Where did golf start?
It was way back in 1297 that the game of golf was first recorded. It was quite surprising to hear that it was in the Netherlands. The game was played with a crude stick plus a leather ball. Whoever hit the ball the furthest and in the least number of times was the winner.
The modern game of golf is however thought to have originated in Scotland. The word golf may have been derived from the Dutch word “kolf” meaning stick or club. The first 18 hole golf course was in Scotland. Also the original written rules were said to have come from the Scots.
It wasn’t much longer before the game had spread to England. The oldest playing golf course in the world is the Old Links at Musselburgh in East Lothian. It was reputed that Mary Queen of Scots played there back in 1567.
Golf courses have not always been made up of 18 holes. Early golfers at St Andrews were said to have made a trench through the rough land playing just eleven holes which were laid out end to end from the clubhouse to the far end of the property. Once reaching the end they would turn round and play their way back therefore making a total of 22 holes. It was decided that some of the holes were too short so they became integrated and finished up as 18 holes as we know it today.
Golfing equipment has developed greatly in recent times. It was in the 1930’s that the US Golf Association advocated a standard weight and size for golf balls. It was stated that the velocity of the golf ball should not exceed 250 feet per second and since then it has continued to develop and make an impact on the way the game is played.
Another major factor is of course the evolution of the golf club. The early ones were made of wood. Hickory became the standard wood used for the shafts and Persimmon was the choice of wood for the club head because of its hardness and strength.As the golf ball developed and became a lot more durable it was then that the iron headed clubs were introduced to the game. It was in the 1890’s steel shafts were developed .
In the early 1970’s shaft technology was introduced to the use of graphite shafts with lightweight titanium heads meaning that the head could be made much larger.
The equipment has been developed massively with the help of modern day technology and now we have more golf equipment than you would have imagined possible. Our forbears were not lucky enough to have such things as golf trolleys and golf buggies to transport them round the course. However one thing that probably has stood the test of time is the drink at the 19th hole at the end of a round of golf!
