How to Create a Golf Trip ItineraryWednesday, December 13th, 2006
This article is excerpted from the Ireland Golf Adventure Guide.
An itinerary is not just a list of courses to be played. You must assemble them in chronological order and in a sequence that works geographically. Course visitor policies and holidays influence which days of the week you can play a particular course. The sequence is [...]
Cruden Bay GCSunday, October 15th, 2006
Playing Cruden Bay GC in a driving rainstorm — and I mean a torrential downpour accompanied by gale-force winds — has got to be one of my most memorable Scotland golf experiences. I’ll never forget pulling into the empty gravel parking lot, making my way into the deserted pro shop, and asking the pro if [...]

North Berwick’s Redan HoleThursday, September 16th, 2004
You’ll most likely never play the 7th hole (”Redan”) at Shinnecock Hills — the par 3 that bedeviled the pros during the 2004 U.S. Open — but you can play the original. When (not if) you go to Scotland be sure to play North Berwick (West Links), which is just down the road from Muirfield [...]
