Numerous myths and misconceptions have become entrenched in the popular history of golf. In this book, Neil Millar challenges these myths and revisits the evidence surrounding the sport’s early history. He shows how the game blossomed in Scotland in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and describes the role of Scottish golfers in its spread to other countries between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. And he examines the relative antiquity of golf compared with that of other early stick-and-ball games – a topic that has been debated extensively.


Golf historians frequently retell anecdotes concerning historical figures such as King James II of Scotland (1430-1460), Queen Catherine of Aragon (1484-1536), Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1587), King Charles I (1600-1649) and James, Duke of York (1633-1701). This book re-examines the evidence underpinning these claims to provide a reliable account of early golf history.
