The game has gone full circle.

I'll try not to make this a history lesson, but golf originated in Scotland in the 15th century when players would hit a pebble using a stick. Of course the game has come on a long way since then, but its nice to see that the country that thought up the game is still doing well at it. Similar to England with football, Scotland gave the world golf and the world got better than them at it, with America becoming dominant in the major tournaments and producing great players such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. However last year in the Golf world cup, Scotland (through Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren) won it for the first ever time. If you think of how many more professionals countries like America have at their disposal it puts this achievement in to context. Its not just on the professional side that Scotland are having success however. On Sunday, Scotland (thanks to Wallace Booth, Callum Macaulay and Gavin Dear) won their first ever amateur world title by nine shots from the United States, a monumental achievement for a country so small. I just thought I'd congratulate them on their achievement. It's nice to see a country that invented a game, still being doing so well in it, well done Scotland.
