Golf Chess Set Inspiration

Golf History
Golf as we know it today originated from a game played on the eastern coast of Scotland in the Kingdom of Fife
during the 15th century. Players would hit a pebble around a natural course of sand dunes, rabbit runs and tracks
using a stick or primitive club.
In the 500 years that have followed, the game has advanced from one played with simple hand-made clubs and
leather balls stuffed with feathers to the game we know today with it's use of golf clubs designed by computer and
made with space-age materials such as titanium and graphite.
While the rules and courses of golf have become much more systematized, and the technology employed in the
making of clubs and the balls so advanced, actually hitting the golf ball towards the hole remains a dark art. It is as
much a mystery now as it was in shire of Fife in the 1400s!
Know any golf fanatics? It would be hard not to since there's so many of us. The Golf Chess Set I would be a
perfect gift for the avid golfer to display proudly in their home or office. A gift such as this, to a person such as that,
would enable them to play "golf" year round regardless of the weather.
