A late 19th century view of crowds on the golfing links at St Andrews, a town on the east coast of Fife in Scotland. Founded in 1754, as the Society of St Andrews Golfers, a local golf club playing at St Andrews Links, it quickly grew in importance. In 1834, King William IV recognized St Andrews as Royal and Ancient and The Royal Society of St Andrews Golfers proclaimed it the Home of Golf. Later it was referred to as The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews; the Society codified the rules of golf in 1897, and gradually took control of the running of golf tournaments at other courses.
