The History of Golf

Historians think that the game of golf started on the Eastern Coast of Scotland. It was the 15th century, and at that time they were using sticks and pebbles. This sport was a hobby for the adults after they got home from work. The thing that made the game really unique back then was the fact that the people didn't use a hole. They would tell the other golfers a certain area they had to put the ball in. In the 16th century, golf got popular in France and England. In France, caddies were invented, but in French, they were called cadets. The first golf course was in Edinburg. After that happened, the first golf match was in 1682. In the match, two Scottish men beat two English men. Ever since then, we have definently advanced in the sport. I'm sure they didn't have Titanium Drivers or Golf Carts back then. That is how the game of golf came to be.
