Inclusiveness in golf club technology

Article body
The game of golf originated and was created by men in the highest classes of society. This sport has had a long history of excluding social identities and groups and has only recently made changes to make the sport more inclusive for the rest of society. When golf club technology first started growing and evolving, the game was incredibly exclusive. As stated in “The History of Golf,” King James IV of Scotland was the first monarch to promote the game of golf, giving it a royal endorsement (Johnson). Eventually, it was brought to England by King Charles I and then to France by Mary Queen of Scots. This endorsement by royals and royal adjacent society made the game exclusive to the elite.
