The Romans played a game like golf by striking a feather stuffed ball with club shaped branches during the reign of Caesar. Golf was banned in Scotland in 1457. The oldest golf course is in Scotland, called St. Andrews, and it was used as early as the 16th century.Golf became firmly established in Great Britain by the 17th century. In the 1800s the gutta perched ball replaced the feather filled ball. In 1860 the first British Open was played. The 1st permanent golf club in North America, Canada's Royal Montreal Club, was founded in 1873. The 1st 18 hole course in the United States was the Chicago Golf Club that was founded near Wheaton, Ill., in 1893
