One part of the Country Sports Line from Coloniaire Autumn / Winter 2022 draws inspiration from the old Hickory golf sport.
The history of golf is a mystery. Where and when the golf game started, we may never know.
That's part of the charm of the game.

Before the middle of the 15th century, there are no recorded writings that mention golf as a phenomenon.
It is known that golf was played in Scotland in 1457 because the then king, King James II, banned golf and football
in a legal text. Those who, despite the ban, took the liberty of playing these games were punished and perhaps
even imprisoned. The reason is that the king felt that the Games took too much time, time that could instead be
devoted to practicing archery skills and military training.
