Which Scottish town is renowned as the home of golf?

Okay, let's talk about golf and Scotland! Golf has a long and fascinating history, and its roots are firmly planted in Scotland. While many places in Scotland offer fantastic golf courses, one town stands out as the undisputed "home of golf": St Andrews. The game has been played on the links at St Andrews since the 15th century – we're talking the 1400s! The Old Course at St Andrews is considered the oldest golf course in the world, and it's where the rules of the game were largely standardized. The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, founded in 1754, is one of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs and was, until recently, also the governing body of golf worldwide. So, while Inverness, Glasgow, and Edinburgh are all important Scottish cities, none of them hold the same historical significance for the sport of golf as St Andrews does. If you're ever in Scotland and a golf enthusiast, a pilgrimage to St Andrews is a must!
