Autumn Golf
Golfing with the changing fall foliage can
be one of the most tranquil and frustrating times of year - even well
placed fairway balls can be lost under a carpet of freshly fallen
leaves. If you're
an artist or photographer whose portfolio contains fall golf art,

However modern golf is
considered to be a Scottish invention., as the game was mentioned in two
15th-century laws prohibiting the playing of the game of gowf. The word
golf derives from the Dutch kolf meaning stick, club or bat. The oldest
playing golf course in the world is The Old Links at Musselburgh
Racecourse. Evidence has shown that golf was played on Musselburgh Links
in 1672 although Mary, Queen of Scots reputedly played there in 1567.

Golf courses have not always had eighteen holes. The St
Andrews Links occupy a narrow strip of land along the sea. As early as the
15th century, golfers at St Andrews, in Fife, established a customary
route through the undulating terrain, playing to holes whose locations
were dictated by topography. The course that emerged featured eleven
holes, laid out end to end from the clubhouse to the far end of the
property. One played the holes out, turned around, and played the holes
in, for a total of 22 holes. In 1764, several of the holes were deemed too
short, and were therefore combined. The number was thereby reduced from 11
to nine, so that a complete round of the links comprised 18 holes.
