Great info resource on Titanium Hammer Hickory
The Great St Andrews by PukMinyeong
"This sandy soil has felt the tread of every great champion; it has flinched as millions of golfers down the centuries have hammered and hacked, swiped and swooshed at balls of wood, leather, gutter percha and balata; it has felt the caress of hand-crafted clubs of hickory and blackthorn and suffered the sharp assault of today's flashing blades of steel and titanium." Do you know where these sentences described? Yes, that is the home of the golf,St Andrews. It is written by the famous golf writer, historian and St Andrean, Keith Mackie. As a golfer, I knew little about the history of golf. When I read the following words, I find that the golf has a long and amazing history.

Since as early as 1691, when St Andrews was described as "the metropolis of golf", the Auld Grey Toon onScotland's east coast has been regarded as the game's spiritual home. Indeed, the very first minute of the Society of St Andrews Golfers, later to become The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, refers to the town as the 'alma mater' of golf.
As legend has it, the game has been enjoyed en masse on the links since the 12th century, when shepherds would knock stones into rabbit holes with rudimentary Golf Clubs,just like hitting the ball by Callaway diablo edge irons today. And it was reputed to be a popular pastime when theUniversity ofSt Andrews was founded in 1413.
Indeed, by 1457, the popularity of the game had reached such a level that King James II outlawed it for taking men away from their archery practice: the Act of the Scottish Parliament describing "golfe" along with "fute-ball" as "sik unprofitable sportes".
In 1552, on the proviso that Archbishop of St Andrews, John Hamilton, was able to retain possession of the rabbits on the course, the town's right to play golf on the links was officially established.
Fast-forward 200 years and the custodians of the course - later to become the Old Course - were the Society of St Andrews Golfers. They took the decision to reduce the number of holes from 22 to 18, so creating the format that would come to represent the standard course layout the world over. From then on, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, and now The R&A, has been at golf's side as it has evolved and developed into the game we know today. St Andrews, however, and its Old Course, has witnessed every single change in the game over its 600-year history. I have to say St Andrewsis great which makes us can enjoy the wholesale golf clubs.
