At the Top of the Swing (as it should not be), by E.L. Shute. From an illustration about golf, dating from 1889 to 1901. The history of golf is a long one. Though its origins are disputed, historians are generally agreed that what is known as “modern” golf began in the Middle Ages in Scotland. It was not until the mid to late nineteenth century that this sport became more popular in wider Britain, the British Empire and then the United States. Over the years the humble golf ball and golf club have changed vastly.
