Chapter 1: The Haunted Fairways of St Andrews

St Andrews is the home of golf, and it's no surprise that it's also home to some of the game's most famous ghosts. The most famous of these is the Green Lady, a phantom who is said to haunt the 17th hole of the Old Course. According to legend, the Green Lady is the ghost of a woman who was murdered on the hole centuries ago. Her ghost is said to appear as a misty figure dressed in a green gown, and she is often seen walking the fairway or searching for her lost golf ball.
