Golf reference in Scotland dates to 1638 poem
A 1638 edition of The Muses Thre nodie by Henry Adamson shows the first literary reference to golf in Scotland. Other oddities include a Urshatz goat milking mystery with snakes, and a pink-drenched man in London. The firemen found no water at a Brittany farm blaze, and Britain maps mark airship bases for pilots. A weeping Milton tree in Massachusetts sheds real tears due to root canker.
