Mary, Queen of Scots, was a golfer. She was the first known female golfer. She commissioned the first golf course in Scotland. And...she was beheaded for golfing. More or less. One of the reasons she was assumed guilty of aiding in her husband's murder, and was subsequently deposed and imprisoned, was a rumor that she went golfing two days after his death.
Mary, Queen of Golf original painting, prints, and merch available in shop or through RedBubble or Fine Art America.
