Apple iPad
Turnberry Resort has become the very first hotel in Scotland to introduce iPad wine and beverage menus into their dining experience. The growing popularity of the tablet computer in the US has also been incorporated by Gordon Ramsay into his London “Maze Restaurant”.
Turnberry has invested in ten iPads which offer guests a colourful and interactive choice of beer, wine, cocktails and whiskies in their 1906 restaurant and The Ailsa Bar & Lounge.
The news of the upgraded menus at Turnberry comes after their launch of a range of well-known golfers’ wines; including the personal selection from John Daly, Retief Goosen and Arnold Palmer. These will be featured on the new menus.

Ewan Grant teeing off on the 8th
Yesterday was the date for the 2011 golf match where a team from PerryGolf take on a team from Turnberry. This event has been running for the last 7 years and has taken in venues such as Turnberry, Machrihanish Dunes, Shiskine (on the isle of Arran) and PerryGolf’s home course of Helensburgh. This year’s event took place at Rothesay Golf Club on the isle of Bute; a very scenic course that overlooks the island and Firth of Clyde. The day started with a short ferry trip to the island followed by bacon rolls and, of course, a beer in the clubhouse before teeing off.

The Kintyre Express, which operates a boat to and from Campbeltown for golfers coming from Turnberry and Troon, has added a second boat to the fleet for the 2011 season which will make it much easier for groups to play both Machrihanish and the newly opened Machrihanish Dunes. The result is that one vessel will now be based in Campbeltown and one in Troon meaning more groups will be able to make the trip across the Mull of Kintyre.

Scotland is home to many of the world’s finest courses. In addition to the many Open Championship venues and bigger name courses, it is also home to some great courses which many people may not be aware of. I would consider Western Gailes to be one of the best ‘hidden gems’ around; situated about 10 minutes from Troon, the course is a true test of links golf and one which I consider to be a ‘must play’ if you spend any time in the Ayrshire area. Turnberry, Troon and Prestwick are all within striking distance of the course.
