Although the argument is still the first who invented the sport of Golf, the only certain fact about the origins of golf is that golf was first played in Scotland, in the form we know today. Apparently, around 1353, golfers adopted the principle of allowing each team to give a blow uninterrupted seconds. Previously, Players alternate teams hit a ball back and forth across the links in Fife.

The history shows that golf courses also quickly gained such popularity that eclipsed the sport of archery. Archery was so vital to Scotland's national defense, the game of golf in Scotland was a crime punishable by hanging. The modern game of golf we understand today is generally regarded as an invention of Scotland since the game was mentioned in two century laws 15 Scottish Parliament, which reproduced gowf game because he was taking the time to practice archery, which was necessary for national defense.

The modern game of golf originated and developed in Scotland: the first permanent golf originated in Scotland and as belonging to the first golf clubs. The first written rules of origin, as well as the establishment of the 18-hole course. 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 playing golf course in the world is The Old Links at Musselburgh Links. Evidence has shown that golf is played on Musselburgh Links in 1672 although Mary, Queen of Scots allegedly played there in 1567.

In 1603 James VI of Scotland succeeded to the throne of England. He and his courtiers played golf at Blackheath, London, the the Royal Blackheath Golf Club traces its origins. There is evidence that Scottish soldiers, expatriates and emigrants took the game to the British colonies and other locations during the 18th and early 19th century.

The Royal Calcutta Golf Club and the club Pau in southwestern France are striking reminders of these tours and are the oldest golf clubs outside and the British Isles and the oldest in continental Europe, respectively. However, it was not until the late 19th century that golf became widely popular outside his home in Scotland.

In the 1860s there were regular services from London to Edinburgh. The real excitement Scotland, transport links have improved considerably and the writings of Sir Walter Scott caused a boom for tourism in Scotland and a wider interest in history and culture Scotland outside the country. This period also coincided with the development of the gutty, a golf ball made of gutta-percha was cheaper to produce in mass, more durable and more consistent quality and performance that the pen full of leather balls used previously. Golf began to spread to the rest of the British Isles. In 1864 the golf course in the resort of Westward Ho! became the first new course in England from Blackheath. In 1880 there were 12 areas of England, reaching 50 in 1887 and over 1000 in 1914. The game in England had progressed far enough in 1890 to produce his first Open Championship, John Ball. The game also started to further spread through the British Commonwealth and the British holiday destinations.

For the 1880 golf courses had been established in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa. Followed by Singapore in 1891. Courses were also established several tourist sites in mainland Europe for the benefit of British visitors.

The word golf was first mentioned in writing in 1457 in a charter of the Scottish Parliament banned as gouf games, possibly derived the word goulf Scots (variously spelled) meaning "to strike or cuff". This word, in turn, is derived from the Dutch word Kolf which means "stick" or "club" and the Dutch sport of the same name.
