Welcome to Golf House Club at Elie, you are on the south coast of Fife in Scotland, a stiff forty-five minute drive south from the home of the sport.

NORTH BERWICK- BACK NINE
A few thoughts on the West Links at North Berwick and a video of the back nine. First, let me say that this has to be one of the most fun golf courses I have ever played and for me that is the biggest compliment I can give. If you don’t like North Berwick, then [...]
NORTH BERWICK- FRONT NINE
Here is a video of the front nine at the West Links at North Berwick. I will hopefully have a some time to write up a few thoughts with the back nine video.

I know that the moving-picture show has visited the course recently for PBG in rightful commendation of Josh [...]

S4C Wales Ladies Championship of Europe
Royal St.David Golf Club,
Harlech, Wales

MYSTIC DUNES
Before playing Mystic Dunes, I had no idea that Champions Tour Player and NBC golf analyst Gary Koch was in the design business. I wish that I still didn’t. A friend set up the game and I had no idea what I was getting myself into and even after the decent first hole, I still [...]
