The Golden Rule ? Sense or Bullshit?

[Red Celt]

And I suppose you won't believe that the Chinese were the ones who invented golf and played it ages before it blew over to Europe!

How do you get to be so wrong, so consistently? It truly is a gift.

Most things deemed "Scottish" came from other countries. From memory, the bagpipes came from Turkey. Golf (or a variety of the game) may well have originated in China. That isn't the same thing as saying that it was then exported to Scotland. Unless you have evidence for that? What is today known as golf has a long history here. It is considered the home of the game, because the rules and regulations were formulated here. Much as the rules and regulations of football were done in England. Which isn't the same thing as saying that the game was invented there.

In South America, one of the ancient civilisations had a cool version of the game, where someone's head was aimed through loops in the wall of a court. And by "cool" I mean for the players... not the guy who lost his head.

But anyway.
