Improve my golf has for your perusal a brief on the Origins of Golf, please read on :-

The origins of golf appear to be rather unclear and much debated. However, it is generally accepted that modern golf quite possibly evolved in Scotland during the period of the Middle Ages.  Generally the game  did not find international fame until the late 19th century.

A type of golf game is recorded as having taken place in February 1297, in a Dutch city called Loenen aan de Vecht, where the players, using a stick and leather ball engaged in a game. The winner being the person who managed to hit the ball into a designated area some distance away with the least number of strokes. There are some scholars who argue that this game of putting a small ball in a hole in the ground using golf clubs was also played in 17th-century Netherlands and that this predates the game in Scotland. Other reports of earlier accounts of a golf-like game seem to originate from continental Europe.

In April 2005, new evidence infused the continued debate concerning the origins of golf with renewed vigour. Recent evidence unearthed by Prof. Ling Hongling of Lanzhou University suggests that a similar game to modern-day golf was played in China during the Southern Tang Dynasty,  this could place the origins of golf some 500 years before golf was first mentioned in Scotland.

Dōngxuān Records (Chinese: 東軒錄) from the Song Dynasty (960–1279) describes a similar game called chuíwán (捶丸) drawings of the game can also be seen. Played with 10 clubs including a cuanbangpubang, and shaobang - comparable to a driver, two-wood, and three-wood. The Clubs were inlaid with jade and gold, suggesting chuíwán was for the wealthy. Chinese archives include references to a Southern Tang official who asked his daughter to dig holes as a target. it has been suggested that chuíwán could have been exported to Europe and then Scotland by Mongolian travellers in the late MiddleAges.

However, the modern game of golf is generally considered to be a Scottish invention. A spokesman for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest Scottish golf organisations, said “Stick and ball games have been around for many centuries, but golf as we know it today, played over 18 holes, clearly originated in Scotland.” The word golf, or in Scots gouf, is usually thought to be a Scots alteration of the Dutch word “colf” or “colve” meaning “stick, “club“, “bat“, itself related to the Proto-Germanic language *kulth- also found in Old Norse kolfr meaning “bell clapper”, and the German word Kolben meaning “mace or club”. The Dutch term Kolven refers to a related sport.
