History of Golf

In 1788, one of the greatest days in sports, the first golf course was built
in Scotland. Scotland is considered to be the birthplace of golf. The game of
golf began its destiny in time towards becoming popular around the world. This
weird and complex game did not reach the United States until 1844, in New York,
