British golf was first played over links or “green fields.” The earliest of them were sited at points up and down the eastern seaboard of Scotland, of which Dornoch, Montrose, Barry, Scotscraig, St. Andrews, Elie, Leven, Musselburgh, North Berwick, and Dunbar were, and Dornoch, Barry (Carnoustie) and North Berwick are typical. Nature was their architect, and beast and man her contractors. GUY CAMPBELL
