Glenmorangie is the current sponsor of the 'links' between ads and golf coverage on Sky. It prompted this thought.
One of our old lecturers advocated the notion that the 'golf experience' begins way before the first tee, actually with the initial meeting up of the guys/gals and the drive to the golf course.
I have to admit, there's a couple of drives which have added immeasurably to some of my best golfing experiences.
The A9 to Dornoch is such a beautiful, historic, scenic route full of great Scottish history that I am always enthralled by it. Passing the 'morangie distillery means we're almost there!!!
17-Mile Drive and specifically the section from Pacific Grove round to CPC is forever etched upon my mind, despite the slightly pouring rain.
Glasgow to Machrihanish is another long but beautiful hike. Turquoise ocean and pristine sandy beaches.
Through the Yetts O' Muckhart and up Glen Devon to Gleneagles. Highland Scotland only 30 minutes from home. Wonderful.
Any drives you love?
