Celebrate St Andrews Week with a visit to the British Golf Museum - 28th Nov 2005

As part of the St Andrews Festival Week celebrations, the British Golf Museum is admitting all visitors free of charge between Thursday 24th November and Sunday 4th December.

Everyone is welcome to take advantage of this opportunity to discover the history of golf, from its origins in the Middle Ages to the celebrations surrounding the 250th Anniversary of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and The Open Championship played at St Andrews in 2005.

There is something for anyone interested in local history or the history of golf and its development over the past 500 years. Visitors will be able to enjoy watching rare black and white footage dating back to 1904 and to go interactive by selecting their favourite Open Championship footage highlights from 1926 until the present day or even to test their knowledge on The Rules of Golf. Dressing up in period golf costume is all part of the experience as is the chance to practise putting skills with replica clubs and balls from the last 175 years.

The museum is open from 10 am to 4 pm daily and a visit will make the perfect break from playing golf.
