Summary: Golf is a game in which players use clubs with various degrees of loft to hit a small ball into a hole. It is thought to have originated in the Netherlands but during the 15th century Scotland opened the world's first golf course called St. Andrews and popularized the game to what it has become today. At that time players did not play 18 holes. They would play a total of 22 holes per round instead. In 1764 they decided that a few of the holes were too short so they combined them and the total per round became the 18 we play today. So many games with using sticks have been around for centuries but golf, as we know it today, is thought widely to have originated in Scotland.

This video series is perfect for either the beginning golfer or a seasoned player.
