EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and storied history of St Andrews, the Home of Golf, as it appeared around 1920. The image showcases the iconic panorama of the Old Course, with its first tee box situated prominently at the forefront. The Royal and Ancient Golf Clubhouse, a historic landmark and the governing body of the sport since 1754, stands proudly in the background. Beyond the golf course, the West Sands beach and the tranquil North Sea stretch out to the horizon, creating a breathtaking contrast of greens, blues, and sand. The expansive beach, famous for its role in the opening scene of the 1981 film "Chariots of Fire," has long been a popular destination for both golfers and tourists alike. The Old Course at St Andrews, established in the late 15th century, is the oldest golf course in the world and has played host to numerous prestigious tournaments, including the Open Championship, which was first held here in 1873. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of St Andrews and its rich golfing heritage, transporting us back in time to an era of classic golf and scenic beauty.
