People have been playing golf for centuries and will continue to play for many to come. If you are just starting out or if you have been playing the game for a long time, you are a part of history. Golf began in Scotland with sheep herders who pitched rocks into holes dug by rabbits and other animals with their staffs. The game become competitive after awhile and evolved into the game it is today. After starting in Scotland, golf quickly spread to England, Canada, and eventually the United States. There are golf courses all over the world today in many countries including South America, Africa, and Asia.

Even though the game now has a set of rules that everyone follows, when the game started different regions had slightly different rules. Once the game of golf become more popular, rules were created and so were golf courses complete with obstacles, green grass, and beautiful views. For those who live near a golf course, there is nothing more beautiful than sunrise over the greens. Many people enjoy the view and the game so much that they move to communities that are on the golf course. This makes it much easier to get to the course and play more often.

After a few years of playing golf at the same course, you may want to find new courses and challenges. When traveling on vacation, visit new courses. Since there are courses all over the world, you should be able to find one or two that you can play while relaxing on vacation. You can also go on a golf vacation where you visit a few courses within a week or so. This is fun for those who golf with groups or those who want to meet other golfers.

Golf will continue to grow in popularity as more and more celebrity golfers, magazines, and pro shops open. There are many new golf courses that open each year and are open to anyone who wants to take up the game or those who want to play at a new golf course.
