St Andrews Old Golf Course, Scotland

Scotland golf course St Andrews Old.

The Old Course of St Andrews, where golf has been played since 1552 and possibly earlier, is the most famous golf course in the world and yet many of the famous golfers who later sing its praises have been reluctant to admire it at first sight.

The great Bobby Jones wrote that when he first played at St Andrews he felt only a puzzled dislike, but nine years later he said that if he had to select.

one course on which to play the match of his life it would be St Andrews. The most famous hole is the 17th, the "Road Hole", which has seen the downfall of many a would-be champion, while the 13th has been called the greatest single hole in golf. It takes time to appreciate the subtleties of the Old Course, but a round there is played in the company of the spirits of the golfing immortals.
