What nation invented golf? Several nations did. If there were sticks and objects that could be hurtled along, then there was golf. No a single knows for specific who started golf. But everyone knows who plays it now everybody does.

The origin of the name golf is believed to be the Dutch word of 'colf,' which indicates 'club.' In the medieval ages, golf was also identified as spel metten colve, which literally meant 'game with clubs.'

Nearly every single region around the planet has some claim to the origination of golf. Scotland, of course, has its claim. But so do China, Rome, England, France, Holland, Belgium, even Laos. Every single country has a game consisting of sticks and balls, and every single nation is appropriate in its assumption that it invented the game. But there is no one particular country where golf really started.

Still, Scotland is broadly regarded as to be birthplace of golf. And it began haphazardly, a way of hitting a pebble or other roundish object into a hole by implies of a stick or club.

Edinburgh, Scotland, claimed the 1st golfing society. The Gentlemen Golfers later identified as the Honourable Firm of Edinburgh Golfers and today in residence at Muirfield  claim their club was currently beneath way in 1744.

The 1st inter-Scotland club matches were played in 1857. The planet would wait until 1860 for the very first British Open to be played.

The British Open was being played 35 years prior to the U.S. Open. It has been referred to as The Planet Open. Players from around the globe participate, as they have for a century or more. The British Open is all-inclusive. The U.S. Open has been moving in that direction for the final decade. But the British Open has been accepting a cast from around the globe considering that the turn of the century.

It is not recognized for specific when golf came to America only that when it got a toehold in the 20th century, America became the world leader in wonderful players. By 1900, the explosion of the game in America was full. Proof was that, at the turn of the century, there were far more golf clubs in the United States than there were in Britain.

Tiger Woods came upon the scene in 1996. He won eight instances in 1999, nine occasions in 2000, and won the four key championships in succession in 2000-2001, beginning with the U.S. Open in 2000. Should his profession be as successful in his 30s and 40s as it has been in his 20s, he will assume the mantle of best player ever.

Women have played a extremely big component in the history of golf, even ahead of the last half of the 20th century when they ultimately accomplished equality with males. Records of ladies playing golf exist all the way back to the time of Mary Queen of Scots.
