Museum Trip a Perfect Distraction After Dawn Deluge
ST ANDREWS, Scotland — The 1914 Dunlop V Floating Golf Ball perched in a display case inside the British Golf Museum would have come in handy at St Andrews after Friday's dawn deluge.
Although the old 'hairies' or 'featheries', the balls once used by Scotland's royals in the 1600s, might have become a little soggy on the famous Old Course links, dubbed the home of golf.
The evolution of the golf ball was just one fascinating distraction in the museum located a sand-wedge away from the 18th green where the 144th British Open will be won on Sunday.
