Golf Was of Lowly Origin; Did Not Start in Scotland According to Some V/riters "If tennis has a royal lineage, golf, which was later regarded as a rich man's game, had most plebeian beginnings. Contrary to a widespread belief, it seems not to have originated in Scotland, but in Northern Europe. Apparently it was first played on ice, being one of the winter sports adapted to the physical geography of the Low Countries. Even in the North, though, it evolved to a terra firma stage, as indicated by a sketch in a book illuminated at Bruges, which shows three players, each with a ball and one club, playing on turf. By the Fifteenth Century golf had attained such vogue in Scotland that ' it threatened the cherished archery, ! and it is classed with "futeball" and other "unprofitable sportis" by James IV. That monarch, however, seems to have disregarded his own edict, as did enough other Scotch men to keep the game alive. Like tennis, golf was played by both sexes. Critics of Mary Stuart cited in evidence that her husband's fate weighed so lightly upon her heart that she was seen playing the game in the fields near Sgton.
