Playing to the first hole at St. Andrews, c.1858.  Before 1870 the first green was to the left of the Swilcan Burn Bridge, the current 17th hole.  From there you teed up and played to the current 16th green, and so on.  Up until that time the course was played in this opposite direction (this "left-hand circuit"), and up to the early 20th century golfers played it both ways, which made for a different course each way.  Even today the St. Andrews Links Trust, which operates the courses at St. Andrews, offers special golf packages that include playing the Old Course "backwards."  Here we see Major Boothby playing.  Old Tom Morris is to the left, Allan Robertson on the bridge looking toward the hole.  The man to the right of Boothby is thought to be Jamie Anderson, winner of the British Open 1877-79, and on the bridge behind him his father Old Daw (David Anderson), who was once Keeper of the Green at the Old Course and caddie to Old Tom Morris.  Men holding golf clubs in their arms are caddies.
