf 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 1500's. Cross-country versions of the game were also popular in France and Belgium. It is interesting to note that even though Scotland is the father and mother of the game of golf, it was also banned there for a time. this ban was 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 previous youngest Tour winner was New Zealand's Danny Lee, who was 18 when he triumphed at the Johnnie Walker Classic in Perth in February 2009. Manassero, aged just 17 years and 188 days, started the final round two shots behind leader Gary Boyd but a red-hot homeward nine and a collapse by the Briton set up victory for the teenager. He closed with a 4-under 67 for a 16-under total of 268 to win comfortably from Spain's Ignacio Garrido (68) whose late spurt earned second place. "It feels fantastic, I've always worked for this moment and I've finally done it," Manassero told Sky Sports.

Timeline Of Golf History, 1353 - 2003 The first recorded reference to chole, the probable antecedent of golf. It is a derivative of hockey played in Flanders (Belgium). A Scottish regiment aiding the French against the English at the Siege of Bauge is introduced to the game of chole. Hugh Kennedy, Robert Stewart and John Smale, three of the identified players, are credited with introducing the game in Scotland. Golf, along with football, is banned by the Scots Parliament of James II because it has interfered with military training for the wars against the English. The ban on golf is reaffirmed by the Parliament of James III. The golf ban is affirmed again by Parliament, this time under King James IV. With the signing of the Treaty of Glasgow between England and Scotland, the ban on golf is lifted. James IV makes the first recorded purchase of golf equipment, a set of clubs from a bow-maker in Perth, Scotland. Queen Catherine of England, in a letter to Cardinal Wolsey, refers to the growing popularity of golf in England. The first commoner recorded as a golfer is Sir Robert Maule, described as playing on Barry Links (near the modern-day Carnoustie).

32. History Of Golf - Scottish Perspective The history of golf is traced from its origins in Scotland to its development into the modern game of golf. http://www.golfing-scotland.com/history.asp

The following gives an overview of the historical development of the game of golf over the centuries to today. PRE 1400 THE ORIGINS OF THE GAME An insight into golf as it was in the distant past. THE ROBERTSONS OF ST ANDREWS The Robertson family, ball-makers and masters of the game. THE MORRIS AND PARK ERA As the game evolves to its present form, two families dominate. THE GREAT TRIUMVIRATE Vardon, Taylor and Braid dominate the game of golf. BETWEEN THE GREAT WARS The game and its greatest players invade the US. THE EMERGENCE OF THE WORLD GAME Golf spreads around the world and unearths new legends. 1961 - Today THE TRULY GLOBAL GAME OF GOLF Palmer, Player, Nicklaus, Watson, Faldo and Woods. PRE 1400: THE ORIGINS OF THE GAME Throughout recorded history, every civilisation has played a game with a club and a ball. Pangea for example, as described by Roman scribes, would appear to be the father both of modern hockey and the Celtic games of Shinty and Hurling. In one form or another, the variant games of present day golf were clearly enjoyed throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. The game persisted over the centuries and the form that it took and rules that were applied varied as widely as the terrain the game was played over. In short, the game consisted of knocking a ball from one pre-designated place to another where the ball was to be struck off a predetermined object in the least number of blows. Games often extended from village to village.

Golf History Golf History Golf History Golf is a very ancient sport that has been around more than 900 years. Its exact country of origin is unknown but the most commonly accepted theory is that it came from Scotland in the 1100's. A game somewhat similar to golf was recorded by the Chinese in the 11th century. Also, a game where players hit a leather ball with a stick was recorded in the Netherlands in the year 1297. Modern golf is believed to be an entirely Scottish tradition. This is because the rules for a game called golf were mentioned in the 15th century. A game of putting a small ball into holes in the ground was played in the Netherlands in the 17th century. The oldest playing golf course in the world is The Musselburgh Old Links Golf Course. Evidence shows that golf was played here as early as 1672. Golf courses as we know in modern times have not always been 18 holes. In fact, one of the most esteemed golf courses, St. Andrews in Fife was originally 22 holes. However, some of the holes were found much too short for actual play and were cut out of the course. This made the number of holes 18 which every game of golf is judged by today.

Golf became firmly established in Great Britain by the 17th century when James VI of Scotland, later James I of England, was attracted to the sport. In 1860 the first British Open was played at Prestwick, Scotland. The competition was opened to both professionals and amateurs the following year. The first permanent golf club in North America, Canada`s Royal Montreal Club, was founded in 1873. St. Andrews, one of the oldest golf clubs in the United States, was established as a 3-hole layout in 1888 at Yonkers, New York. During the next few years numerous 6, 8, 9, and 12-hole courses were opened in the East. The first 18-hole course in the United States, the Chicago Golf Club, was founded near Wheaton, Illinois in 1893.
