描述
Join historian and former 80s caddie Richard Falconer on a walking tour around part of the famed Old Course. Learn how the game we know and love developed through the evolution of the Old Course.
A fluent command of English is essential for these tours. Speaking slowly or translating does not work. Not suitable for under 2s.
On this information-packed tour with author, historian, and 1980s Old Course Caddie Richard Falconer, you will learn how the evolution of the Old Course developed significant elements of the game we know and love, making St Andrews the Home of Golf.
Dispelling the myths, the tour unfolds as a detective story piecing together the development of the game we know and love. Richard opens the tour with important St Andrews history that inadvertently sees the arrival of a European stick and ball game in the 13th century. As that developed across Scotland, a golfing landmark in 18th century Edinburgh resulted in St Andrews being the beneficiary of rules they would develop and make their own.
As many golfing aspects unfold, the tour takes in the 18th green, the 1st tee with the Royal and Ancient Clubhouse as the backdrop, the 1st and 18th fairways, and Road hole memories with a photo shoot on the Swilkan Bridge to finish (excludes tournament days). You can then enjoy refreshments overlooking the 17th fairway (not included) at the famed Old Course Jigger Inn.
Richards Tours are endorsed by Rick Steves and famed St Andrews Golf Historian and legend David Joy.
