All You Need is.....Golf!

In Enlgand, by the times of the years 1600, they didn't have much control over what they did and didn't take the time to think about what would happen after everything they did. You can see an example when some english got protestants as prisoners, got their miney and put the men on jail. They left the rest of the family, without the husband\father, without money, and in the worse times in England.At first, they imprisoned them, but then they left the rest of the family go. Also, some they didn't catch prisoners but exiled them from the country, and some even were hung. Some others had their homes burn. In the summer of 1608, in the middle of the bad times England was having, the Scotish introduced Golf to England. At first, this was an expensive game, in which only the rich people could play. What is most amazing about this is that now, 400 years later, golf is one of the most popular sportss in the world. It has made some peoples win millions of dollars just by playing it. It is incredible how only a few people who play it know it's actual background, when most don't know that golf emerged in one of the worse times in England. It has changed a lot since. They used to play five holes with leather balls. The clubs were made as their names stated it. The iron, made from iron. Now we play eighteen holes with balls made of plastic with rubber inside. The clubs have changed a lot. Now there is technology in each one as well as in the balls. Now the clubs play for you; all you do is swing, the bal, and the club will do the rest!
