2014 Scottish Links Golf Tour - Real Golf

This is one super golf tour of Scotland that, if we may suggest, is only to be recommended to seriously fit golfers who are well and truly prepared to play x11 rounds (at least) of Championship golf over nine days.

Carnoustie Championship, Par4 2nd 'Gulley'
The Chicago Boys are one such dedicated group with six having low single handicap figures and the remaining members made up of solid mid handicap enthusiasts. During their last tour they played x12 rounds in seven days! It should be remembered that these golf courses regard themselves as walking courses, no carts, therefore a decent level of fitness will be required to undertake a tour such as this. 

The golfers are staying in a mix of 4 and 5 Star accommodation which will certainly help caress their bodies after a day spent out on our Championship Links. Travel is by luxury coach. At the time of writing there is only five months until the first golf ball is struck at the magnificent Kingsbarns Golf Links and the excitement begins.  

If you would like Caddie Golf Tours to arrange your trip to play our historic golf courses in 2014/2015 or more information about this golf tour please drop me a message with your inquiry.

Cruden Bay Golf Club

Image
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

Identifying My Golf Ball

Image
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?!?
