The history of golf clubs, the development of golf clubs

Early golf clubs.

Since the time of the Roman Empire, people have enjoyed walking outdoors while hitting the ball hard, but the clubs used at that time were nothing more than some primitive bay curl sticks. With the advent of some clubs carved out of wooden yoharu and golf balls, golfers quickly turned to skilled carpenters to build competitive golf clubs, but there was still no standard for designing and manufacturing golf clubs, including how many clubs you wanted.

Today, these curved sticks have evolved into a finely honed set of equipment to meet the challenges of the ever-changing course. These challenges come from the hidden bunkers, pools and bushes in the vast field, or from the ever-lengthening fairways and other natural inclement weather.

In the 15th century, the first wooden shaft appeared in Scotland, the home of golf. At that time, clubs were made of hard, solid wood, which was expensive, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and not durable, and some clubs had to be replaced almost once in a round, which also determined that golf at that time belonged only to high society.

The production of wooden poles is very labor-intensive, and it has to go through multiple drying processes and meticulous material selection processes. Today, hundreds of years later, all-solid wood clubs in the original sense are rare, and most of them belong to antique collections for players to play with, and are hardly used for actual combat.

Golfing is a sport with a special charm. It is an activity for people to exercise their bodies, cultivate their sentiments and improve their skills in a natural and elegant natural green environment.

There are many different theories about the origins of the game of golf, but one of the most popular is that an ancient Scottish shepherd accidentally hit a boulder into a hare hole with a stick while grazing, and was inspired to invent what would become known as golf. Thus, the word "golf" first appeared in documents in the Scottish Parliament in the fourteenth century.

It was the soldiers of Scotland's north coast who were the first to be involved in golfing, and it gradually attracted the interest of the court nobility and the youth of the people, and eventually became a traditional sport in Scotland. It was then introduced to England. At the end of the 19th century, it spread to the Americas, Australia and South Africa, and in the 20th century to Asia.

Because golf was first popular among the court nobles, and the golf course equipment was expensive, it was called "aristocratic sports".

In the twentieth century, golf was introduced to China. In 1931, the Golf Game Center was established in Shanghai. In the same year, Chinese, British and American businessmen jointly established a golf club and opened a golf course next to Nanjing Cemetery Stadium.

In the 80s, golf developed rapidly in our country. In 1985, the China Golf Association was established, and in January 1986, China's first international golf tournament, the "Zhongshan Cup" Mixed Invitational Tournament for Professional and Amateur Players, was held at the Hot Spring Golf Course in Zhongshan City. Since then, it will be held once a year.

In recent years, golf has been rapidly popularized and developed in China.

As a fashion or a subtle hint of identity, golf has gradually infiltrated our urban life and has attracted many people's aspirations. "Golf" is a transliteration of the English golf. In English, the word golf is made up of the initials of the words green, oxygen, light and friendship.

A sport that can have all four of the above attractive contents, in the modern society that advocates leisure, it is no wonder that it can become people's darling. Most people's knowledge of this fascinating sport may still be at a stage where the face is unfamiliar, and here is a brief introduction for you.
