The Trip of Dreams
Almost all golfers will have ambitions, serious or otherwise, to walk the fairways of Scotland. The lucky ones will someday make good on plans for a once-in-a-lifetime trip, ticking off, amongst others, the marquis courses made famous by The Open Championship. They will never forget the moment of being called on to the first tee of The Old Course at St Andrews, the heart leaping in joyful fear, the countless eyes of golfers past and present upon them. Those who don’t take the journey must make-do with daydreams of golf played amongst the dunes around Scotland’s wild and wonderful coastline, imagining themselves in a country which is the soul of golf.
But even if you never make it to Scotland, consider this: wherever you might be, wherever you’re playing the game of golf, you’re experiencing a little bit of Scotland, its sporting gift to the world.
