TURNBERRY AILSA COURSE -
Situated on the Firth of Clyde
on Scotland's west coast, it is
the most glamorous of British
Open Championship venues,
Turnberry's Ailsa holes along
the shore have earned it
worldwide acclaim (Golf Magazine
ranked #19 in the world). The
Ailsa has hosted only three
British Opens, but the first, in
1977 was the "Duel in the Sun"
between Jack Nicklaus and Tom
Watson. Greg Norman won in
record fashion in 1986, and then
Nick Price in 1994. The seaside
holes at Turnberry begin with
the alluring par-three 4th
which measures 167 yards, and
where the line is over the edge
of a sandy bay. Not
inappropriately, it is called
'Woe-be-Tide'. The 5th is a long
par-four, but presents few of
the length problems of another
short hole, the 6th. This is one
of those instances where, to
refer to a par-three as a short
hole, is to stretch journalistic
license. It measures 222 yards,
and is often played into the
wind - in which case it may be
out of reach for even a driver.
The 9th and 10th, though, are
probably the two jewels. The
first hole of the inward half
takes us past the ruins of a
castle, the base; it is said,
for some of Robert the Bruce's
dashing deeds. It is set
alongside the rocky shore, and a
golfer from the Monterey
Peninsula might almost feel a
sense of deja vu here. The 15th
is another classic short hole,
which proved the making of
Watson in 1977, when he sank an
outrageous 40 foot putt from off
the green, to startle Nicklaus.
The 16th, with a burn in front
of the green, pis one of the
most thrilling approach shots in
golf. The 17th is a
swooping par 5 that is reachable
in two, as long as there is no
wind in your face. The 18th
is a very straight forward par
4, as long as you do not push
your drive to the left into the
gorse. This is certainly a
golf course that you will enjoy
playing and remember for a long
time! The new Colin
Montgomerie Links Golf School is
excellent, and the new
refurbishment of the Kintyre
Course by Donald Steele is now
mature and outstanding!
WWG Grade: A+
