The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world. Located in the town of St Andrews in Fife in Scotland, and is known as "Home of Golf". [1] Until recently, it was also regarded as one of the sport's governing authorities, but in 2004 this became part played by the newly created The R & A. The organization was created in 1754 as the Society of St. Andrews Golfers, a local golf club playing in the field of St Andrews, and gradually grew in importance. In 1834, King William IV became its patron and the club became known under its current name. In 1897 the Society established the basic rules of golf as they are known today and in the next 30 years the organization took control of other tournaments in other fields. The R & A is the highest authority of golf in the world except the United States and Mexico where this responsibility lies with the United States Golf Association (USGA). This body, created in 2004, works with organizations of professional golfers and amateurs from more than 110 countries. Also intended to introduce the game of golf in new countries is not known. The R & A cooperates with the USGA in the review of the rules of golf, in addition to developing technical specifications for golfing equipment. The Amateur Championship was one of the four major championships before the professional game became, and remains one of the most prestigious amateur tournaments in the world. Walker Cup, the biennial tournament's amateur team that pits players from the UK & Ireland and the United States (organized jointly with the United States Golf Association).
