The exact origins of the game continue to be a topic of debate, but golf as we know it certainly began in Scotland several centuries ago and has now colonized the globe. Millions of passionate fans turn on their television sets each weekend to watch the world's top players compete, and die-hard amateurs flock to the courses themselves to work on their ever-improving games.
