The Kintyre Course, Turnberry

A long awaited trip to Turnberry has finally happened.

The hotel was genuinely 5* - food, accomodation, staff all wonderful.

After eating our main course we were invited into the kitchen to meet the head chef - on a busy Friday evening! Kitchens were a model of calm and professonalism.

I got teamed up with a couple of other golfers to take on the Kintyre course (the Ailsa is the Championship course, but I'm not made of money!!) and I played a Matchplay against this chap from Middlesborough. Although he is a 7 handicapper I managed to prevail 2&1. Mutterings about my bandito moustache I think I overheard. Great afternoon of golf was had by all.

This is one of the greens that sits right on the banks of the Clyde.
