The origin of the game is a very controversial topic. It is generally accepted that golf is originally from Scotland from where it then spread in British Isles and from there the rest of the world, but some fans and historians cite the existence of written documents, ordinances and decrees to protect the public from the players, whose evidence, incontrovertible, {Steven van Hengel, Dutch historian} shows the practice of a game called "golf" in Netherlands since 1297. The growing consensus that the name derives from the acronym "Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden" is totally unfounded. The origin of the word should be sought, following an approach etymological Scottish and Dutch dialects in the Middle Ages, the word "kolve" meaning club.
is difficult in any event settle the "dispute" that lasted for centuries, what is certain is that the game played by the Dutch is well documented both by public edicts, which granted land for paths "maid", both sentences courts punished by fines of golfers ahead of its time which caused damage and disturbing the peace coming to play within the walls of the city.

there is to say, however, that at the end of the thirteenth century, literacy was not widespread in Europe and particularly in Scotland. This may explain the absence of written documents as you consider it necessary to write down any references to a pastime practiced by few. The controversy over who invented the golf has existed and will exist forever. Some accuse Scots of having deliberately distorted in their favor, for reasons of patriotism, the origin of the sport.
Distinguished historians claimed that golf was invented after the founding of the University of Saint Andrews in 1413, but in support of this claim did not bring any evidence and there is evidence that at that time golf was played in Scotland for more a century. In short, what certainly can be documented is that between 1300 and 1400, the trade between the Netherlands and the east coast of Scotland were flourishing, and a standard, so if a game a bit 'fancy had taken hold in Scotland as in the Netherlands , the news would take very little time to spread in both directions across the North Sea. Another fact was certainly imported into Scotland from Holland and the balls of oncoming traffic to cleek Scotland. In conclusion we can say that there are high chances that golf originated in Holland . It is also documented that when golf is popular in Scotland the game Holland was no longer practiced. The first rules golf were encoded by the responsible Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers.
This sport was part of the Olympic program in 1900 and 1904.
