The tees at Royal Melbourne have several discs set in the ground with seemingly random numbers on. They are tee positions so the course always plays the exact yardage on the card when they move the boxes around. I’ve never seen that anywhere else. It’s next level geekery!

Straight off the plane at Dunedin and out at Chisholm Links. A really pleasant course and amazing value at NZ$45 - that’s £20. This is the par 4 9th. One of the best holes I’ve played in New Zealand. A testing par 4 along the coast with a rolling fairway and elevated green. 👍

I’ve made it from St Andrews to Aberdeen! Some awful weather, some gorgeous days. Thanks for all of the amazing support, it means a lot. I’ll do the final fundraising total when the auction closes on Saturday. In summary: 265,324 steps 129 miles 2 toenails almost gone 😬

I’m off to Iceland tomorrow for a week of research for a UK Golf Guy trip next summer. The golf looks really fun and there are plenty of other sights to see. Does anyone have any tips for Reykjavik places to eat/drink? I will report back next week!

What an afternoon at Strandhill, just 10 minutes out of Sligo. Such a fun, quirky course with some wonderful holes. This is the 5th hole in the afternoon sun. It goes straight in as one of my favourite fairways anywhere!

An amazing time on the east coast of Scotland. Wonderful courses and great welcomes everywhere. The rain will come of course, but this week we got to see some of the funnest courses in the country playing like I’ve never seen before. Thanks to those who came along for the ride!

Sitting behind Muirfield and the Renaissance, the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers own a jaw dropping piece of land. Every few years, word goes around that a top architect is working on a routing. Nothing comes of it. I suspect nothing will. But just look at that land!

My version of ‘Scotland’s Ultimate Course’ starts today. 18 holes, 18 courses. The rules were: I couldn’t use any course more than once, and every hole had to be in its ‘right’ place. First up was a relatively easy choice. Hole 1 Machrihanish Par 4, 428 yards Hope you enjoy!

In spring 2021 I was looking for something to do. My job was coming to an end and I wasn't quite sure what the future held. I bought a drone and for more days than I care to remember I got up at 4:30am to film the West Links at North Berwick Golf Club. It helped clear my mind! You can see the full video of all 18 holes on my website and YouTube. But if you just fancy watching some nice shots of possible my favourite course in the world, this should do the trick!

Just how good is Royal Dornoch ? Well, the US GOLF Magazine has it ranked at number 10 in the world - above the likes of Muirfield, Turnberry and Pebble Beach. Tom Doak explained to me why he thinks that is - 'The more I've thought about it over the years, I have come to the conclusion that Dornoch is the Scottish links most likely to appeal to Americans. It’s so pretty and after the opening holes you always have a view of the water'. He then went on to wax lyrical about the approach shots and interesting set of greens! I'll be heading there on June 23rd next year if you want to join me to see for yourself. In the meantime, here's the 14th hole, Foxy.

The changes at Turnberry in recent years have created a stunning stretch of holes along the coast and any of them could have made it into ‘Scotland’s Ultimate Course’. But the tenth may be the best of the lot. Hole 10 Turnberry - Alisa Par 5, 496 yards

Next up on ‘Scotland’s Ultimate Course’ is the 15th at Kingsbarns. The quality of the whole course is tremendous. Kyle Phillips created a modern masterpiece on the Fife coast. Hole 15 Kingsbarns Par 3, 185 yards

The next hole in ‘Scotlands’s Ultimate Course’ was a relatively easy pick. The fourth at Cruden Bay is majestic. Those dunes… Hole 4 Cruden Bay Par 3, 196 yards

Two sleeps to go until an epic trip to Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado. Can’t wait! And no, there isn’t a direct flight yet from Edinburgh to Wichita unfortunately…

It’s taken 12 holes but ‘Scotland’s Ultimate Course’ has finally reached the Kingdom of Fife. Elie is one of my favourite courses anywhere and I think it’s a Fife ‘must play’. I just love the stretch of holes from 10-13. Hole 12 Elie Par 4, 436 yards

My 14th hole is the redoubtable ‘Foxy’ at Royal Dornoch. The devilish raised green sits at the end of a gloriously rumpled fairway. There are no bunkers to deal with, but hitting 🦊 in regulation is a real achievement. Hole 14 Royal Dornoch Par 4, 445 yards

It’s off to the Highlands for the next in ‘Scotland’s Ultimate Course’. I had to include @CastleStuart - it’s such a great course in a wonderful setting. I could have picked at least half a dozen holes from there but the 2nd fitted in well. Hole 2 Castle Stuart Par 5, 530 yards

You could travel the world looking, but you won’t find many better par 3s than the sixth at Cruit Island in Donegal. It was looking spectacular today in the evening sun.

The 7th hole at Barnbougle Dunes must be one of the best par 3s in the world. And it’s only 122 yards long. Can’t wait to see it again in a few weeks.

Here’s 60 seconds from the new Coore and Crenshaw course at Cabot Saint Lucia. It was a spectacular course to shoot from the drone. My course review will be out at the weekend…

It’s been a great year for OneFairwaysGullane, our rental property in Gullane. Lots of lovely guests and every review on Airbnb has been 5 stars! We have availability for next year and it’s also great value if you fancy a winter break on Scotland’s Golf Coast.

That’s another year on the books for me, I ended up playing 82 different courses in 2023 Thanks for everyone who has followed along on Twitter and commented, liked or retweeted. Your support is much appreciated. I’m not sure I’ll beat 82 courses in 2024 but will give it a go!
