Can you believe it that golf is derived from China? You may absolutely utter " of course not, China? Impossible!.At the first place, I myself couldn't believe it. But evidences show that there was a sport resembles the modern golf game very much. At the year of two hundred or three hundred BC, there was a ball game called Cuiwan in China. In Ming Dynasty, some documents recorded Cuiwan as "a game of kicking a ball while walking". And some wall paintings illustrating this game can add to its evidence. But it is the only evidence that China may be the origin country of golf.
No matter China is the golf hometown or not, no one can deny that it is a rising superpower. But some sports are left behind in China, such as golf and American football.
Golf was introduced into China at an very late time, about 1916. then in 1917, Shanghai Hongqiao Golf Club started its business. It has a nine-hole golf course. But after that, golf seemed to be disappeared in the mainland China. The reason is obvious: communist party came into power, and the government disagree anything related to leisure spending in capitalist countries.
In the middle of 1980s, with the Reform and Open Policy in china, golf game had a chance to reappear in the mainland China, while this time, the spread is both wide and fast.
On May 24, 1985, Chinese Golf Association is established in Beijing. This is a national sport organization, which is a member department of China National Sports Organization. Its main job is to propagandize and organize people to participate in golf game, to hold international matches and promote international communication, to organize national wide competitions and training sessions, to make rules about managing, competition and certificate of players, trainers, referees.
In china, golf courses are almost located in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Haikou and with the souring economy in this country, more and more comparative small cities like Chongqing, Guiyang also are building its own golf courses. If one day you visit this country and want to play golf, you needn't worry about whether there is place to go. I can ensure, that almost everywhere, every middle sized city, you can find one standard golf course.
