Rich provides a nice overview to the early 2011 golf scene in the Highlands. Nairn as non-descript as ever...what a surprise...NOT!
It continues to live on God kows what. That monstrosity of a clubhouse is the last thing that needs expansion. The mentality of whoever runs that place is what needs some expansion and enlightenment.

Nice to hear RD is in good nick coming out of the Winter. Eoin Riddell and the lads certainly put the effort in to give the courses the best presentations possible...good on ya men!

It will be interesting to see how the pros tackle CS. I hope the wind is up and there is some firmness and fire around the greens. Those conditions would make for an interesting test.
"I said in a talk at the Dunhill Tournament in St. Andrews a few years back that I thought any of the caddies I'd had that week would probably make a good golf course architect. We all want to ask golfers of all abilities to get more out of their games -caddies do that for a living." T.Doak

Haven't read Rich's blog yet but not surprised to hear the old Dornoch man has been bad mouthing Nairn again. These Dornoch members have always been jealous of Nairns greens  :D
