Gary Player’s course at Blair Athol is one of the longest in the world, measuring a monstrous 8232 yards from the Gold tees. The figure may be a staggering one but there...

The Nicklaus course at St Mellion has a fearsome reputation as one of the tougher tests of golf in England. I had a preconception that tough might equal no fun, but that...
