Golf was first played on the coast of Scotland during the 15th century. The game was a little different back then. However, golfers would actually hit a small rock or pebble in instead of a ball using a stick. Additionally, they would hit the rock around in the sand, rather than on grass like today. It wasn't until 1750 that golf became what we know it as today. In 1774, golfers in Edinburgh first wrote the Standardized Rules for the game. Golfers eventually tired of hitting rocks and tried other things. The first attempt was balls made of leather and feathers. In 1858, Adam Paterson invented the gutta-percha ball. This ball was made from Gutta Tree sap. Then, in 1898, Coburn Haskell invented the rubber cored ball. These balls could reach distances of 400 yards or more. Until 1905, however, golf balls were smooth.In the 1824 a man called Haggis Macgregor invented the game golf.
