The correct answer is Scotland.

Golf dates back to the time of Julius Cesar, the game consisted then of striking a ball full of feathers with a tree branch. It can  also be traced back to the Song Dynasty in China.

The modern game of golf originated in<em> Scotland in the year 1457.</em>  The first written record of golf was the banning of it by King James II of Scotland, because it distracted the military from training. King James IV lifted the ban in 1502 when he became a golfer himself. In 1764, the standard, 18-hole golf course was created at Saint Andrews.

Golf became a pastime in Great Britain in the 17th century. The first British Open, a tournament played till today, took place in 1860.

The word gold derives from the Scots word<em> goulf</em> meaning to 'strike or to cuff'.

The sport of golf was first developed, established and played in the island nation of Scotland, and afterwards spread to the rest of the world by Scotts. The exact origins of golf are unclear, but the most accepted theory states that its origins date from the 15th century. Despite that, there were not any written rules until 1744, known today as “13 Articles”, drafted by The Gentlemen Golfers of Leith.

Why was there tension between the United States and the USSR after World War ||?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Tension was created because both the United States and the USSR wanted their ways of government spread over Europe, because Germany was split into two parts. One given to the US and the other to the USSR. The US side was influenced with US ideologies and the USSR part was made communist. The US did not like what the USSR was doing and the USSR did not like what the US was doing. So as tensions grew, both sides started to flex the newest technology they had created, and is known as the Cold War.
