Scotland is known as the home of golf, with St Andrews Golf Links acting as a venue for the sport since the 1400s. The Links are now home to six different courses, including the Old Course and the Par 30 Balgove Course, and could be said to be the most respected club on the planet. The course originally consisted of 22 holes, which was reduced to the standard 18 in 1764 by lengthening three of them. Golfers originally teed off of handfuls of sand retrieved from the hole before, clubs were wooden and the balls were stuffed with feathers.
