When Golf was invented 500 years ago, how did they keep the greens and fairways mowed?


I would think that simple grass-cutting tools have been around for a long time, just as harvesting tools have. If you look at a manual push-mower that is made today, it looks simple enough to have been made a pretty long time ago.

Indulge me as I vent this notice I received:

Question Details: If I was named Aidan in 1992, and now its seems that so many people have the name Aidan, will my once unique name be overlooked?
Deleted Answer: Wow. That seems like a serious problem. Would anyone click on my question below? It’s totally buried.

    Flocks and flocks of sheep. There were no fairways. Whatever the meadows presented, that was the course which was played. If the sheep created bunkers to ward off the winds those were the traps. Never knew how they created the cup since there were no coffee cans.

    They did the same thing Wilma and Fred did to cut their grass.
    They tied a handle to a really fast grass eating (grazing) animal and walked it to wherever short grass was needed.
    I thought everyone knew that?

    A ‘cup’ for the ball to go? – A hole, maybe dug in the ground by hand?
