Golf for Argyll

It’s not Argyll but it’s a big addition to the Scottish Golf scene. The lost eighteen-hole links course designed in 1891 by the legendary Old Tom Morris at Askernish Golf Club on South Uist has finally been restored and is to be opened by Kenny Dalglish on Friday 22nd August. The discovery and the restoration has attracted world-wide attention in the golfing world and one of the club’s sposors Is Toronto’s Angus Glen Golf Club. (No Scottish connection there then?) On launch day next week there will a live webcast from the club, enabling the Old Tom Morris fanbase everywhere to see it for themselves. the initiative is likely not only to contribute significantly to the economy in the Western Isles but to the wider interest in the provision for the sport of golf in Scotland. And it’s a pretty neat website so click on the club link above and see it for yourself.
