The game of golf is not a young game. This game, which has traditionally been credited as a Scottish creation, has been around for hundreds of years. Its long existence can definetly be verified through a check of centuries-old legal documents.
Golf has definetly been around since at least the fifteenth century. This can be verified from a legal edict issued at the time. In 1457, near the end of the rule of King James II, the Scottish Parliament issued a decree outlawing the playing of golf. The reason was that golf was believed to be a waste of time. There was concern that citizens would be spending time on the useless sport of golf rather than spending time on more practical skills such as archery, fencing, and jousting. Archery, fencing, and jousting were, after all, considerably more useful in the defense of the country than golf.
