Great Britain The earliest traces of golf history has golf being played are said to date back to 1340, where in a sketch from a stained glass window, Great East Window, in east wing of Gloucester Cathedral, England, scenes of Battle of Crecy in France showed a man apparently preparing to strike a ball in a golf-like manner.
One of early forms of golf were all missing one important ingredient to their games to truly make game golf and that was hole. Scotland is widely believed to be first country to put all ingredients together and actually start a primitive form of great game of golf.
Yes, this will always be a disputed point, who actually invented game of golf. If you believe some of claims that game they were playing was golf and they didn’t have a hole, then you could take this same game and turn it into origin of many games we still play today. I believe hole is what separates all early claims to who originated game of golf.
