King James VI/I, Early Golf in England and the Blackheath Golf Myth
View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses evidence that golf was introduced to England by the Scottish courtiers who accompanied King James VI of Scotland to London in 1603, following the Union of the Crowns and at the time of his accession to the English throne as James I. Evidence is presented of Henry, Prince of Wales playing golf in England (c. 1606) and of golf being played at Royston in 1624. In addition, the frequent claims that a golf club was established at Blackheath in 1608 are reassessed.
