Old
Tom Morris believed that Machrihanish was designed by the almighty
for playing golf. Then again Old Tom must have been his accomplice
as he was very much involved in the design of this classic links
situated on the tip of the Mull of Kintyre.
If it were
not for its isolated position Machrihanish would have hosted
major championships. The first hole is one of the finest anywhere
in the world, a dogleg par 4 called Battery and not unreasonably,
has been described as the premier opening hole in Scotland.
