Balls Womens Ladies

Golf was originally played by men …. Or was originally a ladies golf game? (God forbid!)

Current Last year, I visited exposure Ming Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. My interest was awakened by a hand roll of color ink on silk, exquisite beauty, which is also Part of the beauty "and jokes" of the life of the ladies of the court "in the palace interior. This wonderful roller attributed to Du Jin (1465-1500), represents the women making their favorites including serving snacks (no surprise there!), kick a ball (which the ladies of the time to really play soccer or better yet, the football? – My mind is really time to try to imagine that !)… and, even more curious … playing a game of golf … Wow

I, needless to say, did a double take, and yes, women do not show (men wear kimonos!) The holding of a club that has clearly been a golf club as we know it today can not be his new Nike square-headed driver, but it represents a regular process, with a groove in the face with a golf ball and small ball pit. So here we clearly see the ladies in China in the late 1400s playing a round of golf on the inside walls of the Imperial Palace.

You, like me, can understand the lyrics really mean Golf "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden". While it is clear that no truth to this is the origin of the name "golf" because this kind of pun not been in vogue at that time, over the years has certainly been a golf school who think women should be far from over …

Where does golf really start? And it has been played by men or women? Some research on Google and a quick look at other resources is not a conclusive answer.

It seems that there are many countries who argue that golf has started with them. And there's a certain amount of evidence in support of each claim. clearly a game of golf as played in many counties, not just in Scotland or China, but also in Rome, Holland, Belgium, France and England, to name a few of requesting country.

In China, the records show that his golf as a game in particular, called "chiuwan", has played five hundred years before golf was never mentioned in Scotland (well before the date from the list, I saw the exhibition of Ming.) This particular version was played with 10 clubs and 14, and there is no reference to what is played over 18 holes, totaling an average of 72. By Chinese researchers is suggested that golf could have found their way to Europe Mongolian praise from travelers during the Middle Ages.

The Dutch claim to have not only begun the game of golf, but also a statement the name of the game. The Dutch word "Colf" really means and Colf transformed golf club.

So how Scottish response to these demands? They agree that stick and ball games are played throughout the world for centuries, but golf as we know it today, play 18 holes, was in effect from Scotland. And the golf course name may very well come from the Netherlands.

And as for whether it was originally interpreted by men or women, rich or poor, it is evident that both sexes and people from all level of society must play golf games, for many centuries.
