## Description

Scottish Golf History is an independent historical resource dedicated to documenting the origins and development of golf in Scotland. Through its Vade Mecum, the site guides readers through evidence and stories about where early “gowff” was played, who played it, and how the game evolved. Its coverage includes the origin of golf terms, the earliest golf sites and golfers, the oldest golf societies and courses, the first 18-hole courses, and early women’s golf. The site also provides references, useful links, background material, acknowledgements, and news articles, including research into historical golf records and continuing golf rivalries. Visitors can explore notable locations such as Bruntsfield Links, identified as the site of the first golf clubhouse and oldest golf pub. Scottish Golf History is self-funded and invites donations to help cover its annual costs. The website is associated with Neil Laird, who welcomes contact by email, and is copyrighted by Golfiana Limited, registered in Scotland.
