Golf
is a sport in which individual players
or teams hit a ball into a hole using
various clubs, and also is one of
the few ball games that does not use
a fixed standard playing area. It
is defined in the Rules
of Golf as "playing a ball
with a club from the teeing ground
into the hole by a stroke or successive
strokes in accordance with the Rules."
Golf
is most often said to have originated
in Scotland, and has been played for
at least five centuries in the British
Isles. The oldest course in the world
is The Old Links at Musselburgh. Golf,
in essentially the form we know today,
has been played on Scotland's Musselburgh
Links since 1672, while earlier versions
of the game had been played in the
British Isles and the low-countries
of Northern Europe for several centuries
before that. Although often viewed
as an upper class pastime, golf is
an increasingly popular sport across
all sections of society. |
