While continuing invent the argument about the sport of golf, the fact that some of the roots of golf is that golf was first played Once in Scotland as we know it day. It seems that in about 1353, adopted the principle that each team of golfers to strike uninterrupted seconds. Previously, players alternate hitting teams a ball and other links in Fife.

History shows that the golf course as soon gained popularity that has overshadowed the sport of archery. Shot the arch was so vital to Scotland's national defense, the game of golf in Scotland was made a crime punishable by hanging. Modern golf game that we hear today is generally considered Scottish invention, the game has been mentioned in two 15th century laws of the Scottish Parliament, which forbade the reading of the gowf game because he was having the time of archery, which was necessary for national defense.

The modern game of golf originated and developed in Scotland: the golf course first permanent home in Scotland, as well as golf club membership first. The first written rules originally there, and the creation of the course 18 holes. The first formalized tournament structures developed and competitions were held between different Scottish cities. In short, the modern game of golf had spread from Scotland to England and from there to the rest of the world. The oldest golf game in the world lies in the old links at Musselburgh Links. It has been shown that golf is played on Musselburgh Links in 1672 although Mary, Queen of Scots believe he played in 1567.

In 1603, Jacques VI of Scotland to the throne of England. He and his courtiers played golf at Blackheath, London, including the Royal Blackheath Golf Club traces its origins. There is evidence that Scottish soldiers, expatriates and migrants took the game in the British colonies and elsewhere during the 18th and early 19th.

The Royal Calcutta Golf Club and the club Pau Southwestern France is an important reminder of these trips, and are the oldest golf clubs outside the British Isles and the oldest in continental Europe, respectively. However, it was not until the late 19th century Golf has spread outside his home in Scotland.

In the 1860s, there were scheduled services from London Edinburgh. Real enthusiasm of Scotland, transport links have improved considerably and the writings of Sir Walter Scott caused a boom in Scottish tourism and a greater interest in history and Scottish culture abroad. This period also coincided with the gutty development, a golf ball made of gutta-percha, which was cheaper mass produce, more durable and more consistent quality and performance than the pen filled leather ball used previously. Golf has begun to spread through the rest of the British Isles. In 1864, the golf resort of Westward Ho! became the first course back in England from Blackheath. In 1880, England had 12 courses, 50 in 1887 and 1000 in 1914. The game in England was sufficiently increased in 1890 to produce his first Open Championship, John Ball. The game has also started to further spread through British Commonwealth and British destinations.

For the 1880 golf courses had been established in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Africa South. Singapore has adopted in 1891. The courts have also been established at various stations of the European continent for the benefit of British visitors.

The word Golf was first mentioned in writing in 1457 on a Scottish statute on forbidden games as Gouf, perhaps derived from the word goulf Scots (variously spelled) meaning "to strike or cuff". This word, in turn, is derived from the Dutch word Kolf that means "stick" or "club" and the Dutch sport of the same name.
