Scottish Kidney Challenge
Scottish Kidney Golf Challenge
Course number 341 of 591 After the 36 hole open on the main course, we decided to play the 10 hole Lynedoch Course.To make up the 18 holes, you play holes 1-9, 2-9, then down the 10th/18th. We only had time to play the 10 holes due to running out of daylight.This 5684y Par 70 woodland course was in good condition, and the greens were just as good as the Murrayshall course. It had water hazards, bracken-filled gullies, undulating greens, and tall scots pine trees that narrow your view on tee shots and approach shots into the greens.Paul had played the course when it was an 18-hole course and pointed out some of the holes that are no longer in use. The massively downhill hole, which i believe was the old par 4 15th aptly named "View", looked mental lol.My favourite hole on this course was the par 3 5th/13th at 106y. A narrow green that is protected by 3 big bunkers left right and back. The hole is framed perfectly with gorse bushes and trees behind the green. A very short but brilliant hole visually.The Murrayshall estate is perfect for a full day out. 28 terrific golf holes in a beautiful part of perthshire and a restaurant to satisfy your hunger between rounds. Absolutely one to visit if you haven't already.The journey to play them all continues
Anyone wishing to donate, no matter how big or small, please click the link below which will take you to my fundraising page. This also has my story that explains why I've chosen the monumental task of playing every course in Scotland. Thanks

Alan Tait meets Bob MacIntyre
- I know I’ve posted something like this before, and make no apologies for doing it again 👍…
2016 Robert Macintyre had just lost in the final of The Amateur Championship and was going to be playing the following day at Macdonald Spey Valley Championship Golf Course in a practice round for a Challenge Tour event, as an amateur⛳️🏴…. BBC Radio Scotland asked me if I’d head up to Aviemore to interview him. Although I was delighted to do it, I was a little wary as I thought this kid is going to be devastated and might be a difficult interview. I had never met Robert before and didn’t really know what to expect😎!
Driving north up the A9 I’m thinking, “he’s just come so close to playing Augusta at The Masters, The Open etc, and all the other amazing invites that come with being Amateur Champion”. I put myself in his shoes and thought, “as well as being devastated the last thing I’d want is to have to sit there and talk about losing, and that I might just have missed my only ever chance to play in The Majors🙄”!
I waited in the Spey Valley clubhouse slightly nervous that this interview might not go that well🥴. Couple of minutes passed and in he comes grinning from ear to ear🤗… “Taity, nice to meet you big man, do you want a coffee or anything?”….. Wow, I wasn’t expecting that I’m thinking!
I went straight into the interview along the lines of “well done, you must be so proud but you must be equally gutted about just missing out and to think you were that close to teeing it up at Augusta next April and blah blah blah🙄”! He was having none of it🤗!! He just spoke about how he’d played great all week and it was an exciting final, and he was really chuffed that his game was in such good shape🏌️♂️. Not once did he have a moan or was down on himself, and it was clear to me it was something he wasn’t going to dwell on. We sat and chewed the fat for 15 mins or so and as each minute passed, I was finding myself so impressed and in total adulation the way he spoke and handled the interview for such a young guy😊!! Most would be sitting there totally broken, with a feeling the world’s against them. He was the complete opposite👍…
I couldn’t get The Masters out my head and right at the end I mentioned it again about how sorry I was that he wouldn’t get the chance to go to Augusta😩. He was genuinely now consoling me a bit and he finished up by saying, “big man it’s fine and I’m fine. Anyway I’ve got the rest of my life to play in The Masters, I’m sure there’ll be other opportunities ⛳️!!!” Wow!!
We said our goodbyes and he was off. I remember vividly thinking, “I’d love to see that guy be a huge success🙏”…. I hadn’t even ever seen him hit a ball, but I knew in just speaking to him for that short time, that Scotland could have something special on the horizon🏴💙…
I’ve met Robert a couple of times since and he’s never changed. Polite, humble, respectful and overall just such a grounded and unassuming good guy. The whole family are, and to see him and his dad together on that course last night, well it’s just what dreams are made of👍👏!!
So from Oban to Ontario, the lad from Glencruitten golf club wins The Canadian Open beating a star studded field. Amazing👍👏!!
The whole of Scotland is so proud of you and we’re all excited what’s next for Robert Macintyre🏴🙏…
And as for me going on about not playing The Masters, well he’ll be there again in April to make what will now be his 3rd appearance👍😎👏!!!
So weesht Taity, and let it go🤗😆!!

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.

Tom Watson visits Prestwick Golf Club
A visit from a true legend of the game!
It’s not every day you get to play with true game-changers, however as the PGA Professional at Prestwick Golf Club, David Fleming did just that as he enjoyed a casual knock with the eight-time major champion Tom Watson.“Prestwick is a true links golf course, running just the way such a traditional and historic course should,” commented Watson, who won four of his five Opens on Scottish soil.“It’s fascinating to watch him up close and it was a privilege,” said Fleming. “He was one of my heroes for a long, long time. I have to admit, I was more nervous playing with him than any other golfer I’ve played with here just because of his profile and stature. He’s a class act."Read the full interview with David online here: https://bit.ly/4dgtOC0

Trump’s eye-watering increase to play historic Turnberry – how much is it after the latest price rises?
It wasn’t exactly cheap in the first place. But if you want to tee it up at Turnberry next summer you could end up shelling out four figures.
The Ayrshire resort, owned by former US president Donald Trump, have hiked the green fees they’re charging non-residents to play the world-renowned Ailsa course. To call them eye-watering is an understatement.
From June 1, the price for those who don’t stay in the Turnberry hotel is a wallet-shredding £1,000 per person before 1pm.
It drops to £545 for those prepared to wait for a later afternoon spot, while hotel residents pay £425 all day.
It’s believed the move is aimed at protecting tee times for members and residents as well as trying to drive more hotel occupancy.
Depending on when golfers want to play, that shock headline rack rate price can also drop further. A weekend time in May next year weighs in at £320.
It currently costs between £425 and £595 to book the Ailsa in high season.
Turnberry’s four figure green fee was highlighted on X by David Jones, also known as UK Golf Guy, who has written extensively about the increasing costs of playing the best courses in Great Britain and Ireland.
He said in 2013, before the Trump Organization bought the property and the Ailsa was redesigned by Martin Ebert, it was £176.
But while that price surely makes the Ailsa the most expensive course to play in GB&I for those who just rock up and put their money down, it also catapults Turnberry up the world ladder as well.
A spot at TPC Sawgrass starts at $700 and is currently $840 for a September time. A precious berth at Pebble Beach is $675, and it’s $595 in peak season to walk round recent US Open venue Pinehurst No. 2.
Shadow Creek, which hosted the infamous match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in 2018, is reported to charge $1,250 to those looking for a game.
Last month, Turnberry – which hasn’t hosted The Open since 2009 – appealed for the championship to return, with club chiefs arguing it would be a fitting location for the 2027 event.
Nic Oldham, Trump Turnberry general manager, said: “There is no doubt the Ailsa remains one of the world’s most iconic layouts, and it remains a rite of passage for many golfers who want to tread in the footsteps of those who have graced our four Open Championships – which have been some of the most thrilling in the tournament’s history.
“We continue to invest in the course and Martin Ebert’s redesign raised the bar even higher. There has never been a better time to play the Ailsa and it would be great if The R&A would consider returning the Open to Turnberry, perhaps to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the famous ‘Duel in the Sun’ in 2027.”
The R&A’s position since 2021 has been that The Open will not go back “until we are convinced that the focus will be on the championship, the players and the course.”
With the ex-president currently running to return to the White House, that might be unlikely anytime soon.
