13 Courses in 13 days: A golfing experience across the Land of Saltire By Javier Pintos On May 22nd I left Buenos Aires on a trip that in the company we believe is the seed for many more golf trips to “The Home of Golf”. Although we have been in the past to Scotland and we have sold the destination for the past 4 years, this trip was a stronger bet as we were leading a 34 golfers party and we added some more days at three new destinations we had not visited yet (Inverness, Aberdeen and East Lothian) and which we believe deserve to be considered when travelling to The Saltire for a golf trip. Scotland offers not only links golf at the highest level but a lot more for devoted golfers: playing courses were golf oldest Major Championship has been played, visiting places with over 200 years of history with our game and walking along towns that breath golf in every corner. Our first three days were in East Lothian playing Gullane no.1, Muirfield (The Honorable Company of Edimburgh Golfers) and North Berwick using it as a Fam Trip trying to discover every secret of this area in order to be able to tell our customers what to expect when visiting this corner of the country. And we believe it holds one of the biggest advantages: you are so close to Edimburgh that you can go after golf to walk the city, have dinner or just discover Murrayfield, the first Rugby Museum in the world. The golfing tour was about to start, it was an intense journey throught 13 classic venues, playing them, taking pictures, glancing at every detail and breathing golf in every step. -

Scotland Golf Visitor Survey 2016 Regional Report – Ayrshire
Scotland Golf Visitor Survey 2016 Regional Report – Ayrshire Background and survey method The data for the survey was collected by: Face-to-face interviews at courses across Scotland – 91 completed in Ayrshire Online survey sent to golf visitors – 46 golfing visitors to Ayrshire responded Total sample for Ayrshire – 123 respondents1 All interviewing was conducted between May and October 2016. The online survey was open from June to November 2016. The data set reported has been weighted to ensure it is representative in terms of month, country of origin of visitors and region. Key Findings Economic Value of Golf Visitors The economic value of golf tourism to Ayrshire is £17.1M (437 jobs supported) 2. Profile of Golf Visitors In terms of country of residence, visitors to Ayrshire’s golf courses are split between those from Scotland (37%), the rest of UK (26%) and overseas (37%). This differs slightly from the profile of visitors to Scotland as a whole (50% from Scotland; 19% rest of UK; 31% overseas). Visitors to Ayrshire are, therefore, more likely to be from the rest of the UK or overseas than the overall Scottish average. A higher proportion of visitors to Ayrshire were staying overnight (81%) compared to the proportion across Scotland as a whole (65%) The vast majority of golf visitors to Ayrshire (81%) are male, while 19% are female which was higher than the Scotland-wide sample (12%). 1 The total sample is less than the F2F plus the online samples combined as some visitors responded to both surveys. 2 Estimates for the value of golf tourism in Scotland’s regions have been calculated using the regional spend figures from staying visitors and day visitors (excluding those visitors who live within 30 miles of the course). -
Ultimate Tee-Off Golf Association
PURSUITS GOLF GOLF PURSUITS For the Aspiring Golf Professional You know it’s a tough course when professional golfers complain of its difficulty. This was exactly the case with the TPC Stadium Course in California, USA, (www.pgawest.com), with some of the most difficult moguls, swales and bunkers to overcome. Pit your skills against one of the world’s most challenging courses, created by Pete Dye, and navigate through the plethora of hazards, especially on the 17th and 18th hole. Rated by several publications to be one of the toughest courses in the world, as well as once being dropped from being the PGA Tour’s Bob Hope Desert Chrysler Classic course because it was too challenging, this course is the ultimate test for the advanced golfer (green fees at about US$235, though it varies throughout the year) to conquer and be labelled against the greats, Should you prevail, enter the PGA Tour “Q School” Finals to land the coveted PGA Tour Card. Another course designed by Pete Dye, known for his “Dye-bolical” designs, is the Ocean The Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort (www. kiawahresort.com) in South Carolina, USA. In true Dye fashion, the Ocean has the highest combination of Slope Rating (155) and Course Rating (79.6) in the US, according to the US Ultimate Tee-Off Golf Association. This course features forced carries over marshes, roll-resistant Bermuda Take your golf game to new heights and tee off in the most challenging, most exclusive and most elusive grasses and a seemingly endless array of waste golf courses in the world, with the finest accessories to augment your style, if not your golf game bunkers. -

Early Golf in Scotland The modern game of golf we understand today is generally considered to be a Scottish invention. A spokesman for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest Scottish golf organisations, said "Stick and ball games have been around for many centuries, but golf as we know it today, played over 18 holes, clearly originated in Scotland." The word golf, or in Scots language gouf, is usually thought to be a Scots alteration of Dutch "colf" or "colve" meaning "stick, "club", "bat", itself related to the Proto-Germanic language *kulth- as found in Old Norse kolfr meaning "bell clapper", and the German Kolben meaning "mace or club".The Dutch term Kolven refers to a related sport. -

[CHAMPIONSHIP] How, of Course
Invitation Tom O'Brien was instantly impressed with Royal Birkdale when he walked the course for the first time 13 years ago. At the age of 48, he accepted the Head Greenkeeper's post in what could have been his last opportunity to handle an Open Championship, as well as his first. JOHN NELSON met the man who is again preparing his course for a world-class test of golf om O'Brien, B.E.M., is the name. On his shoulders rests Tthe reputation of Royal Birkdale for providing a world- class test of golf at The 120th Open in July. It could not be in better hands. Tom's the head greenkeeper and this will be his second Open preparation. He had his baptism in 1983 and although it was an experience not without its traumas, his course was universally acclaimed. Now, once again, he's in the hot seat, under the spotlight. What kind of man is he? How has he gone about preparing the course? Was it a benefit having done it before? How can other head greenkeepers gain from such experience? Golf and greenkeeping have been his whole life. Indeed, he grew up as part of the Scottish tradition whereby golf was the natural thing to do. Everyone played and virtually every village had its own course. He comes from Muirhead, Glasgow originally and on leaving school immediately start- ed a career as a greenkeeper. He joined his local club - Mount Ellen - as the junior member of its green staff. Mount Ellen is a downland course and Tom joined a team of four.
