The Privilege of playing Golf
A bit lengthy but something every golfer should read and follow. "As received from an old life long golfer who is now touching 90. Thought it might be of interest to those of us who enjoy this game:*The Privilege of Playing Golf !*_Written by a former golfer who can no longer play, but who has reflected on his years in golf and would like the rest of us to think about how we approach the game._ Powerful stuff.I can’t play golf anymore. I tried to swing the club the other day, but my body wouldn’t cooperate. _The best I can do now is sometimes take walks on the course, but my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be so I don’t see much_. I have a lot of time to sit and think now, and I often think about the game.It was my favorite game. I played most of my adult life. _Thousands of rounds, thousands of hours practicing._ As I look back, I guess I had a pretty good time at it. But now that I can’t do it anymore, *I wish I had done it differently.!*It’s funny, but with all the time I spent playing golf, I never thought I was a real golfer. I never felt good enough to really belong out there. It doesn’t make much sense, since I scored better than average and a lot of people envied my game, but I always felt that if I was just a little better or a little more consistent, then I’d feel really good. I’d be satisfied with my game. But I never was. It was always "One of these days I’ll get it" or "One day I’ll get there" and now here I am. I can’t play anymore, and I never got there.I met a whole lot of different people out on the course. That was one of the best things about the game. But aside from my regular partners and a few others, I don’t feel like I got to know many of those people very well. I know they didn’t really get to know me. At times they probably didn’t want to. I was pretty occupied with my own game most of the time and didn’t have much time for anyone else, especially if I wasn’t playing well.So why am I writing you this letter anyway, just to complain? Not really. Like I said, my golfing experience wasn’t that bad. But it could have been so much better, and I see that so clearly now. I want to tell you, so you can learn from it. I don’t want you getting to my age and feeling the same regrets I’m feeling now.I wish, I wish. Sad words, I suppose, but necessary. I wish I could have played the game with more joy, more freedom. I was always so concerned with "doing it right" that I never seemed to be able to enjoy just doing it at all. I was so hard on myself, never satisfied, always expecting more. Who was I trying to please? Certainly not myself, because I never did. If there were people whose opinions were important enough to justify all that self-criticism, I never met them._I wish I could have been a better playing partner._ I wasn’t a bad person to be with, really, but I wish I had been friendlier and gotten to know people better. I _*wish I could have laughed and joked more and given people more encouragement.*_ I probably would have gotten more from them, and I would have loved that. There were a few bad apples over the years, but most of _the people I played with were friendly, polite, and sincere_. They really just wanted to make friends and have a good time. *I wish I could have made more friends and had a better time.!*I’m inside a lot now and I miss the beauty of the outdoors. For years when I was golfing I walked through some of the most beautiful places on earth, and yet I don’t feel I really saw them. Beautiful landscapes, trees, flowers, animals, the sky, and the ocean – *how could I have missed so much?* What was I thinking of that was so important – *my grip, my back swing, my stance? Sure, I needed to think about those* _*sometimes*_, but so often as to be oblivious to so much beauty?_*And all the green – the wonderful, deep, lush color of green!*_ My eyes are starting to fail. I wish I had used them better so I would have more vivid memories now.So what is it that I’m trying to say ? played the type of game that I thought I should play, to please the type of people that I thought I should please. But it didn’t work. My game was mine to play, but I gave it away.It’s a wonderful game. Please, don’t lose yours. Play a game that you want to play. Play a game that gives you joy and satisfaction and makes you a better person to your family and friends. Play with enthusiasm, play with freedom. Appreciate the beauty of nature and the people around you. Realize how lucky you are to be able to do it. _All too soon your time will be up, and you won’t be able to play anymore - *Play a game that enriches your life.*Best wishes . . . *don't waste a minute of golf . . .* someday it will be gone!

Why all The Open venues are congregating for the first time in Scotland
By Martin Dempster - The Scotsman
Scotland is no stranger to hosting the biggest names in golf in a playing sense and, over the next few days, it is rolling out the red carpet to some of the most-famous venues in the game.
Being held for the first time, Elevate Golf will see representatives from all the top golf properties in UK and Ireland, as well as some of the marquee venues in Continental Europe, converge on St Andrews to effectively strike up “relationships” in the first instance but, at the same time, also talk business.
