Royal Golf Hotel

At the recent Golf Tourism Scotland awards ceremony, The Royal Golf Hotel in Dornoch was named the ‘Hotel of the Year’ in the large hotel category.  After some extensive refurbishment and under new ownership, the hotel re-opened in April 2010.  Overlooking the first tee at Royal Dornoch Golf Club, the hotel is ideally located for golf in the Highlands.  Royal Dornoch, Brora, Tain, Golspie, Castle Stuart, and Nairn are all within striking distance and all come highly recommended.  Click here for more information.

Westwood Topples Tiger

PerryGolf Staff

After more than 5 years dominating the world rankings, Tiger Woods has at last been toppled from the number one position by England’s Lee Westwood.  There is no question that Tiger’s ‘off course’ issues have affected his decline in form, but it was still no mean feat on Westwood’s behalf as Tiger was so far ahead in the rankings.  I personally think that Westwood’s consistency over the last couple of years, especially in the Majors, has vindicated his position at the top of the rankings and I think that it’s refreshing for the game.

Dubai World Championship

PerryGolf Staff

After 48 events on the long European Tour season, it has come down to a 2-horse race for the crown of European number 1.  It is quite fitting that the 2 guys in the race are both European current major champions, both of whom won their maiden majors this season, and are also both members of the victorious European Ryder Cup Team at Celtic Manor in October.  They are also both ranked in the top 10 of the world rankings.

Having claimed 4 victories throughout the season, Martin Kaymer is currently leading the race but hot on his heels and only €290,910 behind on the money list is Graeme McDowell.  Having won 3 times this season, McDowell – who is in sparkling form – will feel confident going into the last tournament of the season.  With so much money up for grabs in the season finale it will be exciting to see who comes out on top.  I plan on watching as much of the tournament as possible in anticipation…I’m tipping McDowell to finish in the top 3 and overturn the deficit.
