Women’s golf hardly began with the founding of the LPGA. In the 1500s, Mary Queen of Scots, known for her red hair and fierce disposition, kept a summer cottage in St Andrews and was such an avid player that she was dubbed “The Mother of Golf.” She is credited with inventing the word “caddie,” which was a carryover from the French “cadét,” young military trainees who carried her highness’s clubs as she was learning the game.
