  • 2012Traditions of Golf Challenge Study Guide
    2012Traditions of Golf Challenge Study Guide HISTORY SECTION PRE - 20th Century “When did the game of golf start?” Golf originated in the 15th century in Scotland. Mary, Queen of Scots introduced the word “caddie” to the game. While playing golf, she was accompanied by a club-carrying young boy whom she called the “cadet”, or “caddie.” Players would hit a pebble around a natural course of sand dunes, rabbit runs and tracks using a stick or primitive club. “How were golf balls developed?” The first real golf ball was known as the “feathery”. The feathery was a leather sack filled by hand with boiled goose feathers, and stitched up and painted. The feathery golf ball period may have started as early as the 1400’s and ended in the early 1850’s. The arrival of the gutta percha ball in 1848 or “guttie”, as it was called, revolutionized the game and allowed golf’s spread to the masses. The guttie was made from rubber, which could be heated, and formulated into a ball. The next revolution in ball design came around 1905 with the patented "Haskell" ball, which is a composite of a solid core wound with thin strips of rubber. Some modern balls (the expensive ones) are made this way today. This ball performed much better than the gutty and could be made cheaply compared to earlier balls. In 1972 the first two-piece ball was introduced by Spalding. These are more popular with amateurs, as they are more durable and considered to be longer and straighter. Many professionals are still devoted to the softer covered balls, since they prefer the added spin for control as opposed to distance.

  • The St Andrews Golf Club Founder Members
    The St Andrews Golf Club Founder Members Researched and written by Keith McCartney © Keith McCartney 2020 The first Minute of The St Andrews Golf Club recorded that “At St Andrews the 29th September 1843 a number of young men met to consider what steps should be taken to form themselves into a Society when it was proposed and agreed to that this Society should be instituted on this day and be called the St Andrews Mechanics’ Golf Club when it was proposed by A. Carstairs, cabinet maker, and seconded and unanimously agreed to that D. Todd, jun., painter, should be made Captain of the Club for the first year.” In the Club’s centenary history, published in 1946, A. J. Bennett listed the names of our eleven founder members. They were – William Ayton, cabinet maker; Alexander Carstairs, cabinet maker; Alexander Bruce, cabinet maker; James Herd, mason; John Keddie, joiner; John Lynn, tailor; Adam McPherson, plasterer; James McPherson, dancing master; George Morris, butler; Robert Paterson, slater, and David Todd, Junior,painter. William Ayton (Cabinet Maker) William Ayton was born at Newburgh, Fife, in 1788, the son of William Ayton, who was a sailor, and his wife Jean Scott. He married Elspeth Watson in 1817 at Dunino and died on 31st December 1863 at his home in Market Street, St Andrews when his occupation was recorded as joiner. William served as Captain of the Club in 1846. His son William Ayton, jun., born in 1820, was to Captain the Club a record number of times – 1871 to 1880, 1885, 1890 and 1893 and was the winner of the Cross Clubs when it was first put up for competition on 24th June 1850.
