American educator has said that he
read an account of golf game written
by the ancient Aristotle. and had found

is also claimed that Holland was it's
place OF origin. In the earliest records
OF Scottish history. literature and even
legislation, golf occupies prominent
place. Over four centuries ago the
sport had so overwhelmed archery. the
soldiers training, that the Scottish leg
islature decreed that ''the tut ball and
golf be utterly cryit doun and nocht

manned a royal pastime. King James
