How about the origin of this madness called “Golf"—where did it start, who began it, and why? “And how!” you might also add, as it is now played by five million or more people throughout the world. ‘The beginnings of this fascinating pastime are lost in antiquity, We don’t know whether it originated in Scotland or on the Continent. Even the Irish claim it! One legend makes Regulus, the man who car- ried St. Andrew's bones to St. An- drew’s, Scotland, in the eighth cen- tury, an Irishman, and has him ine troducing golf to Scotland at the same time.

For many years a controversy has raged between those who claim that golf had its beginning in Scotland and those who claim Holland as its birthplace. The Dutch country is full of paintings of men playing a game called “Kolf,” in which a ball is struck with a club, usually against an upright post. Most of the tiles or paintings show it played on the ice, and those who vote for Scotland as the home of golf claim that the Dutch pictures are misleading, and that not one represents a true golf scene. “There is no.evidence,” they say, “of & game played with several clubs, where each player has & separate ball, and where the goals are designated holes in the ground.” THE VERY FIRST MENTION OF GOLF’ AN EDICT OF THE SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT IN 1457 BANNED GOLF BECAUSE IT WAS WASTING TIME THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEVOTED To THE PRACTICE THERE ARE MANY OF ARCHER EVIDENCES IN DUTCH TILE9 AND PAINTINGS OF A GAME_CALLED "KOLF AND PLAYED WITH A CLUB AND BALL usuALLy ON THE ICE. 1 1?1: FIRST N AM!RICA\ cLug wAs THE ST YAM&VS N But Scot'and has left absolutely no art showing any Scotchmen play- ing golf, and there is one Dutch book, “The Book of Hours,” printed in Burges about 1500, which has an illusiration showing three little men knocl three balls around with clubs e inverted canes, in a fenced- 1n plot where there is & HOLE IN THE GROUND, their ap- parent goal!
