A review of Golf in the Wild

In truth, it is difficult to say more about this book without resorting to either unnecessary hyperbole or outright pleading on behalf of the author, so let pictures paint a few words; they say never to judge a book by its cover, but maybe this is an exception. Admittedly the front cover carries a typical golf-in-the-highlands photo of the Sgurr of Eigg as seen from the third green at Traigh Golf Club near Arisaig – nothing at all wrong with that, since you ask; but flip over and look at the picture strip accompanying the synopsis on the back. There’s the Sphinx, a 1960s racing car, and Killin Railway Station in the age of steam alongside the more orthodox golf pics. Flick through the chapter heads and see the little quotes that accompany the title…Jacques Brel, da Vinci, Bob Dylan, Dickens. Now you’re starting to get a glimpse of where Robin Down will be taking you as you follow him on his golfing journey. “Golf in the Wild” is quirky, no doubt about it, and a right good read for golfer and non-golfer alike. Don’t put it back on that shelf.

A morning ride from Hexham to Allendale - the long way round via Haltwhistle and Plenmeller. Windy and darn cold for June. #triumphmotorcycles #scrambler #northumberland #whitfield #ride5000miles #countryroads

A frosty start to 2020 in deepest Northumberland

Christmas markets are compulsory in Salzburg, as are Mozart and the Sound of Music. The latter leaves me at a disadvantage having steadfastly refused to ever watch it - well, Tom Waits it ain't.

Some people are better prepared than others.

Finally made it above the snow line.

Arrived in Mondsee

The most instructive fun you can have on a motorcycle, anywhere! Great day at i2imca.com - already booked to go back in 2020.
