Ive been wanting to learn how to play golf but it seems very difficult. Do you know much about the sport?
I play golf every day!  In fact, I just got back from the golf course!  Golf originated in 15th century Scotland, which I find interesting!
I dont know why but I always pictured it being from North America. Are there a lot of rules to know?
Ideally you want to use a golf club and ball and hit the ball into various holes with as few strokes as possible
So it sounds like in golf I would want the lowest score as I can get. Are there different clubs for different situations?
Yes, there are several different kinds of clubs - and typically a round of golf is 18 holes, though you can just play 9 holes if you want.
18 holes of golf seem like a lot. Maybe Ill go to the golf range to see if I enjoy it. 
That's probably a good idea - you could try miniature golf to practice putting
