What reading level is Handbook of Athletic Sports book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The term "golf," pronounced goff, is evidently derived from the German word kolbe, signifying a club, or the Dutch word kolf, of similar meaning, and implying a game which is played with club and ball. Games with club and ball are numerous, and their origin is doubtless coeval with man. i From time to time throughout the history of the world, the game of club and ball has assumed various forms.
For example, cricket is none other than such a game, as also croquet, billiards, polo, and hockey, wh...ich, by the way, is sometimes called " bandy " by the rustics in some parts of the country, especially in the eastern counties.
But so far as Britain is concerned, the origin of golf must be conceded to Scotland, where, as early as March, 1457, the game was being played with such zeal as greatly to interfere with what was deemed a more popular necessity, viz. that of training in archery. Although decrees were passed that golf "be cryit doun and nocht usit," and that "no place be used for futeball, golfe, or other sik un- profitabill spories," the people gave no heed.
