The Shadow of Great Britain

As an ancient sport originating in the 15th century, golf has taken root on the small island of Great Britain for a long time now.

But perhaps because the land of Scotland was so vast and sparsely populated, after some time, the playful Scottish commoners were no longer content with playing Chole in confined areas; they naturally expanded the activity to include nearby pastures and farmlands. Various natural obstacles like wheat fields and pond ditches, though they increased the difficulty of the game, also made it more interesting.
