The
History of Golf
|
|
It
was in the Roman Empire they first played
a simple game called paganica. Players
used a bent stick to drive a malleable,
feather-stuffed ball. It took another five
centuries for the game to develop on the
other continents. Golf, the Scottish
version, the version that eventually
developed into the game played today is
most likely a direct descendant of the
game originally played in Rome. However,
there is very little in the way of factual
information to support this idea. There
were many similar games in Europe; in
France one could play jeu de mail, in
England it was cambuca, and het kolven in
the Netherlands. It is reported that as
early as 1657 a form of the game of golf
made it to the American
colonies.
Played
as a relaxing recreational sport or as a
high stakes competitive game, golf, as
played in Scotland, is one of the fastest
growing and most popular sports in the
world. The premise is simple, players use
a diverse array of clubs to drive a small,
hard ball over a prescribed course, onto a
green and into one in a series of 18
holes, (in some cases only 9). The goal is
to successfully get the ball into 18
different holes while negotiating
specifically designed terrain all the
while attempting to avoid a series of
obstacles; trees, water and sand traps, in
as few strokes as possible. Current
records indicate more then twenty-two
million people play golf in the United
States, with almost half being
professional players. A great spectator
sport, golf tournaments have become very
popular throughout the world. Today, with
world-wide communications using television
and internet for coverage of tournaments,
and with the increasing amount of
sponsorship money available because of
this media exposure, golf has become one
of the worlds top sports for athletes to
earn money.
