Golf first appeared in Scotland at around 1400s. Though some speculate that it could have started earlier, it was in Scotland that the modern game got its roots. Old as it is, golf continues to be one of the most popular games today. It is played using many types of clubs hitting a ball into a hole. Players should hit the ball with the fewest number of strokes.
