Surely you will sound the name of the small town of St Andrews, Scotland, and will not be for its historic cathedral, which once was the largest in Scotland, and of which there are only a beautiful ruin. Possibly for its famous golf course, which for those who've ever seen, for the moment, only on television, I moved the image of its spectacular meadows along the coast, usually hit by a strong wind. It is precisely this very special beautiful setting by the sea, with large areas of dunes and green fields, one of the reasons why St Andrews centuries ago earned a reputation as an ideal tourist destination for golf. It is known that in 1400 and began playing golf in the meadows of St Andrews, the first in the world where there are historical references is practical. And a good example of this activity was that in 1457 became so popular that King James II of Scotland banned the practice for soldiers to not be distracted with the game. Subsequently, in 1754 was the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, which at present is what continues to organize the famous British Open tournament. The golf courses of St Andrews are just at the entrance to the north of the town. In the area of dunes and grassland located by the sea now extends seven golf courses, all of which are managed by St Andrews Links, a charitable organization. As a result, although the most famous and oldest golf courses of St Andrews, known as the Old Course, begins near the landmark clubhouse of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, no membership is required the same to play in this field. Reflecting this activity golfing in St Andrews can also visit the British Golf Museum, where you can learn the history of golf since the Middle Ages to the present, both in Britain and the rest of the world. The British Golf Museum is open to the public from 9:30 until 17:30 in summer and from 10 to 14 hours in winter. The ticket price is 5.5 pounds (5.6 euros) for adults.

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).
