"Along with the wall painting comes a book, "Wan Jing," or "Manual of the Ball Game," which was published in 1282 and stands as the first known guide to a game that seems a lot like golf. Apart from various rules and regulations - "the playing surface must not be flat" - "Wan Jing" notes that certain Song and Jin dynasty emperors liked "hit ball," which moves the date back to the early 12th century."

Also apparently you forgot to mention that the Chinese invented book publishing. Did they use printing presses? Probably invented them too.

What are you going to claim they invented first next?

Oh I see, they discovered America first, except they were way behind Ericson. Perhaps if they could prove they discovered America first they can establish a claim that they own it too?
