The Battle of Greenfields is a fictional Middle-earth battle fought in the year 2747 T.A. at the Shire's Northfarthing. A band of Orcs, led by Chief Golfimbul, was confronted by Bullroarer Took. Golfimbul was killed and the Orcs were defeated. According to legend, Bullroarer decapitated the orc chieftain with one swing of his club; Golfimbul's head rolled down a rabbit hole, and thus the game of golf was invented. This event preceded the War of the Ring.
