Today in History
1754:
Golf was formalised at St Andrews with the foundation of the St Andrews Society of Golfers. Twenty-two ‘Noblemen and Gentlemen’ contributed to a silver club to be played for annually over the Links of St Andrews. The first winner was Baillie William Landale, a St Andrews merchant, who became Captain for the year.

BRUNTSFIELD SHORT
HOLE GOLF COURSE
This unique Short Hole Course (36 holes) is over 100 years old and covers part of arguably the oldest golfing links in the world where golf was played during the 1400's. Prior to the 'short game', Bruntsfield Links was a 6 hole golf course until around 1890.
The course is maintained by the City of Edinburgh Council whose part-time greenkeeper is aided by a few volunteer Club members, who are keen to preserve this historic course in the best possible condition for the enjoyment of the local community and visitors to the City.
