Golf is a widely popular game in the West. The game involves clubs and balls. A golf club is used to hit a golf ball, each club has a shaft with a lance on top and a club head at the bottom. The length of the a club depends on the distance the ball has to be propelled.
The origin of the game of golf is still under debate. Some historians say it originated from paganica, a Roman game. The ancient game of cambuca in England and chambot in France closely resembles modern golf. The modern golf beyond doubt is originated in Scotland, as there is a written record of James 11 banning this game is1457, stating the game is a distraction from learning archery.
