A spirited romp through Scotland’s Links and Whisky Trails

A sign in the Glasgow Airport proclaims that Scotland is the best small country in the world. Aye, especially if your idea of heaven is hitting true seaside links by day and enjoying a wee dram and genuine Scottish hospitality in a snug pub or castle by night.

In fact, it was over a few amber elixirs with …

Here’s a New-Year thought, courtesy of Pat Ruddy at The European Club: A recent study found that the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.
