<dc:description>The Royal and Ancient Clubhouse is a historic building located in St Andrews that serves as the headquarters of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&amp;A). The foundation stone for the building was laid on the 13th of July 1853 by R&amp;A member John Whyte Melville, and the building was completed 11 months later in 1854. The clubhouse overlooks the 1st tee and the 18th green of the iconic Old Course at St Andrews. The famous balcony near the top of the building is the site of the infamous past Open Champions gathering event that occurs when the Open Championship is hosted by St Andrews. For many years, the R&amp;A clubhouse has been an iconic structure for the game of golf and it will continue to be revered by golfers for many years to come.</dc:description>
