Trivia: Mary, Queen of Scots is the first recorded woman to play what sport?
Billiards
Tennis
Golf
Cricket
The correct answer is Golf
So why is this answer correct? : Golf was invented in the Scottish highlands, so it only makes sense that the Queen of Scots herself would be a player. By most accounts, Mary was a big fan of the game and is even credited with popularizing the term “caddie.” It wouldn’t be until 1811 that golf had its first official tournament for women, but, thanks to Mary, women have been playing it since its earliest days.
