Golf has been around for a long time, starting way back in Scotland in 1477. People used to play on natural landscapes with handmade wooden clubs and leather balls. It was a game enjoyed by the Scottish nobility, but it quickly caught on and spread like wildfire across the country and beyond. The game continued to change in Scotland, and by the 18th century, golf clubs were established. The first golf course was the Golf Club of St Andrews which played a significant role in shaping the rules and regulations of the game. It became a central hub for golf enthusiasts, and they even developed the first standardized set of rules in 1754.
In the 18th century, golf clubs were established, and they started making rules for the game and building proper golf courses. The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews in Scotland played a major role in setting up the rules and regulations that we still follow today. Golf made its way to the United States in the 19th century, and the first golf club was established in 1888. From there, golf courses popped up, professional golf associations formed, and the game just kept growing.
And now, in the 21st century, golf is a global sensation. We've had incredible golfers like Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods who have made their mark on the sport. Tournaments like the Masters and the Open Championship have become legendary events that bring together the best golfers from around the world. It's truly amazing to see how golf has evolved and become a beloved sport enjoyed by millions.

I have never been in a sport but I have been to a gold course to golf for fun. I think it can be fun if you are holding with someone on the same level as you are so you are not golfing at such a different pace. I have only golfed myself at the Avoca course and the North course.
