Not sure where golf started Experts believe golf originated on the coast of
Scotland Around the 12th or 15th century
The first golfer would just hit a rock into a hole in the ground.
Later they used clubs and a ball. When they took golf as a serious sport
they invented the golf course. They used wooden clubs to hit the ball.
Early golfers would just see how many hits it would take them to try and get it in the hole.
Many golfers today still use that same method.
Early golf clubs were carved out of wood. A while after the wooden clubs ,that they invented
the medal club. With the medal club could hit the ball farther and
would not break as easy. The first golf ball was made out of thin strips of
leather made into a ball and was stuffed with goose feathers.
The next ball was the wooden ball carved out of trees
Next was the rubber ball, they could hit this one farther than the other ones.
Modern day golf balls are made out of pressurized cores and several layers of urethane.
