Turnberry Ailsa Course, Scotland

Image
A fantastic couple of days at Turnberry for our 8 New York golfers, The Bamundo Party, who golfed the Ailsa Championship and up the road at Royal Troon Golf Course. Turnberry Hotel, Ayrshire, Scotland The sun shone and the legendary Open venue of the Ailsa Championship course played and looked absolutely beautiful. This is truly one of Scotland's greatest links golf courses and should not be left off any visiting golf party's itinerary. 18th green Ailsa Championship Course, Turnberry Putting out on 18th Ailsa Championship, Turnberry The recent sale of the Turnberry Resort to the American Donald Trump will see some alterations to the actual hotel rather than any major changes to the golf course and I am sure the R&A will be heavily involved if any are planned.

The Art of Golf.

I received an invitation in the post this morning to a private viewing of Scotland's national sport "The Art of Golf". The exhibition is being held at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh on the 10th July which coincides with the first days golf at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club of the Scottish Open. I think we will make the wee trip to Edinburgh an overnight stay and include some good food, a glass of wine or two and some art. Excellent.
