One of the oldest, and let’s face it, most bizarre sports from Britain is golf. Originating from Scotland in the 15th century, the game involves whacking a small white ball around a large field and trying to make it land in a series of eighteen tiny holes in the ground. At first, the game was only fully understood by middle-aged men, who spend considerable time at the nineteenth hole—the clubhouse bar.
高尔夫是一项历史悠久的运动,也是起源于英国的一项极为奇特的运动。15世纪,高尔夫开始出现在苏格兰。这项运动要求在一片宽阔的草地上,用球杆将一个白色的小球打进18个小洞。最初,喜欢高尔夫的一般都是中年男性,他们打球的目的更多是在俱乐部的第19个洞——酒吧里消磨时间。
