Early Golf in Scotland The modern game of golf we understand today is generally considered to be a Scottish invention. A spokesman for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest Scottish golf organisations, said "Stick and ball games have been around for many centuries, but golf as we know it today, played over 18 holes, clearly originated in Scotland." The word golf, or in Scots language gouf, is usually thought to be a Scots alteration of Dutch "colf" or "colve" meaning "stick, "club", "bat", itself related to the Proto-Germanic language *kulth- as found in Old Norse kolfr meaning "bell clapper", and the German Kolben meaning "mace or club".The Dutch term Kolven refers to a related sport.

    Royal Montrose Golf Club It is widely believed the game of golf evolved on the lands, between the sea and the more fertile hinterland, known as the Links. The East coast of Scotland was ideally suited to this development, and uniquely there are many towns and cities along the length of the east coast of Scotland who have links courses, upon which multiple golf clubs play, such as Aberdeen, Montrose, Arbroath, Carnoustie, Monifieth, St Andrews, and Leven etc. Within these towns and cities many golf clubs were formed as a result of the many trades being plied, such as the Mechanics, the Weavers Club, the Flex dressers Club, the Half Holiday Club, etc. Over the years, as a result of amalgamations, these clubs have been reduced to the three clubs which exist in Montrose today of; The Royal Montrose, the Mercantile and the Caledonia Golf Clubs. Golf was first recorded in Montrose in 1562 when six year old schoolboy James Melville recorded in his diary that “Our maister war teached to handle the bow for archerie, the glub for goff….A happy and golden tyme indeid”, making Montrose the 5th oldest golf course in the world In 1628 the famous Marquis of Montrose became the first golfer to engage a caddie, paying him four shillings, and in 1629 the Marquis spent his honeymoon in Montrose playing golf. Over the years many battles unfolded between the golfers, and the local Town Council over the links lands, as the council wished to use the land for housing and leasing to farmers, in order to gain more income.

The name of the first club, formed in 1891, is shown as Bonawe in the Annuals, but newspaper items four or five Argyllshire, Acharacle years later covering its activities have it as Bonaw. The second club, whose course was opened in 1905, named as Bunawe and also, in newspapers, as Bonawe, but it appears to have lasted only a year as Campbelltown Hillside another course was opened in 1906.
