Trivia: In what country did golf originate?
France
Netherlands
Scotland
China
The correct answer is Scotland
So why is this answer correct? : The origins of golf can be traced back to medieval times off the eastern coast of Scotland near Edinburgh. Back then, the idea was to hit a pebble around sand dunes and tracks using sticks or clubs. The game needed some refinement, but it was still incredibly popular. In 1457, King James II of Scotland banned the sport because its popularity was interfering with military training, but the ban was largely ignored and later revoked by King James IV.
