Old Course Tee Times
Everyone who journeys to Scotland for golf, whether for the 1st time or the 50th time, is keen on playing the Old Course in St. Andrews. And who can blame them. It is the ultimate golf destination for the golf aficionado. This is the home of golf and a place where you can play a circuit that has regularly hosted the (British) Open Championship since Tom Kidd won there in 1873. Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and James Braid have each won the Open twice in St Andrews. Palmer won two Open Championships in a row but a life regret was that neither win took place at the Old Course. Bobby Jones won there as an amateur in 1927 and remarked later:
Ireland or Scotland?
Golfers who like to travel will ultimately face this dilemma; should we go to Ireland or Scotland? For us the seminal last word is a piece in Links Magazine by George Pepper about the differences between the two countries. Keep in mind this is a bit like picking between Kate Beckinsale or Charlize Theron, you really can’t go wrong with either. But you do have to make a choice and hopefully this piece will help.
