Golf was played in various different game forms since the middle ages in Europe. As far as the game is concerned, it was played over centuries but the different ways and forms of the games changed as different rules were applied widely. This means that the game which included knocking a ball to and from a designated place was common since the fifteenth century. The exact answer to the question that when did golf originate is unanswerable, but history clarifies that it had several forms by the 15th century and was known as ‘kolf’ in the Netherlands, and ‘goff’ in England. In Scotland, the game was known as ‘gowf’ and it is evident that in Scotland, this game has been nurtured since the last five hundred years. The game was born in eastern Scotland and it is from this place that it has raised to one of the greatest games played by millions and loved by many all over the world (McGrath 76) The beginning of golf: During the 1750 and 1850, golf gained popularity and many of the leading players of all time belong to this period. Many of the golf clubs were founded in this period and the great ball and club makers emerged producing skilled craftsmen providing golf equipment worldwide. Golf had also become common among the players who met regularly and played matches. Allan Robertson, who is known to be the first golf professional, played in this period and played the great match in 1843 with Willie Dunn. ...

These events turned this game into a global game. The first event was the discovery of ‘gutta percha’ based ball, also known as ‘gutty’ in 1848 by James Patterson (Beard 42). The new ball’s durability led to the development of clubs that were iron-faced, hence the evolution process continued. The second event was when the railway came to the town of St Andrews. it served much to the golf game as well. People could travel to play throughout the year and not just in spring or autumn. Development and emergence of some great players: In 1851, Tom Morris was born who was one of the greatest golf players ever. Every golf player to hit a golf ball till date remembers Tom Morris, and every administrator remembers when Tom Morris went to Prestwick to launch the first ever purpose built golf course in Monkton parish. The first Open Championship of golf was held in Prestwick. There were eight leading professionals who took part and Willie Park was the winner and received a red Morocco belt of leather with silver clasps as a prize. This championship continued for 11 years at Prestwick. The period from 1890 to 1914 has been an important period for this game as players such as Harry Vardon, John Henry Taylor, and James Braid were in this era. These players are known as the great triumvirate as they collected 16 championships and left a bright impression on the golf game. Vardon and Taylor had contributed to the widespread of the game in the beginning of the 19th century. They were established players and joined James Braid in the Open Championships. They excluded the Scot players from the games during that period.
