Golf in Scotland after Covid-19

Good to see January coming to a close and though Scotland remains in lockdown, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to believe that we will be able to travel to other parts of the country and golf some old favourites and new golf courses soon.

With the continuing vaccination roll out we all have hopes of travel opening within the UK by May and certainly by the summer. It is becoming increasingly unlikely that international travel will be allowed before June, which means that the British golfer will be able to take advantage of golf at many of our great courses.

Golf in Scotland is not all about the Old Course St Andrews and our big reputation Open venues at Carnoustie, Muirfield, Royal Troon, Turnberry and the original Prestwick.


Stretch your golfing imagination and enjoy golf on our classic links courses dotted around the country that offer real golf for real golfers! As an alternative to chasing those big name golf bag tags in Scotland why not consider our personal favourites that can be weaved into a great Scotland golf tour or short golf break.

Caddie Golf tours are well placed here in Kingsbarns, St Andrews, to advise golfers of where to experience true Scottish links golf. We look forward to working with you this year...FORE!

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?!?