Fifty tour operators will be in attendance and, while golf is being played and dinners have been lined up, approximately 3,000 business-to-business meetings will take place on the final two days.
Having spent 30 years in golf tourism, it became clear to me that there was a need for an event connecting like-minded businesses at the higher end of the market,” said Tom Lovering, Elevate Golf’s founder.
“Golf tourism in the UK and Ireland is worth over half a billion annually, sustaining thousands of jobs. At the top end, international golf tourism offers the best return on investment per person. The golf industry of courses and hotels offers a multitude of levels and budgets, but we felt there was a gap for a network and an event for the higher end of the industry.”
All the venues used by The R&A for The Open are being represented - it is believed that is the first at a trade event - while Marco Simone, last year’s Ryder Cup venue, will also be in attendance along with Les Bordes in France, Valderrama, San Roque and La Reserva in Spain, The Old Course in Vilamoura in Portugal, Costa Navarino in Greece as well as two other Italian venues in Il Picciolo Etna and Verdura Resort.
All those venues, of course, are already busy, as are the others on the list, so why is there a need for them to attend such an event? “Golf tourism is a relationship business,” added Lovering, who was the co-founder of PSP Media Group and worked as the company’s commercial director for 26 years before branching out on his own.“
Many attend to forge new relationships and strengthen existing ones. While ROI is important, relationship-building is the primary reason for attendance.
“People support those they are friends with. Additionally, golf courses and hotels often send behind-the-scenes team members who directly interact with tour operators. High-end courses also attend to support their local regions, ensuring that other local businesses benefit from the tourism they generate.”
While more than 100 tour operators applied to take part, a decision was taken to limit the invitations to just 50. “We use a selection process, inviting tour operators with a strong history in golf tourism or a compelling reason to attend,” explained Lovering.
“What sets Elevate Golf apart from other events is not the size, but the exclusivity. We don’t aim to be the biggest, but we guarantee that every interaction between buyers and suppliers will be meaningful. Golf tourism thrives on relationships, and Elevate Golf is all about fostering those connections, which is why the elite of the industry attend.”
The inaugural event begins with golf at Turnberry on Sunday, followed by dinner at Rusacks’ rooftop restaurant on Monday, and rounds at Dumbarnie and Carnoustie on Tuesday. The main business meetings will take place on Wednesday and Thursday before the event concludes with a gala dinner at the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews, attended by 350 of golf's elite.
Di Stewart, the Sky Sports presenter, is hosting the entire week while Sir Rocco Forte, who is no stranger to the world of high-end golf tourism with his Verdura Resort in Sicily, will participate in a Q&A session with attendees.
“A significant portion of luxury golf tourism in the UK and Ireland comes from North American visitors who flock to our renowned links courses every year. These tourists typically take extended breaks and spend more on accommodations, restaurants, green fees, and more,” said Lovering.
The mission of Elevate Golf is to bring together top-tier golf courses and hotels with leading golf tour operators. These operators are crucial in generating high-end business from North America. Elevate Golf is intentionally exclusive, catering solely to the upper echelon of the golf tourism industry.”
Set to involve more of the world’s leading golf venues, the 2025 event will start in Liverpool before attendees fly to Scotland for the main part of the week at Fairmont St Andrews.

PGA Sustainability Initiative
- Simon's sustainability drive at Stoke by Nayland ♻️
Sustainability is something that most people speak about in positive terms, especially on #WorldEnvironmentDay, but @Stoke by Nayland Resort is doing far more than just talk the talk.
PGA professional Simon Dainty is the Golf and Business Development Manager at the Essex location and part of a team that is really making a difference.
The 36-hole hotel and spa’s banner headline is that it powers its own facility via an Anaerobic Digester (AD) plant located at neighbouring sister company, Boxford Farms. Not only that, but any surplus electricity produced is sold on to the grid.
Everything from grass trimmings, to maize, apple pomace and waste fruit are fed into the AD plant. “What comes out at the end is soil-association approved organic fertiliser, which we use on the golf course and also sell,” says Dainty.
Stoke by Nayland, which in the past played host to European Senior Tour events, also has its own water source. A cascading four-lake system harvests rainwater and means that there is no requirement for mains-supply irrigation on the Gainsborough and Constable courses.
