Golf is a game which is played on a large area, which is not clearly demarcated and usually stretches across large distances. The golf course is not like a simple playing field, and each course is different from the other. Most golf courses comprise nine or eighteen holes.

The first game of golf for which records survive was played at Bruntsfield Links, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The word golf was first mentioned in writing in 1457 on a Scottish statute on forbidden games as gouf, possibly derived from the Scots word goulf meaning to strike or cuff.

But there is an even earlier reference to the game of golf and it is believed to have happened in 1452 when King James II banned the game because it kept his subjects from their archery practice.
