2020 Golf Tours rescheduled to 2021

Over the last couple of months of this horrendous Coronavirus Covid-19 and its sudden impact on the world, and in our case golf in particular, Caddie Golf Tours have been in constant communication with our golfers, home and overseas, about the various scenarios this will have on their 2020 Scotland Golf Tours.

Carnoustie Championship 18th

With the British government placing the whole country in a 'lockdown' on 24th March, the most disruptive for all would be to cancel and return money deposited or even fully paid. All terms and conditions about cancellation fees written into our contracts have been revisited and revised due to the horrendous nature of this virus.

Kingsbarns Golf Links 12th tee

The overriding thought has been to reschedule the golf tours to a later date. The difficulty doing it for later this year in 2020, is no one knows when the 'lockdown' will be lifted, our golf courses and accommodation opened and even if international travel would be fully up and running. There are too many variables.

Old Course St Andrews 18th green

The simplest route that we have reached has been to move each of our Scotland golf tours forward to next year 2021. When this was communicated to our golfers thankfully all but one of our groups accepted this as a solution and the new dates chosen in 2021 are close enough to those they would have had this year.

Turnberry Ailsa Course

We have had fantastic assistance from all the companies involved in rescheduling our Scotland golf tours and Caddie Golf Tours pass on our heartfelt thanks to the respective individuals in the reservation departments at: Carnoustie, Kingsbarns, St Andrews Links Trust, Crail Golfing Society, Lundin GC, Ladybank GC, Elie GC, Panmure GC, Turnberry, Royal Troon, Fairmont Hotel St Andrews, 5 Pilmour Place St Andrews, Piersland Hotel Troon, St Andrews Golf Club, St Andrews Executive Travel, Arnold Clark Car Hire...and so many more.

We will be back golfing in Scotland soon enough, until then stay safe, look after your families and take no risks, yours sincerely, John Boyne.

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?!?
