As some of you may know who have been following my progress over the last couple of days I am on a Golf Road Warriors tour of Scotland, so I really haven’t had time to write a review of this weeks venue or go into detail why I fancy the players that I am choosing this week. Match-play is a very unpredictable format, who would have thought Luke Donald would have gone out in the first round at the WGC this year. You also have the added bonus of players being thrown into the hat later on, to make each group of three. Its a small field I will only do two picks for... Full Story

The Perfect Neighbour, In The Perfect Neighbourhood

Dundonald Links, Western Gailes, Golf in Scotland

I have to state from the start I am a self proclaimed lover of Kyle Phillips designed golf courses and his design philosophy. I love links golf and how Kyle is helping to take that style of play around the world, all be it with a modern twist, is all credit to him. You can imagine my feelings when I read Dundonald Links was on our itinerary. The course opened for play in 2003 and sits among other great courses like Western Gailes,Royal Troon and Prestwick, but once there and walking through those heather covered dunes you would think it had been here for centuries. The truth is, that only some of those dunes existed before 2003, the rest of the course was flat. It was the geni... Full Story

The Gailes Will Whisper To You

The par 4 9th hole at Western Gailes © James Mason

There aren’t very many golf clubs in the world where you have to be invited to become a member, there is a tradition at this long established club, that you arrive in a suit and tie and you depart in a suit and tie. Don’t get the wrong impression from that statement its far from being some snobby club and that tradition doesn’t extend to none members. The members are most welcoming and I had the pleasure of playing with Craig and Graham who are both members at Western Gailes and a good couple of lads and very good golfers, Craig had back-to-back birdies at 9 & 10, just missed out on another at the 11th. I would also recommend you use the caddies, apart fro... Full Story

Scottish Warriors Last Stand

The victories Golf Road Warriors drove into town last night and made camp at the luxurious Mar Hall Hotel. The Scottish weather had thrown everything at us, rain, hailstones, sleet, driving rain, with a bit of sunshine thrown in along the way, but we stand undefeated, with only the Earl of Mar Course to surrender to this group of vagabonds from around the globe (Well, England, Scotland, Canada and the US to be precise). After one of the best meals of the tour had been served and vanquished and a good nights sleep tucked under our belts, it was with a happy heart to see the sun pecking through the massive windows of my room. I say room loosely, as you could play a five-a-side foot... Full Story

Callaway Hex Black Tour: The Ultimate Road Test

For the past week the Golf Road Warriors have been putting the new Callaway Hex Black Tour ball through its paces. Believe me apart from the desert heat, this ball has been tested in every kind of weather on some of the best courses in the world and probably a better test than Callaway its self put it through! As many of you know who read my equipment reviews, I prefer testing equipment on trips rather than on the practice ground or putting green etc. You get a real feel of how the product works and how it’s going to work for club golfers around the world, when they tee it up with friends on a weekend. And I can testify the Callaway has stood up under some extreme conditions, Turnbe... Full Story

Warriors Last Supper

The Mar Hall Hotel Dining Room

Like victorious warriors we entered the dinning hall one by one, (after drinks in the wood panelled bar!) we sat at our now customary table at the top of the restaurant befitting those who had conquered some of the toughest courses in the West of Scotland, in weather that would test the spirit of any true warrior. We were now to be honoured (to be fair it was our honour, but I have to keep in the Golf Road Warrior spirit) by the amazing chef Sam Carswell at the Mar Hall Hotel, and amazed and astonished we were. Sam had prepared an eight-course menu all to be served with accompanying wine selected to compliment each course by the Maitre d', who is none other than Frankma Canas Roma... Full Story
