Scotland Sports & Outdoors Tips by tvor

The modern rules of Golf were purportedly invented in Scotland. It's for certain the game or a version of it has been played there since early Tudor times in the 15th century. There are many many golf courses in Scotland including several in the St. Andrews area where the origin of the sport is supposed to be. The Old Course in St. Andrews is right on the sea beside a wide expanse of beach, not far from cliffs that fall away from the university, castle and cathedral ruins. You can rent a putter and play on the small putting green there if you can't afford the greens fees which i am told are quite high! There's an old clubhouse and a shop where you can at least buy souvenirs to prove you have trod on the golfing "Holy Ground"
