At one stage, the West, discovering to its dismay that underground tests could be concealed from seismographs by exploding the bombs in caves, reversed itself and refused to include small subterranean explosions in the treaty until better detection systems were developed...

Cameramen swarmed over roughs and fairways, technicians and officials thronged the greens, and close to 5,000 Scots followed the proceedings with alternating amusement and dismay.
