Someone recently told me that the phrase "tee time" in golf originally started in Scotland because the game was played at what would have been tea time. I've known a few people who would rather skip tea and head to the golf course.
Golf hasn't always been a legal sport. In 1457, practice was banned. Apparently men were spending too much time with their golf clubs instead of practicing with their bows and arrows—and archery was instrumental to the military.
Ah, imagine how much quicker truce could be formed between countries if serious golfers negotiated peace treaties, and couldn't return to their game until an agreement was reached.
