高尔夫球的发源,据说是从两干多年前罗马帝国牧羊人于放牧时用牧羊杖在草地上击打圆石的游戏演变而来。至十八世纪中叶,苏格兰人将之发扬光大,一七五四年成立的“皇家高尔夫球会”,定下许多准则和规例,至今仍被采用。苏格兰人现在仍是狂热的高尔夫球爱好者,到过爱丁堡的人会知道此城市是世上极少 The origins of the golf ball are said to have evolved from the game of the Shepherd's Mace playing boulders on grass during two years of Roman Empire shepherd grazing. By the middle of the eighteenth century, the Scottish people carried forward the “royal golf club” established in 1754 and set many norms and regulations which are still being adopted so far. Scots are still avid golfers, people who have been to Edinburgh will know that the city is very few in the world
