Turnberry Golf Course

A belated happy new year to you all...With the festive season over my exhibition deadlines are fast approaching...last week I was mainly painting so it was a welcome break to get out yesterday for some good scottish fresh air.

After a short drive down the coast my partner Evlar and I decided to walk the Ayrshire Coastal Path that runs through Turnberry Golf Course...the game of golf took up many a weekend in my past as a hacking amateur..,

I know it became an obsession...Even watching the TV with Peter Alliss presenting Pro Celebrity Golf from Turnberry...My favourite hole was the 9th on the Ailsa course named "Bruce's Castle" which is historically linked and named after Robert The Bruce...

Standing on the back tee with the thoughts of that tee shot over the rocks brought it all back...

On a arty note as my new paintings dry I shall post a selection here on my blog...
