St Andrews Photograph by Tony Roberts
The Old Course at St Andrews, also known as the Old Lady or the Grand Old Lady, is considered the oldest golf course in the world. It is a public course over common land in St Andrews, Scotland, and is held in trust by the St Andrews Links Trust under an act of Parliament.
The Old Course at St Andrews is considered by many to be the "home of golf" because the sport was first played on the links at St Andrews in the early 15th century. Golf was becoming increasingly popular in Scotland until James II of Scotland banned the game in 1457 because he felt that young men were playing too much golf instead of practicing their archery. The ban was upheld by James III, and remained in force until 1502, when James IV became a golfer himself and removed the ban.
This beautiful and vibrant unframed image of The Old Course was shot by premier landscape photographer Tony Roberts and he has autographed the image.
