On The Road to Schytherbolle

Clubhouse at Royal Dornoch

As you're probably aware there's been a lack of postings.
Must have something to do with the Big Fella with the red cloak and jolly Ho! HO!
Will get back to our journey On The Road to Schytherbolle in the New Year.

In the meantime if you're stuck for ideas about Xmas pressies go vist the Royal Dornoch Pro Shop where you can buy prints of the above photograph and lots more.
Have a good one.

Deer on Lochranza golf course

According to Iain Laver

Wild red deer have made the fairways and woods of the course their own and golfers considering a shot may occasionally be unable to see the green for a stag group blocking their line of sight.

Does that mean getting a Stag at the 2nd at Lochranza beats a Birdie at the 3rd?

Turnberry
Came across this great photograph of Turnberry while planning my next leg

From Port Ellen up to Port Askaig in Islay and then back on the boat to Tarbert.
From Tarbert a wee bit down the road to Claonaig and then another boat to
Lochranza at the top of the Isle of Arran
Here's a map of the island.

Sure it sounds like a full on kind of day but it can be done in a day and you can still get in a round of golf.
If you time it right, in mid summer, you'll still be able to see the wee white ba' quite clearly after 10pm

About what about Shiskine?

Well according to Mark Rowlinson

Shiskine achieved remarkable fame a few years ago when it popped into Golf World's British Isles Top 100. It dropped out next time round. Distinctive rather than distinguished would be my description. Some very photogenic holes.
