GUIDE
Turnberry
Ailsa Long
regarded as one of the finest courses in the world, the Ailsa came to
international prominence with the famous duel between Jack Nicklaus and
Tom Watson over the four days of the 1977 Open. It was then, in brilliant
sunny weather, that a capacity crowd was treated to an exhilarating display
of golf from two of the best golfers the world has ever known.
Polls now
regularly acknowledge the Ailsa as one of Britain's top three courses,
confirmation that gives it eminence worldwide, with regular rankings within
the world's top 20 courses.
The first
three holes pose a fairly tough opening, particularly when the wind blows
from the direction of Ailsa Craig, the dramatic rock 11 miles out to sea.
From the admirable short fourth to the short 11th the Ailsa Course follows
the shoreline, the fifth to the eight framed by dunes and the ninth, tenth
and eleventh flanked by craggy rocks. It is a thrilling passage full of
stout hitting.
Perhaps
the ninth is Turnberry's trademark, the remote tee set on a rocky premonitory
on the edge of the sea, the drive across the corner of the bay and a glimpse
of the site of Bruce's Castle (Robert the Bruce, Scottish King, 1306-1329).
The narrow path to the tee and the tee shot itself are not recommended
to those of a nervous disposition.
The scenic
glories of the Ailsa Course are to be savoured - the granite dome of Ailsa
Craig, the low form of the tip of Argyll and the peaks of Arran highlighting
the changing patterns of light and shade. Closer at hand, the lighthouse,
and the ninth's lovely back tee are other symbols of Turnberry, the hole's
title adding an historic echo.
A golfing
trip to Scotland would not be complete without a round on one of the world's
greatest courses. A memorable round is guaranteed.
