First, a Scottish shepherd used a shepherd's stick to hit stones for fun while herding sheep. Once accidentally hitting a stone into a rabbit's nest in the distance, he suddenly felt that the game of "hitting the stone into the nest" was very attractive, interesting and full of interest. Since then, he has often invited partners to play together, and has been loved and welcomed by people. This kind of activity has gradually become popular. It is said that this is the prototype of golf.
secondly, it is said that in the early 15th century, soldiers stationed in St. Andrews, a city on the North Sea coast of Scotland, often played a game of hitting the ball into the hole on the grass after training. This kind of game is widely circulated in the army. Later, it aroused the strong interest of folk youth, and then became keen on this sport. Even the court nobles, dignitaries and dignitaries began to itch to try, and they ended up with sleeves. Some people think that golf comes from this.
Thirdly, a long time ago, a ball game was popular in England. The method is to use a wooden stick similar to a modern hockey bat to hit the ball into a specified number of holes for entertainment with the least number of strokes. At that time, it was called golf.
according to historical records, in 1879, a blacksmith in England made a batch of iron golf clubs, which developed from clumsy wooden sticks to light and durable iron sticks, which was a breakthrough in the main tool of golf-clubs. It was very popular at that time and was soon designated as a bat for the competition. After forty-one years of evolution, in 192, an American businessman invented a copper bat with a hollow round tube, which was beautiful in shape and excellent in texture. By 1924, this kind of bat was designated as a formal competition bat. After a long time, the golf ball has also changed and improved a lot. Stone balls were first used. Later, we switched to leather balls, sewed them into balls with thick skin, stuffed them with feathers, sewed them with thread, and then fried them in an oil pan. It is said that the ball made in this way is hard and elastic, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to crack and soak in water. This kind of ball remained in use until 1848. Later, a rubber ball was used. On a small compressed rubber, a rubber band was wound into a ball shape, and a hard synthetic material was cast on the opposite side. This is the modern ball. However, in the process, the surface of the ball is smooth, and the surface of the ball becomes uneven due to hammering and friction collision, resulting in some bumps. However, in the long-term exercise, people feel that this kind of ball with bumps of different heights is easy to use, which is why the surface of modern golf must have many tiny bumps. Until 19, a kind of ball with rubber thread wrapped around the center layer by layer and covered with a layer of pockmarked adhesive tape. Since 1911, it has been selected as the competition ball in the Atlantic National Golf Tournament in the United States until now. However, due to the development of science and technology, most golf balls are made of plastic.
