Golf Exhibits
Welcome to ‘The Open, The University’, a celebration of The Open Championship in the University town of St Andrews. Almost all of the images within this exhibition are taken from the Special Collections Division of the University and represent a golf photography collection that ranges from 1839 to 1993. However the relationship between golf and the University dates back to the early 15th century with the University being founded in 1410 and golf being first recorded around the same time – perhaps students were among the first players of the game? St Andrews: Home of Golf and Home of Scotland’s Oldest University: ‘from first to foremost’.
