Nice piece by BBC Scotland about Askernish including some terrific words from Gordon Irvine including the line that -
“Old Tom was famous for the fact that he didn’t build a golf course he found a golf course, he would strategically find holes within the natural terrain” and various comments about golf within nature, daisies, buttercups, green speeds etc.The Askernish part starts approx 13 mins into the programme.
Hope it’s viewable by all.

Enjoy.
