In which country did golf become popular 60 years after its origins in Scotland?

Golf's roots can be traced back to Scotland in the 15th century, where the game began to evolve into the format we recognize today. By the time 60 years had passed, which would place us around the early 17th century, the game was beginning to spread beyond the Scottish borders.

Great Britain, which includes Scotland, continued to see the development and popularization of golf during this time. Additionally, as golf became more established in Scotland, it naturally influenced the surrounding regions of Great Britain. The establishment of golf clubs and the codification of rules further propelled its popularity.

While Germany, France, and Spain have rich histories in sports and leisure activities, they did not see the same level of early adoption or foundational influence in the development of golf as Great Britain did during that timeframe. Therefore, Great Britain is recognized as the country where golf became notably popular shortly after its origins in Scotland.
