North Berwick Golf Weekend

View from Marine Hotel across North Berwick West Links. 

Our three golfing couples, collectively known as The Oystercatchers, took advantage of the mild February weather here in Scotland and golfed in North Berwick last weekend at The Glen GC and the famous West Links with an overnight stay at MacDonald Marine Hotel.

The prizes being played for were Best Female Golfer, Best Male Golfer, and Champion Couple using the Stableford points system. The obligatory longest drive and nearest the pin (or nearest the green!) were also included when golfing North Berwick West Links.

The West Links is a firm favourite of Caddie Golf Tours and remains in our personal top 5 links courses here in Scotland. A joy to golf it has long been used as Final Qualifying when The Open is played at Muirfield GC just up the road.

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?!?

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...
