Golf is a sport in which a golf ball is hit into a hole with different golf clubs. Golf is a sport with a special charm, allowing people to exercise their body and communicate skills in a beautiful natural environment, known as a "fashion and elegant sport".
Golf originated in Scotland in the 15th century. In the early days, golf was played among princes and nobles. With the development of golf equipment, golf began to become popular among the middle class.
By the 20th century, the rules and system of golf were established, and international golf events were widely developed.
Golf was introduced to Asia in the 1820s.
The United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews in England are recognized as the authorities in interpreting and revising the rules of golf. The world's most important golf competitions include the World Cup, the United States Open, and so on.
According to historical documents, the earliest record of golf appeared in 1457. King James II of Scotland had ordered Parliament to ban golf.
The name of golf is also derived from the Scottish word Gouf, meaning "to hit or play". Golf courses are now being built in imitation of Scotland's unique sandy beaches. It is required to have good drainage, and high-quality growth lawn, but also to have certain ups and downs.
Golf was established as a sports industry in 1744. In 1860, the world's first golf tournament, the British Open, started the modern game.
Golf was included in the 1900 and 1904 Olympics, but it was not an official Olympic sport. Golf was an official sport in 1900, 1904, and the 2016 Olympics.
The fastest speed ever recorded for a golf ball is 328km/h, or 91 m/ s.
Golf balls have rough surfaces, and the reason for this is that rough golf balls experience half the drag in flight as smooth golf balls do. It can travel five times as far as a smooth ball.
The purpose of the hole in the golf ball's surface is to hold the surface air tightly to the surface of the ball, making the air behind it less resistant and allowing the golf ball to travel farther and faster.
The critical point at which an object flying in the air changes from chaotic turbulence to smooth laminar flow is greatly affected by the roughness of the object's surface. The small pit on the surface of a golf ball can increase its roughness and reduce its shaking and falling during high-speed flight so that the golf ball can fly farther.
