I think this is something to do with Psychology. It's a feeling of Euphoria, same as when you won a gamble, or consume drug. It produces a kind of chemical in your brain once you hit a good shot, that you want to experience it again and again. And because hitting good shot, like a hole in one is difficult to achieve, golf then become addictive.

Which came first, the birdie or the eagle? The birdie, and the eagle followed and continued the feathered theme.\n\nIn American slang of the 19th Century, the term "bird" was applied to anything particularly great. "Bird" was the "cool" of the 1800s in the U.S.\n\nSo on the golf course, a great shot - one that led to an under-par score - came to be known as a "bird," which was then transformed into "birdie." The term birdie was in worldwide use by the 1910s, and it's believed it debuted in the U.S. in 1899.\n\nAn "eagle" simply followed "birdie," being added to the lexicon in keeping with the avian image of birdie. And "albatross" later came along for the same reason.\n\nSource: USGA Museum

In common with others, the Historical Dictionary of Golfing Terms (1993) believes that "Birdie" comes from the 19th century American slang term "bird", meaning anything excellent.\n"Eagle" is the extension of the theme of birds for good scores from a "Birdie". A score of two under Par is, in some ways, a 'big birdie' and an Eagle is a big bird.\nThree under Par is a very rare score and an Albatross is a very rare bird, and now three under Par is generally referred to an "Albatross".

Scotland...\n\nNobody knows exactly how golf started but most scholars say that the\ngame of golf was from club in German or Dutch, “Kolbe” or “Kolf” and\ngolf started from a man hitting stones with stick instinctively in\nancient days.\n  \nW.G.Simpson explained the origin that golf began by a shepherd on a\nsheep pasture in Fifeshire, which became the Royal and Ancient Golf\nClub of St. Andrews. One day a man was playing with a small stone\nhitting by a stick as usual but then the stone fell into a rabbit hole\nby chance. When he was trying to put a stone in a hole again, his\nfriends saw it and joined together.\n   \nIt also can be said that golf started among the ancient Romans. This\ngame was played with a bent stick and a leather ball filled with\nfeathers. The Roman army conquered Europe bringing the sport them and\ngolf was spread over the European countries.\n  \nThere is another suggestion that “Koven”, a Dutch game, is the origin\nof golf. The game consisted of people trying to hit a stick with a\nminimum of strokes using a ball which was the same size as a\ngrapefruit. 200 years later, golf was established in Scotland.\n  \nMoreover, another opinion is that golf came from the Flemish game of\n“Chole” played in 1353. This game was played by two players hitting\nthe same ball three times each using a stick to reach the far goal.\n  \nThese games are similar to recent golf but not exactly the same. It is\nsure that golf naturally results from such sports as these. Records\nsay that a kind of golf was played in Scotland in the 15th century,\nand it was developed by Scots.
