Hi parents, I wish you enjoy my blog about golf in Ayrshire...My name is John Bingham, I have caddied on some of the best hyperlinks courses in Scotland and I keep in mind myself very lucky to have accomplished so.
I caddied for Gary Player, Ricky Barnes when he changed into US Amateur Champion, at the British Seniors, Royal Troon, Turnberry Ailsa, Loch Lomond, Western Gailes, Glasgow Gailes, Old Prestwick and Dundonald Links, cherished every minute of it.
My friend Stacy Solomon, after a few conversations, asked me to write a blog, so... Here we go!
There are forty-four golf courses in my wee county, some very famous links courses, some not so famous but...still great tests of golf, plenty of parkland courses and some that are a bit of both.
Eighteen holes, twelve holes and nine holes ...We have all of them.
Where to start??
I suppose it might ought to be with the 2 most well-known golfing courses, Royal Troon and Turnberry Ailsa, As I even have said, I've caddied on each, and may definitely say they may be splendid guides!
Old Prestwick is every other amazing name, founded in 1851 - it hosted the primary open in 1860. Other excellent courses in Ayrshire are Irvine golfing club and Kilmarnock Barassie, along with Glasgow and Western Gailes ...All had been open qualifying publications at one time.
This famous hyperlinks path is web hosting subsequent 12 months's British Ladies Amateur event and is being closely touted to host the 2017 guys's Scottish Open. Links courses are, with the aid of subculture, regarded for tight fairways, small veggies heavy tough and pot bunkers. Dundonald has extensive fairways, huge greens deep bunkers and regions of difficult in which you would not search for your kids, by no means thoughts a Titleist Pro V!
Our golfing guides will supply all ranges of player a check of capability... And that is with out the weather. We have a wind that selections up and drops in a split 2d, you can even get all 4 seasons in an hour over right here!!
I assume that, with the records of a visit to Scotland, and especially Ayshire, it all provides up to a extraordinary golfing experience.
Decent roads make journeys to all of the golfing courses pretty quick so tour is straightforward. Trains run from Ayr-Glasgow every half hour. Edinburgh and the East Coast are most effective simply over an hour via automobile. Accommodation is abundant and reasonably priced.
Ayrshire isn't all about golfing although - we've some lovely scenery here. The island of Arran sits simply off of our coastline and is a mini highlands with truely the identical landscape as up within the north of Scotland - it has seven golf guides, a whisky distillery (Arran Single Malt) and a brewery (Arran blonde or dark beer). Arran has loads to offer!
Look at our records...Culzean Castle has an condominium committed to general Eisenhower, who lived there for some time and there are over forty castles right here, maximum of which you may go to.
And, in case you come to Dundonald, just ask for 'Bingy'; it'd be my delight to spend a while with you.
Hope you loved this. All the excellent, John Bingham.
