Dress for success on the fairways & beyond

by Gordon DalgleishFebruary 9, 2010

One of the many enjoyable aspects of the golf industry, is that there are so many good guys who work in it.  A recent article in Golfweek about Peter Millar only touches on the success of this company. The article does not dwell on the people involved who are truly some of the best you will find…anywhere.  The company was founded by Chris Knott who remains the chief designer and inspiration for all things color. Whereas I remain as the safe blue blazer and white shirt dresser, Chris defines fashion sense. He can take stripes, solids, paisley prints and polka dots and make it look perfect, while I would take the same basic elements and come across as coco the clown. Chris sets the tone for a hard, but fun work ethic at Peter Millar….a tip of my (plain khaki) hat to you and everyone at Peter Millar.

Palace at Versailles, France

by PerryGolf StaffFebruary 9, 2010

The day did not start well…Bill just made the train and I just didn’t! Left behind on a Paris station almost threw me and as he didn’t bring his cell phone I had no choice other than to try and find him at the other end, and in any case, I had the tickets! Unfortunately the next train took me to the City of Versailles; not the Palace, but luckily a well-marked tourist route took me on a pleasant fifteen minute walk through the outskirts of the city to the area around the Palace and the train station. It was a beautifully sunny September day and we were soon laughing over a coffee and some delicious pain au chocolates.

The Machrie – a true original

The Machrie

The Machrie

I will never forget some of my trips to the Machrie, off the west coast of Scotland.  Situated on the island of Islay, the Machrie is a classic links course in the truest sense of the word. I recall 10 blind shots to greens over towering sand dunes. The details on this golf experience can be enjoyed at LinksMagazine.com While the golf is memorable I will never forget the trip, in 1986 when my brother and I played 9 holes in fierce weather only to return to the clubhouse and an extended lunch break. Indeed, the lunch continued to dinner as were joined by the manager of one of the local distilleries with a new bottle of his product. Golf is a wonderful sport, but more often then not it is the people and life experiences which make it so special.

China – Sightseeing Suggestion

by PerryGolf StaffFebruary 5, 2010

I recently travelled to China for a trip which was truly breathtaking. Included in the trip was some of the most spectacular sightseeing I’ve ever experienced; including the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square, plus golf on the highest and longest course in the world – Jade Dragon – and the two best courses in Asia (the Lake and Mountain courses at Spring City).
