Challenge the origins of golf and you are treading on sacred Scottish turf. The Cradle of Golf?
At the website scottishgolfhistory.org the site states it plainly in this soliloquy: “Being the proof as to why golf is definitely, certainly, unquestionably, without doubt, beyond question, indubitably, undeniably, irrefutably, incontrovertibly, incontestably, unmistakably, categorically, decidedly, unequivocally Scottish. Really.”
Darn. They take this subject more seriously than the taste profile of a dram of single malt.
So I offer this side note to the illustration, the golf club was indubitably, undeniably, irrefutably, incontrovertibly, incontestably, unmistakably, categorically, decidedly, unequivocally planted by an English archaeologist.
I still expect to get a nasty email from Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland. Cradle of Golf.
