Bamburgh Castle was the first course to light a fire in my soul for this wonderful game of ours. Quirky, charming, insolent, unfair, fun, frustrating, character building, outstandingly beautiful. This piece of land has always been a big part of me ( I must confess that my late Father was a past Captain, President and Chairman). I have been fortunate enough to have played at many Championship courses, including living in St Andrews for many years - apart from the Old Course - nothing compares to the Bamburgh experience of being at one with the game.
