| 06 Apr 2022 | Trails Where Golf Began Part 2 | 00:12:08 | |
While Scotland may be famed for its championship links layouts, the quality of golf within the nation’s major cities is notable. Indeed, the highest concentrations of golf courses in Scotland are around Glasgow (over 90 courses) and the capital city of Edinburgh (over 65 courses). We love a good Ale and a pint of Lager but the choice is yours – just like the golf. And don’t forget the local gin choices too, which continue to grow in popularity. Get Crafty is a trail we can't wait to explore! Email:Info@Scotlandwheregolfbegan | |||

What’s special about the Old Course? Is it the sense of history as you stand on the first tee?

We discuss everything St Andrews on this weeks podcast as we anticipate the 150th Open teeing off Thursday. Email:Info@Scotlandwheregolfbegan | |||

| 20 Apr 2022 | Trails Where Golf Began Part 3 | 00:31:15 | |
In this episode we found out a little-known fact one in every five courses in Scotland are made up of only nine holes. Going back generations, these short-form layouts were at the heart of villages and town, the lifeblood of the community where people could gather and enjoy a game for all levels of ability. It seems appropriate this trail would be called 'Honest & Short'. We also explore Scotland’s less obvious which are are those venues that perhaps sit in the shadow of siblings, go under the radar or lack the profile enjoyed by bigger names. However, that takes nothing away from their quality, value for money and experience. Email:Info@Scotlandwheregolfbegan | |||
