1. Coming back home
Scottish Golf Fails

2. July 2005 sees the return in the world’s greatest golf
tournament to the spiritual home for the Scottish
Colonial. While using 27th staging from the British
Open going on about the Old Course in 2005, St
Andrews has held case more frequently than any
place else which has reinforced its strong reputation
as the “Home of Golf”.

3. This year’s event comes at a time frame the place
that the Scottish Golf Marketplace is enjoying
something of the renaissance, with more people
these days determining to go to the country for
golfing holidays and test on their own many of the
world’s most famous courses.

4. That old Course at St.Andrews, where in 2010 the
world’s greatest golfing talent will compete for the
famous Claret Jug Trophies, originally contains 22
holes - eleven out and eleven back. However, in
1764 the area society of St.Andrews Golfers decided
how the format of the course had to change
because the most of the holes were simply too
short. As a result the entire quantity of holes was cut
to 18 - which can be now synonymous with golf
courses worldwide.

5. However, regardless of the now settled structure
from the course many inside town felt the links will
be better served like a commercial opportunity as
opposed to a playground for golfers. This together
with the local councils financial difficulties triggered
the links offered in 1799 to some rabbit breeding
company!

6. This became a really controversial move which
essentially led to precisely what is known locally
since the “Rabbit Wars” to find the best portion of
two decades. Eventually, in 1821 a gentleman
called James Cheape bought the links for the sole
using local golfers - which essentially resulted in the
truly great golfing legacy which still exists today.

7. During many countries golf can be considered a game
title to the financial elite, it's been a sports activity that's
available to all numbers of society in Scotland. The
popularity in the game grew even larger plus 1860
Prestwick Golf Club held the very first Open
Championship and won by Willie Park.

8. St Andrews first held outdoors in 1873 when Tom
Kidd claimed the title and over century later the
course has seen some of the most exciting opens
including the famous Sergio garcia victory in 2000
where he set a low-scoring record of 19 under par
while becoming the youngest player to own
achieved a career “grand slam” of golf’s four major
tournaments.

9. Besides the famous win by Sergio garcia the
winner of the 2005 Open will probably be following
within the footsteps of other legends for example
Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Jack Nicklaus, Bobby
Locke and James Braid who've all won over the
famous links. To put it differently winning outside on
the home of golf is the absolute pinnacle of
achievement that any golfer can hope or even
dream to realize.

10. It seems like challenging to suppose a country while
using rich good Golf Trophies that Scotland enjoys
could lose its way in regards to promoting itself as
being a great golfing destination. However, during the
90’s this was certainly true. Countries including
Portugal, Spain and even Ireland worked tirelessly to
trade themselves facing outward world because ideal
destination to golfing holiday. Scotland was perhaps
responsible for arrogance believing that it could
possibly survive on its historical reputation alone.

11. However, the last four years has seen an obvious
shift in the marketplace with large amounts of
(particularly English, American and Japanese) golfers
yet again visiting Scottish shores. Helped from the
publicity surrounding this years Open at St.Andrews a
lot more golfers are trying to find golfing breaks and
also have a many companies competing for their
business.

12. In St.Andrews itself the somewhat new St.Andrews
Bay Golf Resort [http://www.standrewsbay.com]
provides Upscale luxury that rivals the very best of
golfing hotels anywhere in the world. Sitting amidst
the rugged coastal landscape of East Fife the hotel
was in ten or twenty yards of all the St.Andrews
courses.
