Technology Advances at Gleneagles
Any developments at Gleneagles are viewed with interest, especially with them due to host the Ryder Cup on its return to Europe in 2014. From this article, it looks like they have found a solution (for greens anyway) of maintaining great course conditions in spite of difficult environmental factors. I wonder how long it will be before we see this technology in more widespread use.

Castle Stuart Golf Links Receives Impressive Ranking
Castle Stuart Golf Links, the new home of the 2011 Barclays Scottish Open, is now officially rated as the 56th best Golf Course in the World. The official rankings by the US based GOLF MAGAZINE were released this week on the ‘front9’ app with Castle Stuart being the highest-ranking debut on the World list. Following on from its success as host venue to the recently played Barclays Scottish Open, Castle Stuart’s reputation continues to spread worldwide. Perfect location and the courses in the highlands are a must play on a trip to North of Scotland; Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart and Nairn are some of many worth the trip to the area.

Darren Clarke to Design new Scottish Golf Resort Course
I have read with interest this week that a new £55 million golf resort is planned for Scotland. The new Angus resort will feature a Darren Clarke designed course as well as a 5 star hotel. It will add to several great courses in the local area; the main one being Carnoustie Links which will be just a few minutes away. With the golfing Mecca of St. Andrews being under an hour’s drive from the site, this is a welcome addition that makes the region all the more attractive to golfers. In addition to this, the new Trump course is well under way – and around 90 minutes to the north – the future looks very exciting for golf on Scotland’s East coast.

Crail Golfing Society ~ 225th Anniversary
Crail Golfing Society – which is just a short drive from St. Andrews – celebrates its 225th birthday this year. To think that this Golf Club has been in existence since before the USA’s first ever President was elected is quite an achievement. There have only been 6 other golf clubs in the world to have reached this milestone, so it’s proving to be a special year for everyone at the club; which is the home of the excellent Balcomie Links and Craighead Links courses. For anyone coming over to Scotland in search of golf at a club steeped in history, Crail fits the bill perfectly.
