In 1999, his script for the documentary The Story of Golf was nominated for an Emmy Award. The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world. It is a private members-only club based in St Andrews in Scotland. It was previously known colloquially as "The R & A", but in 2004, a new organization known as The R & A was spun off, assuming the club's functions as one of the governing authorities of the game and organizer of tournaments such as The Open Championship. Despite this legal separation, one of the club's objectives remains to contribute, through its members, to the governance, championship organization, and golf development roles now carried out by The R & A. The organization was founded in 1754 as the Society of St Andrews Golfers, a local golf club playing at St Andrews Links. The club quickly grew in importance. In 1834, King William IV recognized St Andrews as Royal and Ancient and The Royal Society of St Andrews Golfers grandly proclaimed it the Home of Golf. Later it was referred to as The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. [5] In 1897, the Society codified the rules of golf. Gradually over the next 30 years, it was invited to take control of the running of golf tournaments at other courses. The former editor-in-chief of Golf magazine and author of The Secret of Golf shares his experiences of retiring to a house alongside the venerable Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland, on a personal journey during which his wife renovated their new seven-room home and he pursued a goal of breaking par.
