"Tempat bermain golf disebut tautan, karena tanah berpasir tandus yang menjadi tempat pensiunan laut dalam zaman geologis baru-baru ini. Dalam keadaan alami, mata rantai ditutupi rumput panjang dan bengkok. Tautan terlalu tandus untuk ditanami: tetapi domba, kelinci, angsa, dan profesional mengambil mata pencaharian yang berbahaya."

--- Charles Walter Simpson

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The grounds on which golf is played are called links, being the barren sandy soil from which the sea has retired in recent geological times. In their natural state links are covered with long, rank bent grass and gorse. Links are too barren for cultivation: but sheep, rabbits, geese and professionals pick up a precarious livelihood on them.
