History of the Golf Ball, Desk Plaque, Signed, Numbered, Limited Edition
Item Description
While the modern game of
golf
originated in
15th-century Scotland,
the
game's ancient origins
are unclear and much debated. Some historians trace the sport back to the
Roman game of paganica,
in which participants used a bent stick to hit a stuffed
leather ball.
In
Scotland
, the first written record of
golf is in 1457.
To many golfers, the
Old Course at St Andrews,
a links course dating to before 1574, is considered to be a site of pilgrimage. In 1764, the standard 18-hole golf course was created at
St Andrews
when members modified the course from 22 to 18 holes. Golf is documented as being played on
Musselburgh Links, East Lothian, Scotland
as early as 2 March 1672, which is certified as the oldest golf course in the world by
Guinness World Records.
The
world's oldest golf tournament
in existence, and golf's first major, is The
Open Championship,
which was first played on 17 October 1860 at
Prestwick Golf Club, in Ayrshire, Scotland.
Two Scotsmen
John Reid
and
Robert Lockhart,
first demonstrated golf in the U.S. in 1888, with Reid setting up America's first golf club the same year,
Saint Andrew's Golf Club in Yonkers, New York.
