Description

In this episode, we explore the rise of private golf clubs in 18th-century Scotland during a tumultuous time in British history. We trace the origins of these societies, from the Royal Burgess Golfing Society and the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, to the formation of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. These early clubs, influenced by Freemasonry, navigated political tensions and fostered a sense of unity and tradition among their elite members. Join us as we uncover how these societies shaped the world of golf and left a lasting legacy on Scottish and American history.
