Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. What "birthplace of golf" is threatened by eroding soil causing flooding in Scotland? "

...1. Carnoustie 2. Royal County Down 3. St. Andrews Golf Club 4. Ballybunion The world famous golf course is one of many coastal areas under threat from erosion and climate change. Reports by Scottish scientists suggest the "birthplace of golf" could be submerged by water by 2050 due to coastal erosion. St. Andrews, like many other of the great old UK golf courses, is a "links" course. Links courses are so named because they are set on land, often only sand dunes reclaimed from the ocean, that "link" the water to the land. Whether caused by global warming due to human activity or a result of natural cycles, the sea levels have been rising creating higher tides and heavier winds that are eroding the dunes along the estuaries that border the course. According to greenskeepers at the course, in a single day in 1997, 10 feet of land washed into the water. St. Andrews has installed gabions on the dunes and has dumped tens of thousands of cubic feet of sand on the beach to further buffer the land. Royal County Down is a links course in Newcastle, England that is at a higher elevation and suffering less erosion. Ballybunion is in the northwest of Ireland and is also a links course. Carnoustie is a wonderful links course in a small town north of St Andrews. On a bright beautiful day in 1986 I played this course and at least for a day the only thing eroding was my handicap.
