History of Golf in Video Games

Golf is a sport that began in 15th century Scotland. With the origin still a subject of debate, historians trace this back to the Romans, who used only a stick and a leather ball. Some other games from history also resemble golf in some form or another. The king of Scotland even banned the sport because it was said to be a distraction from the citizen's duties. Today, the sport is widely known and highly popular because of The Open Championship or British Open, The Masters, The US Open, and PGA Championship held in the United States. Of course, its popularity also made its way to video games. The first golf video game called Computer Golf! was produced by Magnavox and released in the Magnavox Odyssey console in 1978, followed by Pro Golf 1 for Apple II console. As time goes by, more and more golf-themed video games were produced, with the Mario Golf and Tiger Woods golf series being the most popular franchises.
