You mean you can’t speak Gaelic…?
I cycled round Harris a couple of years ago, my b&b was just over the road. The old boy who ran it let me borrow some old clubs from the back of his garage and play one evening. A fabulous way to spend an evening.Great scenery, I was lucky to play the Isle of Harris course a couple of years ago, absolutely stunning.
Jimaroid, we have just played in Fife two weeks ago, namely, Ladybank, Scotscraig, Lundin Links and Crail. Any of those on your "like" list?Yep, it’s a lovely bit of telly and recognise some local faces on it. With the first programme starting in Fife and my home courses I think I’m allowed to be biased towards enjoying it though.

Had my interest as I used to know Laura Murray's family, her brother was mates with my son, and remember her dad starting to take his kids out to play golf at Alford. Enjoyed the bit about the kids program at the Balgove course and wish there was something similar in Carnoustie for my granddaughters when they get to the age where they could take part.Yep, it’s a lovely bit of telly and recognise some local faces on it.

You SHOULD play Ladybank!! It is a beautiful layout, similar to Woodhall Spa. My favourite course in Fife is Elie (Golf House). however, it has become a little pricey.I’ve never played Ladybank but would like to, until then Scotscraig is the one I’ve enjoyed the most from that list and I do enjoy playing there occasionally. How did you find them all?
To be fair, excepting Harris it was mostly in English, as I'd expect every programme to be as it travels round the country
Looks like Durness on one of the photos?
I was there recently. I didn't have time to play 9, so I gave the lady a fiver to just play the 9th. What a cool hole
Birdied it too

Golspie is my least fave of all the courses in the Dornoch area, some good holes but 4 if the last 5 are a real letdown with the two very parkland par 5 and the hole after the least. Par 3 is great then the last two again a bit of a let downLast nights episode covered all the courses where my lad is studying, including a spot on UHI and his new campus at Dornoch. He joined Golspie last week as an additional course to his playing rights at Dornoch and Brora. Student membership is ridiculously cheap and he thinks it's better course than Brora. I was surprised at that as I think Brora is a top top course. Nice to see them all on the telly last night, especially as I'm heading back up there next weekend for a flying visit (literally). Flying up Saturday morning on sleazyjet to play a round at his new gaff on Saturday, and then up to Reay early doors Sunday for a round there, before flying back Sunday night.

Tain is my favourite by miles, tbh I enjoy it more than Dornoch. Its much easier now than it was when I first joined in 2006.I confess surprise because I love Brora, but Shin thinks Golspie is a better course. I'll let you know my thoughts next week ?
It may be an age thing Patrick?, all his uni mates pretty much dislike Tain, to the point he's not even going to try it.....
