Yas Island Links Enhancing The Links Golf Experience.
The sun was still 15 minutes away from making its presence felt when Eoin Clarke and myself stood on the opening tee of the Yas Island Links course at Abu Dhabi.
This was in contrast to a few years back when I joined a group of journalists covering the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship to inspect the yet completed layout.
On that occasion we made our way out to the 8th hole, a stunning par three laid out on the Yas Island shoreline, where we were introduced to course designer, Kyle Phillips.
The eighth ...
Aberdour Golf Club – A Scottish Golfing Treat That’s Anything But Dour!
It is never polite to be late arriving on the first tee.
However it was downright embarrassing when I upstaged my host and fellow guests in walking off the opening hole a few minutes later having sank an outrageous very long putt for birdie.
Well, that was the scenario when I joined three of Scotland’s leading golf correspondents – Martin Dempster (The Scotsman), Euan McLean (Daily Record) and Nick Rodger (Scottish Herald) – last October at the Aberdour Golf Club.
Martin is a ...

President Golf Club, West Palm Beach – First Birdie & First ‘Nature’ Hazards Of 2015.
Those who know me well will be reading this and wondering why it took me so long, and all of three days, for a first game of golf in 2015.
Well after seeing in the New Year I dusted off the Callaway’s and headed this afternoon to the very close-by President Golf Club course at West Palm Beach, Florida.
The course in recent weeks has become like a second ‘home’ course and while I was quickly soaring with a birdie at the opening hole on my very first game on the Eagle Course, there ...
President Golf Club, West Palm Beach, Florida – Stunning Sunset Lights Up Course.
The President Golf Club has been our virtual back-yard for the past week and it’s been great to drive even a shorter distance to the course than the near two-minute drive to my ‘home’ course – Crail Golfing Society.
The Club here as West Palm Beach offers an attractive ‘twilight’ fee and thanks to Scott Mailloux, Director of Golf, I’ve enjoyed tackling the Robert Trent Jones gem.
However one of the most captive sights in playing the course late in the afternoon ...
President Golf Club, West Palm Beach Gets Presidential Seal Of Approval.
You could be mistaken you were making your way to Capitol Hill in Washington D.C, and the seat of government in the United States rather than a golf course in sun-splashed Florida.
I say this only because in heading to the Eagle Course at the President Golf Club in West Palm Beach you drive along Congress Drive before turning into Presidential Ave and passing by streets named Embassy Drive and Consulate Place.
The course is lined with residential buildings named after former US President greats such ...
Tianma Golf Club, Shanghai Welcomes AGW Committee Executive Members.
A very special thank you to Vice-President Mr. Kuo Chen Su in welcoming AGW Executive Committee members in Peter Dixon and myself to the Tianma Golf Club here in Shanghai.

Joining Peter and myself in playing the course on a wonderful sunny and calm Tuesday morning was the European Tour’s Denis Blasdale and ...
