One of the features of the unique software platform that PerryGolf employs to create, manage and deliver customized trips is to constantly monitor dates when golf courses will be closed. On many occassions these are dates that are unique events and cannot be reasonably anticipated based on history.
Our system simply does not permit us to generate a proposal for a client when one of the scheduled golf courses is in conflict with a “close out” date. This is one of the many benefits you receive from PerryGolf as compared to less entrenched travel providers.

A recent trip to Scotland took me for an overnight visit to St. Andrews. The weather was cold but clear blue skies were the order of the day. St. Andrews is a stunning, attractive destination for golfers and non golfers alike…even in cold weather!
As I departed St. Andrews I stopped at Kingarrock and met David Anderson. David is a fascinating and engaging personality who has a passion for Kingarrock. As many have realized a picture is worth a thousand words and on that basis, I suggest you enjoy this You Tube video . More details on Kingarrock can be found here.

It was recently announced that the Open Championship will return to the home of golf in 2015. The Open is widely regarded as the most prestigious Major Championship and I honestly believe that winning it around the Old Course at St. Andrews must add so much to the satisfaction of the winner.

I have read with interest this week that a new £55 million golf resort is planned for Scotland. The new Angus resort will feature a Darren Clarke designed course as well as a 5 star hotel. It will add to several great courses in the local area; the main one being Carnoustie Links which will be just a few minutes away. With the golfing Mecca of St. Andrews being under an hour’s drive from the site, this is a welcome addition that makes the region all the more attractive to golfers. In addition to this, the new Trump course is well under way – and around 90 minutes to the north – the future looks very exciting for golf on Scotland’s East coast.

Crail Golfing Society – which is just a short drive from St. Andrews – celebrates its 225th birthday this year. To think that this Golf Club has been in existence since before the USA’s first ever President was elected is quite an achievement. There have only been 6 other golf clubs in the world to have reached this milestone, so it’s proving to be a special year for everyone at the club; which is the home of the excellent Balcomie Links and Craighead Links courses. For anyone coming over to Scotland in search of golf at a club steeped in history, Crail fits the bill perfectly.

Mike Reeder at St. Andrews with caddy and film crew
Tomorrow night (July 19) at 7:00 EST on ESPN’s E:60 “The Best Stories in Sports” broadcast, we encourage you to tune in for the how a Vietnam veteran who lost both of his legs shot a solid 79 last fall at the Old Course, St Andrews! It was PerryGolf’s distinct pleasure to accompany Mr Mike Reeder during his visit to Scotland when company Co-Founder Colin Dalgleish joined him for a game and a tour of the town. Not only will you see an impressive golf swing, but you’ll meet a man who has turned a “bag of hammers” (a phrase Mike borrows from Michael J. Fox) into a powerful inspiration. Mike’s visit was made possible by Challenged Athlete’s Foundation who partnered with ESPN who had seen mike interviewed by CNN. Click here if you’d like to see the CNN interview.
