For those that DM me on here, I am not ignoring you, I just couldn’t open them. Could you send again please 👌🏻

[Craig Boath @CraigBoath]

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at Carnoustie and I wish everyone connected with the Links nothing but the very best for the future.

Carnoustie will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will always be proud to have been part of it.

[Craig Boath @CraigBoath]

After nearly 30 years @carnoustiegolf it’s time to move on.
Thanks to everyone who has been part of my time at Carnoustie, the staff, the season ticket holders, the schools, the community groups, company representatives and salesmen, and the many friends I’ve made along the way.

[Craig Boath @CraigBoath]

To everyone who has helped me throughout my career and played a part in getting me to where I am today, I am truly grateful. I hope we can stay in touch, and please know I’ll always be there to offer guidance if it’s needed.

[Craig Boath @CraigBoath]

What can you say.
Funny, straight to the point, and above all a big friendly giant, he will be greatly missed.
It was a privilege to have known Ian, just a top class guy.
My thoughts are with his family, his friends, and all at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club.
Take it easy Big Man!

50 years ago today since the great @TomWatsonPGA won The Open at @carnoustiegolf
His first appearance in @TheOpen overcoming Jack Newton in an 18 hole play-off, the last time an 18 hole play-off was used. One of the nicest guys in golf to meet.

While we were out trying to capture more otter footage this week @carnoustiegolf Buddon Course, we stumbled upon an unexpected surprise - a badger! 🦡 Not something I have ever come across here before, and it certainly gave me quite a shock! Nature always finds a way to surprise us. 🦦 #OtterAdventures #WildlifePhotography #ScotlandWildlife #NatureSurprise
