    …. for he has spoken to the guys who actually found out the birthplace of the game. What say u Rooster :rolleyes:


    Why the rolleyes after my name?? Did I upset you? I dont remember trying to cause anyone any offence recently :D

    Anyways, I'll answer the question, seeing as I'm being asked.
    If true, it has enormous ramifications. Can you imagine golf’s ruling body in France instead of Scotland? They’d fight the USGA tooth and nail. They’d insist all rule changes pass through the United Nations.

    Thats just nonsense I'm afraid. Pure and total nonsense. Trying to make a story where none exsits. The ramifications of France being the origin of golf would be Nil. Nada. The R&A are not based in Scotland just because they might believe Scotland was the first place golf was played :rolleyes:

    No matter where it started, Scotland will always be the "home of golf", thanks mainly to the quality of its golf courses.
