Golf Plans Update & Request for Help (March 2013)

After a teaser two weeks of good weather in St Andrews, the cold returned to present a "Siberian Spring." During those two weeks I was able to get in rounds on nearly all of the St Andrews courses as well as rounds at Crail Golfing Society and Dunbar Golf Links. Hopefully the good weather will return soon and more great golf will continue.


Two very exciting things have happened recently:

I received word early last week that I will be working as an intern at GOLF.com / GOLF Magazine in NewYork City this summer. I am incredibly excited for the opportunity and am eager to get a unique insight into the golf media industry.

During my time in New York, I am hoping to get in as much good golf as possible. The goal of playing the top 100 courses in the World is always looming in the back of my mind, and this summer will hopefully be an opportunity to knock some great courses off the list. I am hoping to reach out to as many people as possible for help and connections to the courses of the Northeast. If anyone is willing to help put me in touch with members or host me for a round, please get in touch! (livingasalinksgolfer@gmail.com)


The second bit of good news is that, after three years of trying, I will finally be playing a round in a few months at Loch Lomond Golf Club. The course is the former host of the Scottish Open, and I couldn't be more excited to play there. A blog post with lots of good pictures will certainly be following the round.

As for the next golf trip, I am hoping to make it up towards Aberdeenshire with my ever-present golf buddy Matt to play a round or two... More to come on that!

Best,
Graylyn

  3. If you ever find yourself in the Pacific Northwest, let me know. Bandon Dunes in Oregon and Chambers Bay here in the Seattle area are fantastic.
