Ever wondered what it would be like to play golf like it was 100 years ago. Well now you can at Kingarrock, just 10 miles from St.Andrews, Scotland. The course is open in the summer months and have 9 holes specifically designed for hickory play. It is hassle free, all players are provided with five original hickory clubs, an original canvas and leather bag, together with balls and tees that represent the early 20th century golfing experience. Your “new” clubs for the day are a Spoon (3 wood), Driving Iron, Mashie (7 iron), Niblick (wedge) and Putter. The guarantee of an hour gap on the 1st tee between groups lets you experience the feeling of personal privacy. A nip of whisky or port will help get you into the spirit of the “roaring twenties” prior to teeing off while “Da Anderson” ginger beer and shortbread are the traditional refreshments after golf.

You may want to go one step further and make the effort to dress in clothes typical of the era!! Overall, a great experience that might just give you an appreciation of the skills required to play golf before technology took over.
