Although modern golf originated in 15th century Scotland, the sport’s ancient origins are unclear and controversial. According to some historians, in the Roman paganica, players used a curved stick to hit a stuffed leather ball. This theory holds that paganica spread throughout Europe as the Romans conquered it during the first century BC and eventually evolved into the modern sport. Other historians argue that modern golf evolved from mace, a Chinese game that existed from the 8th to 14th centuries. A text dating back to 1368 entitled “The Autumn Feast” shows it. a scene in which a court man used a stick to hit a small ball with the aim of putting the ball into the hole. This game is said to have been introduced to Europe in the Middle Ages. A game that resembles golf is called cambuca in the UK (in France it’s called chambot).
