1216.0. "Golf in Scotland." by KURMA::JSALLY () Sat Apr 20 1991 06:41

    
     After reading this conference for some time now, it is apparent that
    either not too many of us in Scotland play golf, or we just don't
    contribute to this conference.
    
      Maybe it would be a good idea if we were to use this note to perhaps
    talk about courses we have played in Scotland, prices of playing
    courses in Scotland, any equipment shops where DEC employees get
    discounts etc. etc.
    
      I hope this note will take off, cause I for one am a bit fed up
    reading about USA golf all the time. (No disrespect to my friends over
    in the US)

     I would be very interested in reading about Scotish golf courses &
     the like.  Hopefully in the next couple years I can escape for a
     Scotish golf vacation.

    In Ayr we recently held an inhouse golf show comprising of equipment
    made by a company called Baron Golf. The show comprised of clubs, bags,
    brollies, head covers etc. The prices were very competitive and
    although the clubs on show were not in the class of top brand names 
    like Ping, Wilson and Ram they were none the less value for money.
    Various members of our Golf Club bought sets of clubs, as well as
    single clubs such as drivers (metal & wooden) and putters.  
     Baron Golf is situated at the South Newmoor Industrial Estate, Irvine.

    Various discounts are available. Name Badge must be shown.

    I recently went on a short golfing holiday to Scotland.
    The highlights were playing the Old Course at St Andrews, and also
    playing two courses used in Open Qualifying, Ladybank and Tayport
    Scotscraig.
    Playing the Old Course came as quite a shock to me. The greens are
    really unbelievably large and contoured. 
    The Ladybank and Scotscraig courses, each around 10 miles from St
    Andrews, are excellent and very enjoyable to play.
    
    This part of Scotland is probably the best for top quality courses,
    with Gleneagles, Carnoustie , and Muirfield close enough by.
