A wonderful day at the Kingarrock Hickory Golf with the Lindsay Golf Tour over enjoying Scottish links golf. A visit to this nine hole parkland golf course where they only play with hickory shafted golf clubs will fast become one of the venues I shall recommend to all my future golfers who come to St. Andrews.

It is a real treat from the warm welcome from Mr. David Anderson, the nip of whisky before we go out, the 'thwack' of the wooden headed 'Spoon' hitting replica golf balls from a different age and the laughter throughout the course. Truly wonderful.

Identifying My Golf Ball

June 23, 2013

I have over the years seen, in competition golf and fun bounce games, that it is really important to have a clear unique identification on your golf ball. I played in a wee competition a few weeks ago and all three golfers had one red dot marked next to the Titliest brand name! What are the chances? Boyne's identifying mark. After a wee think that evening I decided to go for a four dot two colour combination. The reasoning was that no other golfer is going to be this anal to sit for an hour and put a mark like it on his golf balls. I may need to get a life?!?

Cruden Bay Golf Club

February 24, 2009

To help entice you avid golfers out there to come over to Scotland for a golf tour this summer I will be posting some pictures of my favourite Scottish golf courses over the next few weeks. It is going to be a super golf season here in Scotland with the Open Championship returning to Turnberry in July and the majority of our major golf courses having retained last years prices. Added to this the strength of the Dollar against the British Pound, it really has never been a better time for visiting golfers to tour in Scotland. Golf tours are approximately 20% cheaper than last year! This is the unique Cruden Bay located just north of Aberdeen on the east coast of Scotland. An astonishing links golf course that one will find hard to prepare for in a golfing sense...in fact nothing can prepare you for Cruden Bay! A one off. The view from the clubhouse over the Starters Hut to the magnificent links. It is a truly splendid links golf course with a tremendous location 20 or so miles north of...
