It quickly becomes apparent that both he and host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, are incredibly fond of this rugged old links that is pretty much surrounded on all four sides by water. Going here is an adventure – and the course has bags of character, appeal and high drama to reward the intrepid traveling golfer.
