antiquity of the game lin Scotland), for
1t is in decree or act of the Scottish
parliament, which ordains that "golfe
be utterly cryit down and nocht usit,"
and that arcnery was to be practiced in
stead. This does not appear to have had
the desired effect, and in 1471 another
similar act was passed. Neither was
any attention paid to the latter edict,
and this led, in 1901, to final and evil

be pursued instead, "under the paine of
fourtie shillinges. About century
later the game appears on the surface of
history again, and always as favorite

known in Scotland as "the royal and
ancient game of golf " There was am.
