So, since I was 24, I've lived a jolly life in bonnie Fifeshire for 27 years now, gowfin' my ball around many of our fine linkses and other inlandier tracks. I expect you know some of them?
I've driven by Scotscraig many's a time, even once bought some snazzy pants and shirts in the little golf shop. Have I played it, I hear you ask? Until today, I had not. Don't ask me why? I don't know. I've had ample opportunity. Just never found the space/time.
Today I am sad/happy in equal measure. Twenty seven sodding years WASTED; I could freakin cry. Discovering the wonder of Scotscraig; I could do backflips.
It was one of the most fun times I've ever had on a golf course. You guys would love it. You want quirk? You got it. You want history? You got it. You want lovely heathy, linksy turf? You got it. You want one of the friendliest welcomes at a golf course ever? You got it.
I was so enamoured I literally couldn't face taking any photos. That would have meant taking my eye away from the lovely reality. Here's some on the Club's website though:

cheers,
F.
