Treasure hunting links golfers will be pleased to find new loot in the Highlands at Castle Stuart.  It was Golf Magazine’s “Best New International Course of the Year” in 2009.  It was ranked World 56 and selected to host the Barclays Scottish Open in 2011.  Better still, if you’re the type that likes to hit the ground playing, the first tee is but 2.9 miles from the airport!

Mike Reeder – an inspiration for all of us

Mike Reeder at St. Andrews with caddy and film crew

Tomorrow night (July 19) at 7:00 EST on ESPN’s E:60 “The Best Stories in Sports” broadcast, we encourage you to tune in for the how a Vietnam veteran who lost both of his legs shot a solid 79 last fall at the Old Course, St Andrews!  It was PerryGolf’s distinct pleasure to accompany Mr Mike Reeder during his visit to Scotland when company Co-Founder Colin Dalgleish joined him for a game and a tour of the town.  Not only will you see an impressive golf swing, but you’ll meet a man who has turned a “bag of hammers” (a phrase Mike borrows from Michael J. Fox) into a powerful inspiration.  Mike’s visit was made possible by Challenged Athlete’s Foundation who partnered with ESPN who had seen mike interviewed by CNN.  Click here if you’d like to see the CNN interview.
