Which island nation invented the sport of golf as we now know it?
Answers
A spokesman for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest Scottish golf organisations, said "Stick and ball games have been around for many centuries", but golf as we know it today, played over 18 holes, clearly originated in Scotland.
The island country that concocted the game of golf in the fifteenth century is Scotland. Golf is a club and ball game in which the player hits the ball to a series of holes.
The origin of golf is vague and much discussed. In any case, it is by and large acknowledged that modern golf created in Scotland from the Middle Ages onwards.
The game did not discover universal prominence until the late nineteenth century, when it spread into rest of the United Kingdom and after that to the British Empire and the United States.
