There’s always time each day for a bit of golf history. It was wonderful to visit Leith Links in Edinburgh today to see a key location for early golf, the John Rattray sculpture and remember that this man signed the first rules of golf. The church spire in the image remains today

@newsfromkyushu @mikeclaytongolf – at Lawers, Scotland
This week an incredible opportunity arose to play the original 12 hole course @PrestwickGC as they celebrate their 175th anniversary. As 1985 Open Champion Sandy Lyle battled the links with his hickory clubs, the course that gave birth to The Open in 1860 stood firm. A great day!

Peter Thomson would have celebrated his 97th birthday today born on the 23rd of August 1929. – at Comrie, Scotland
Peter Thomson (Australia) won 27 National Opens including 9 @NZOpenGolf , 5 @TheOpen 3x @AusOpenGolf 3x @TheOfficialHIO India, 3x @TheHKOpen Hong Kong...and 1 @ItalianOpen , Spain, Germany & Philippines. @TheGolfDivoTee @flushingitgolf
Only Seve Ballesteros, Gary Player and Bobby Locke have a comparable 'world' resumé.
I’m with the majority… Muirfield is one of the great golf courses in the world… may even be in a list of top sport venues (Wembley, MCG, Fenway Park, Monza etc). The best places transcend fads and fashion - are not subject to changing tastes. Class is permanent.
Super Congrats to @ryanfoxgolfer winning The Open today. He played so brilliantly all week and especially down the stretch. It’s a fantastic achievement, but also for New Zealand golf. After Sir Bob Charles, Michael Campbell and Lydia Ko, NZ has a new golf Major star! AWESOME
Great to be Muirfield to see some of the most incredible and talented golfers competing in the Women’s Amateur Championship on this famous links. These woman can play!
Grateful to Frank - an Irish Pitch&Putt champion - for super fun at Douglas and Rocklodge P&Ps in Cork. Holes ranged from 27 to 70m. Mats for tees, turf greens. Hazards are trees, mounds, slopes and bunkers. Quick and cheap to play. Great for everyone. Make this an Olympic sport!
Carne Golf Links took my breath away. It’s one of those experiences that rolls you back to origins of golf when playing was a cross country adventure from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’. The scale of the dunes is at the “epic” end of any measurement. If you like your golf raw, book Carne
Love Golf? Play in Ireland.
I’m on an insane trip. Royal Dublin, Old Head, Pitch & Putt, Enniscrone, Carne, County Sligo, Lough Erne.. it’s a combo of links and inland golf, championship and short courses. Expect to lose a few balls, get wet and have an absolute blast! ⛳️👍👍

.@AndyTFE and some of our Fried Egg Golf team recently returned from a dream trip to Scotland, which included multiple rounds at the Old Course.
On this week's Fried Egg Golf Podcast we included a segment of our Fife live show with @macphersongolf and a conversation with @mattrouches discussing his first visit to @TheHomeofGolf.
Having never met, I finally got to thank awesome @andy_murray @TheHomeofGolf for signing his book encouraging my wife to let me play endless amounts of golf 😂. @mikeclaytongolf and Ivan Lendl acted as the middle men during the AUS Open in 2013. United by golf!⛳️
A feast of fun @TheHomeofGolf. Played the Reverse Old Course with hickory’s and the @fried_egg_golf clan. Standout holes are 1, 2, 4, 7, 13. 17,18 is a good finish. 11th (reg. 8th) is a cracking par 3 - and due to the green contours, superior in this direction. Loved it!
Wonderful to be in St Andrews with Andy Johnson and The Fried Egg podcast guys. It was great fun doing the live recording at the Byre Theatre on the history of Old Course…. And then getting to play it! Tomorrow we play it in REVERSE!
Wonderful night #STGA26 last night. Incredible venue at National Museum of Scotland and well done to @bunkeredgolf, sponsors, guests and finalists for making it a very special event. Scottish Golf Tourism is world class - keep up the great work!
This time last week I was at the Emirates and Riyadh Golf Clubs - fabulous places. It’s hard to imagine how much things have changed in a week. My thoughts are with all my golf friends in the Middle East. Let’s hope peace and golf will return to normal asap.
Congratulations to Yang and all the other competitors in the Women’s Amateur Asia Pacific Championship held @RoyalWellington Golf Club. A fantastic performance at a great venue and event. A real honour to be there. Well done to @RandA and everyone involved 🙏
Amazing being at @RoyalWellington Golf Club for the Women’s Amateur Asia Pacific Championship run by @RandA.
The course is in extraordinary condition - I’ve never seen it so good! Well done to the crew. 👏. Greens stimp at 10.8. Best of luck to all the players. 👍
Fanatic to be back @MiramarLinks. The new 9- hole course, 9-hole@par 3 course and 18-hole putting course are now all open and it was wonderful to see so many people out enjoying the facilities…even saw a hole in 1👏. Congrats to the green keepers - it’s looking great.
Great to be at the BIGGA event in Harrogate as a guest speaker for GEO @sustainablegolf .I was impressed by the talented and dedicated green keepers making our golf courses fantastic places to play golf. Keep up the good work!
