One of the biggest mysteries surrounding golf is how it first began. The R&A World Golf Museum at St. Andrews, Scotland was established in 1990 to ensure the preservation of golf’s heritage and the Museum continues to celebrate the past, present and future of the game.
The museum’s Learning & Access Curator, Hannah Fleming, has kindly agreed to a bespoke webinar for MITAGA. This webinar from February 5, 2025, will explore the development of golf through the collections of the Museum and The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, St Andrews - alongside other material cared for by the curators. By examining clubs and balls, archives, costume, trophies and photography, we will discover the stories of pioneering and legendary figures in both the men and women’s game and discuss the elements that have made golf so appealing to its millions of devotees for 600 years.

“Indigenous philosophies, and Dakota philosophy in particular, [are] not well known or understood. And so, when I have the opportunity to talk to people about it through my artwork, I see that light bulb come on,” says multimedia artist Erin Genia SM ’19, who is Dakota, an enrolled member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate. “It’s wonderful to have those interactions and to be able to really connect.”
A performance artist, painter, and sculptor, Genia also embraces traditional Dakota art forms, such as beadwork and the carving of sacred stone (pipestone). Whatever the media, Genia works to address social issues such as climate change and institutional racism.
