Some additional content we plan to add to the page:

In 1457 parliament banned golf in Scotland. Parliament did this because guys were golfing alot and it was distracting them from training for the military. After the ban by parliament people were still playing golf. In 1502 golf was unbanned by King James VI. When King James VI unbanned golf he started to play golf. No one knows where he first played but he enjoyed playing the sport.

When golf first started out they did not have metal clubs. The scottish had to use pebbles and modified wooden sticks. There were no groomed golf courses when the sport first started. They had to play in a natural course and they had to use rabbit holes.

Ten years after St. Andrew's Society of Golfers was created, stroke play was invented. Stroke play is when golfers count the number of hits it takes to get the golf ball into the whole. Each hole is assigned a number of strokes that it should take you to get the ball in the hole. The assigned number of strokes depends on the length and the difficulty of that hole.

Summary:

Since our sandbox is not letting us work together on the assignment we have inputted our progress on this document so we can showcase what we plan to accomplish once resolved. We have an outline of topics we plan on including in our wiki page. We believe that these topics really encompass the true history and impact Scotland has on the golf world. Above is a few paragraphs of what we plan on putting in the article right away based on some information that is already inputted in the article. The article only has 2 existing small paragraphs that help a little towards the information the article will display. The information above is also edited information from the pre existing content on the page. We believe that the original creator left out these important pieces of information when talking about the origin of the sport in the country and how it was ultimately invented.
