St. Andrews Clubhouse HIstory  
     

One of the most stirring sights in golf is that of the ancient buildings and spires of the town of St Andrews, standing guard over the most famous stretch of golf links in the world--for here lies the cradle of the game--its historical home--the Mecca to which every golfer aspires to make a pilgrimage at least once during his life.
