Golf is an interesting type of sport in which the players hit the ball using a small stick and attempts to put the ball into a hole in the golf course in least number of strokes. The most widely accepted theory of golf history is that golf was originated in Scotland during the 12th century. At that time, shepherds used to knock stones into the holes of rabbits. It is believed that St. Andrews, popular ancient and royal Golf Club sits in that place. Something similar to golf was noted during the ancient Pharaohs in Egypt. Ling Hongling, a Chinese professor claims that Mongols brought the game into Europe during the 12-13 centuries. There are also games similar to golf in Netherlands. A leather ball was used for this. However, the golf’s origin remains still as a mystery. But there is no contradiction in its development. The game developed and gained popularity in Scotland.
