In 1457, King James II of Scotland banned a sport. What sport was it and why did he do this?

Golf, if I remember correctly. It seems the wee laddies were not keeping tha' bows and arrows up. National defence and all that.

Aye, Laddie, tis true tis true.

Golf was banned in Scotland in 1457 by King James II who felt it was distracting young men from archery practice. This ban was repeated by succeeding monarchs until James IV in 1502.
