The Golf House Club, Elie established in 1875, is a historic members golf club located in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Members have playing rights over Elie Links, a UK Top 100 Golf Course.
Approximately ten miles from the "spiritual home of golf" at St. Andrews, golf has been played over the links of Elie since the 1500s.
The clubhouse of the GHC is situated directly adjacent to the first tee.
The current course, a par 70 6251-yard course,[1] was largely designed by Old Tom Morris and James Braid in 1895.[2][3]
The current club, the Golf House Club, was founded in 1875 with the building of the clubhouse. An extension, the work of John Currie, was added in 1907.[4] An unusual feature is the periscope from the Royal Navy submarine HMS Excalibur,[3] that was launched in 1955 and scrapped in 1968. The periscope is installed in the starter's hut; players and visitors may use it to view the golf course.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
