"Royal Dornoch is ranked as the thirteenth best golf course in the world and is a mecca for American golfers.
Donald Ross was the greenkeeper and professional at Royal Dornoch before he emigrated to the United States of America and designed and created at least 500 golf courses and founded the US Association of Golf Architects.
There are in effect three competitions and fourteen prizes to be won over two days, so one bad round is not the end of the world.
Our grateful thanks to Royal Dornoch Golf Club and also to our sponsors:

Highland Council
