Archery was so vital to the Scotland's national defense, the game of golf in Scotland became a crime punishable by hanging. The modern game of golf we understand today is generally regarded as a Scottish invention, the game has been mentioned in two 15th century laws Scottish Parliament, which forbade the reading of the gowf game because he was having the time of archery, which was necessary for national defense.

The modern game of golf originated and developed in Scotland: the golf first permanent home in Scotland, as well as golf club membership first. The first written rules originally there, and the creation of 18 holes. First developed formalized tournament structures and competitions were held between different Scottish cities. In short, the modern game of golf had spread from Scotland England and from there to the rest of the world. The golf world's oldest is the Old Links at Musselburgh Links. It was shown that golf is played on Musselburgh Links in 1672 although Mary, Queen of Scots believe he played in 1567.

In the 1860s, there were regular flights from London to Edinburgh. The enthusiasm of the King of Scotland, transport links have improved considerably and the writings of Sir Walter Scott caused an explosion of tourism in Scotland and a greater interest in history and Scottish culture abroad. This period also coincided with the gutty development, a golf ball made of gutta-percha, which was mass-produce cheaper, more durable and more consistent quality and performance than the feather filled leather ball used previously. Golf has begun to spread the rest of the British Isles. In 1864, the golf resort of Westward Ho! became the first course back in England from Blackheath. In 1880, England had 12 courses, 50 in 1887 and 1000 in 1914. The game in England has increased sufficiently by 1890 to produce his first Open Championship, John Ball. The game has also started to further spread through the Commonwealth and the British holiday destinations.
