Golf Vacations in Scotland
The oldest written records of a golf game
appear in the archives of the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing
Society, which is today known as The Royal Burgess Golfing Society.
They record the playing of a game at Bruntsfield Links in
Edinburgh,
Scotland. Golf is also mentioned in two 15th century Scottish laws,
and the oldest playing golf course in the world is
The Musselburgh Old Links Golf Course
(also in Edinburgh),
which has been in use since at least 1672, if not earlier (some people believe that
Mary, Queen of Scots played there in 1567).
As a result of this venerable history, golf is considered a Scottish invention,
and the country is in fact sometimes referred to as "The Home of Golf".
As you might expect given its history and long association with the game,
Scotland remains a popular destination for golf vacations. There are
many excellent golf resorts in the country, and approximately 550 golf
courses.

Traveling with ones wife can be enjoyable. Traveling with ones wife who is a non-golfer on a golfing vacation can be an adventure. Traveling with a non-golfing wife on a golf vacation to Scotland in an experiment. For the golfer, the needs are simple: golf clubs, golf balls, and a change of clothes. For a non-golfing spouse, every potentiality must be anticipated so that appearance and attire is always appropriate. For the golfer, food and accommodations are utilitarian. For the non-golfing wife, where one eats and where one stays determines what one wears. For the golfer, the elements are to be endured. For the non-golfer, they are to be avoided. For the golfer, travel between golf courses should be the shortest possible route. To the non-golfing wife, the route should be the most scenic with serendipitous stops along the way for sightseeing. (Possibly) The Best (Golf) Vacation Ever chronicles the planning, preparation, and execution of a golfing holiday to Scotland of a golfer husband and his non-golfing wife. From the Royal Dornoch Golf Club in the north of Scotland to Turnberry on the southern coast, the couple accommodates each others requirements to maximize their individual aspirations of what a Scottish holiday should entail. Written with humor and a colorful description of Scotland, this book could serve as a guide for others contemplating a similar experiment. |
