Scottish golf is the genuine article and has no equal so get yourself organised for a visit to the Home of Golf

Posted by admin under Golf Travel, Scotland

There probably isn’t a golfer around who hasn’t dreamed of someday playing the great championship courses of Scotland, the home of golf. The very thought of playing a few, centuries old links layouts or tackling a British Open course or two and walking in the footsteps of the greatest names the game has ever known, is enough to bring goose-bumps to even the most jaded player.

The problem for many is that someday never happens — something comes up and the trip is postponed; priorities change, more excuses are found, permanent procrastination takes over and the dream remains a dream forever. If you are guilty as charged, better make amends soon and give yourself one of the best treats any golfer could ask for and there will be no better time than next year to make it all happen.

Scottish golf is the genuine article and has no equal.

The courses are the biggest names in the game, including St. Andrews Old Course (above) and last year’s Open venue, Carnoustie (below).

So give yourself that special treat now and start the ball rolling today. But beware, you will quickly discover that Scottish golf is habit forming and one trip just isn’t going to be enough.
