Tain Golf club

After a trek to the highlands I stopped off at Tain on a Saturday evening when all was quiet and still. My pal Mr.Spiers had recommended it so with a decent twilight deal I teed off.

Where the schnell was the first green? Up ahead there was a fence where the fairway ended... but no green?? I walked up and to my amazement there it was ..over the fence. This epitomizes a quirky old course that has touches of everything from links to deep parkland and even a par 4 with spectacles ala Carnoustie!

I whizzed round with only the odd sparrow-hawk for company in just over 3 hours and loved it. Playing well raking 3 woods down the fairway did help but even so definately worth a visit if you are in this neck of the woods.
