Balcomie,
Crail.
Golfing legend Old Tom Morris laid out the original nine holes
at Balcomie in 1895 and in 1998 a second course, Craighead Links,
was opened for play, providing a worthy alternative to its famous
and historic neighbour.
Lundin Links. Voted
among the top links courses in Britain by the Golf Monthly magazine,
members and staff at Lundin also take great pride in ensuring
the many visitors and guests enjoy their magnificent links and
renowned hospitality.
Leven Links. A true sea-side course
- the editior of Golf Monthly described the older part of the
Leven Links as 'being one of the best stands of Bent and Fescues
in Scotland'. Originally Leven was a 9 hole course, maintained
by the players themselves and their families (a paid Keeper
of the Green did not appear at Leven until 1876).
Scottish Golf Links: A Photographer's Journey Along the rugged eastern coast, from St. Andrews up to Montrose and Cruden Bay and Royal Aberdeen, "from heather, whin and sand, to points north," to Nairn and Dornoch. Then to the west coast, to Prestwick and Troon. It's not only the courses themselves that Lowe illuminates along the way, but the winding roads, the ancient villages, the farms and whiskey distilleries, and the people who call this land their home as well.
A
Wee Nip at the 19th Hole For over 200 years caddies have
been walking around St Andrews, the most famous piece of golfing
land in the world, advising players of vastly different abilities
not only on which club to take but also on the type of shot
required and, most importantly on the Old Course, exactly the
line on which to play. Richard Mackenzie reminds us how caddies
first came to St Andrews, the way in which they have added so
much to the folklore of the links and the great contribution
which they have made and continue to make to the game of golf
for those who visit "The Home of Golf".
Final
Rounds: A Father, a Son, the Golf... journey of a Lifetime
An autobiographical title which examines the relationship between
a father and son as it has been forged through shared golf over
a lifetime. The book tells of the author's last trip with his
terminally ill father to the Scottish links of St Andrews and
Muirfield where he discovers the meaning of family against a
background of golf lore and legend.
