Some people think that golf originated in the Netherlands. Golf is a transliteration of Dutch. It is said that many years ago, when the sheep were grazing and playing in the pasture, the shepherd boys had nothing to do. I often hit small rocks with the shepherd’s stick in my hand. Over time, technology, power factors, and the awareness of being stronger than the competition have emerged. Sometimes it is farther than the hit, and sometimes it is more accurate than the hit. Sometimes it is both far and accurate, both. This is the original form and embryonic form of golf.
The evolution of the golf course also proves this point. The earliest golf course was the ranch. Later, some moved the golf course indoors and other places. But it didn’t take long for them to become a transitional place for exploration. After that, the formal golf course, which is still a simulated ranch, has gradually formed. As for the golf bat, it was originally a shepherd’s stick that was simply processed and trimmed. In the long-term process of hitting rocks with sticks, the shepherd boy found that shepherd sticks with bumps on the top were more handy. You can hit the stone farther. Therefore, they often look for and select such sticks to use. The predecessor of the golf club is indeed the shepherd stick in the hands of the shepherd boy. As for the invention and appearance of the curved bat, it was later.
It is said that there is an ancient Dutch painting from the 14th century. There are three people holding small balls and the other holding a stick to hit the ball. Some people think this is the earliest Dutch golf sport.
