Golf in AngliiS origin of golf is a legend about how an ordinary shepherd, wandering through the coastal dunes, having nothing to do with a stick to hit a round stone and accidentally rolled him down the rabbit hole. Then he was joined by friends who liked the new fun. Later, the stones were replaced by balls, rabbit holes - hole, but instead sticks adapted putter. The title of the home of golf, as is often the case, claimed by many countries. Nevertheless, the birthplace of the classical course is considered a small Scottish town of St Andrews, named after the city's patron saint, St. Andrew, whose tomb is in a dilapidated cathedral, which was built nearly six centuries ago.
