    Hi all you golfers,
    
                      Does any one out there have any info on the
    the History of St Andrews.

    related subject.

    This is kind of vague, but there was a "coffee table" pictorial/text
    type of book published in the last year or so which specifically
    addresses The Old Course at St. Andrews. The Golf Shop in the financial
    district of Boston may have it. Also, you could contact "The Classics
    of Golf" in Norwalk, Ct. I know Herbert Warren Wind did an article in
    one of his books on Bobby Jones return to St. Andrews which had a lot
    of data. If you looked up Old Tom Morris, Young Tom Morris, Alan
    Robertson and perhaps Laurie Auchterlonie you'd getmore info. Robert
    Browning's "The History of Golf" from the Classics of Golf publishers
    is sure to have material on St. Andrews. As a last resort, you could
    contact The Royal and Ancient golf Headquarters in St. Andrews.

    Nevada Bobs had some books which included some golf history.  Royal
    Bookstores and Barnes and Noble would have something, I am sure.
