St. Andrews Link Course History
Based in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, Lawrence M. Koresko is the president of Insmax Insurance Brokerage, Inc., where he has been since 2014. In his free time, Larry Koresko enjoys golfing and has played at several famous courses, including St. Andrews Links in Scotland.
St. Andrews Links is one of the world’s most famous golf courses, and its Old Course is considered the home of golf. The game was first played on the course around 1400 AD. Over the next six centuries, that one course turned into seven, and the original course went from 22 holes to 18. Despite the longevity of the sport, golf was banned in 1457 by King James II of Scotland, who thought that young men needed to focus on archery. The ban continued for several decades until 1502 when King James IV took up the sport himself.
The course has seen financial hardships over the years, including bankruptcy, but today the course thrives. The seventh course, the Castle Course, was opened in 2008 due to increasing demand.
