The game of golf officially became a sport when the gentleman called the Golfer of Leith formed his first club in 1744 and set an annual competition.
The rule of the game was written down in 1744. There are records of several stickers being used in the playing of the game earlier, golf was the game of men just like hockey.
It will surprise many to know that, the winner of the 2011 finisher, Roxy McIlroy, received $1.4 million dollars. It is not a surprise that many people call golf the rich game.
Everything about golf is expensive when compared to the other games.
