Scottish Golfers Declare They’re Had Enough Of Golf Balls Winding Up In Cow S***.
When they talk about sheep and/or cows being on the tees or fairways of some Scottish golf course, I know first-hand what you’re talking about.
I’ve made a couple of visits to Brora Golf Club in Scotland’s Highlands and where there is electric fencing around all the greens to keep the grazing sheep and cattle off the putting surfaces.
It’s the same also at Barra Golf Club and the UK most westerly course in the Outer Hebrides.
Though it seems those who play Brora have had enough with members ...
A First Tournament Visit To Joburg & Meet A South African Cricketing Great.

Cape Fear National – If You Love Your Golf, There’s Nothing To Fear.
There is plenty of golf courses around the globe when you mention their names, straightaway has you are thinking ‘how did the course attract that name?”
Courses such as the famed Crooked Strick where John Daly won a PGA Championship while there is host of the not-so-knowns such as the Purgatory Golf Club in Indiana, Kissing Camels in Colorado and reminding me of that photo of Michelle Wie kissing a camel, Mad Russian Golf Club and also in Colorado and Devils Knob in Virginna.
What about ...
Bushfoot GC – Terrific Irish Nine-Holes But Don’t Dare Park In Darren’s Parking Spot.
I have been asked often during the course of so many decades reporting on men’s pro golf: ‘Who is the toughest golfer you’ve ever had to work with?”.
The answer to that question is unquestionably Darren Clarke.
You see, as a freelancer I was writing for a number Irish-based outlets including the Irish Independent, the Irish Star, the Irish Examiner and Irish Golfer Magazine, so if Clarke was playing well I needed to speak with him.
Though Clarke was not always obliging, including ...
