Having been a student at St. Andrews and spent many rounds on the links, I can honestly say that kilts were not common on the courses. (Students were able to purchase a pass good for golfing the entire year for $80 on any of the courses. All you had to do was show you pass and student id and you were clear to tee off.) Kilts were worn around town for other events and always at formals. As mentioned in previous posts, the wind can be overwhelming and kilts we not overly practical for golf. With this being said, there was one golf tournament sponsored by the rugby club in which all golfers were kilted. The only other stipulation was that each golfer must also consume a bottle of port during the round. Needless to say there were prizes for the lowest ang highest scores. It was an interesting event, and fundraiser, to say the least!
