Presumably it's golf played on a links course, which is one by the sea-side. Jul 17 03, 11:39 AM

Links refers to the linksland between the sea and farmland. It was usually sand, loose soil with no trees, only small scrubs and bushes. The land was useless but perfect for early golf courses. A links style course has no trees and is usually hilly and sandy. Jim Feb 12 07, 6:05 PM

I'll second that. On a golf links the term 'rough' really means rough. It's creeping willow rather than slightly less manicured grass. (I live within two miles of three championship standard golf links type courses... and used to play one of them in younger days.) Feb 13 07, 5:13 AM
