Opening the door to Boris Lietzow’s shop in the heart of Gullane is like stepping back in time. You are immediately surrounded by a forest of colourful hickory clubs, stretching from floor to ceiling. The sweet smell of spirit varnish and the mustiness of the leather pulls you further inside until you spot Boris, the light streaming in through a nearby window onto his workbench where he’s carefully rubbing down the tip of a hickory shaft.

This is the story of a man who embraces golf, and in particular the specialism of hickory.

Our community play in all weather, you have to when it comes to links golf. So we’ve partnered with KJUS, the best clothing and outerwear in the game. It’s another proud moment for us.

Storytelling that celebrates the soul of the game is our passion. To have KJUS believe in our mission and be part of our journey is an honour. We look forward to our partnership and what it will bring to the best community in the game.

Something special about having a caddy by your side.

An extra set of eyes, someone who knows the course inside out, and someone to have a little banter with while taking on the Links.

Level up your experience next time you play with one of our caddies.

Going back to matching her ability on the course with the abilities required of a caddie, does Abby find herself offering swing thoughts to her golfer, as well as alignment tips, given that she is a pretty capable golfer herself? It must be difficult not to? “Sometimes, I will,” she says thoughtfully. “I can often gauge the kind of player I have and if they can appreciate the comment, then I will offer some ideas. However, sometimes you can get customers who don’t want a swing thought half-way round that’ll screw up their swing, whereas others I have given them tips and they’ll be like “Oh my God, that’s amazing.” How long does it take for Abby, in caddie mode, to get the measure of her golfer? “I’ve normally got it nailed by the third hole,” she says confidently. “I can tell you that I had Kenny’s bag nailed by the second hole (which says something for Kenny’s game, of course, and this can be seen in the film on the website which accompanies this article). So I can gauge it pretty quick. But, for a good caddie, there is nothing worse than having a very high handicap golfer and all you’re doing is handing them a hybrid all the way round the course. Are they getting the best experience from their caddie? Perhaps not. It’s actually worse when you’ve got golfers who use iron covers too, because it’s just one more thing to lose out on the course!” I laugh, but with a hint of trepidation as to what’s coming. “There’s nothing more embarrassing than when you’ve lost someone’s head-cover and you’re running back over the holes you’ve been playing to try and find it!”

What makes Scottish golf so matchless? Yes, there are the famous links situated on some of the rarest ground on earth. The high cathedrals of golf in Scotland – The Old Course, Prestwick, Dornoch, Muirfield, and Troon - are names known to anyone who has more than a casual relationship with the game. For me, what sets Caledonian golf apart are the smaller, hidden courses – almost always not on the way to anywhere - like Gairloch, Carradale, Leadhills, Whiting Bay and Aberfoyle. Places that take a special effort to reach. Places that reward that extra effort with golf in its most pure and unadulterated form.

The people of these proud, smaller clubs are a large part of their charm. As a visitor, especially a foreign one, you are likely to be treated like royalty. There is genuine concern from local members that you have fun and enjoy their course. This is not something that can be faked. It is sincere and real. It is the Scottish way. Aberfoyle is the perfect example of this ancient, and still extant, way.

It is not quite the “hell mouth” trap door I had in mind, but still, the portal into the headquarters of The Stage Golfing Society is very much tucked away in the basement of Richmond Golf Club’s Palladian mansion. As the door upon which the society emblem hangs creaks open, it feels as if we are stepping into another realm in the company of the society’s Honorary Secretary, John Peters.

We peer around “The Stage Room”, Matt and I - at the delightful Tom Webster cartoons; at the vast trophy cabinet, full of strange, glinting objects. And as John begins a well-rehearsed and delightful potted history of “The Stage”, we take in the gold leaf records of the giant honours boards, and smile at each notable pot-hunter. Sir Laurence Olivier, Sean Connery. Sir Gerald Hubert Edward Busson du Maurier, Daphne’s father (although the signwriter was only initially briefed with Gerald du Maurier, with the knighthood for his services to the theatre coming in 1922).

Greats from the second half of the 20th century such as Gary Player, Tom Watson and Tony Jacklin have also visited, while from the modern game Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy and Bubba Watson have all tested their mettle over this classic links course.

[The Links Diary @thelinksdiary]

Muirfield Golf Club, home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers (HCEG), is arguably the greatest championship venue in existence. It is also the most perfectly conditioned golf course that I have ever experienced. The first time I played the fabled East Lothian links in the mid-1990’s, I was in awe. On the 5th green, I exclaimed excitedly to my caddie,

“These greens are like Augusta!”

Seemingly offended, he stared back at me and responded, as serious as an Edinburgh judge.

“These greens are better than Augusta, Sir.”

Sometime in the late 1960’s, when a group of Perthshire holidaymakers started the annual Iona Open, the golfers of Iona started jokingly calling themselves the Honourable Company of Iona Golfers (HCIG). Visitors are allowed 365 days a year at Iona Golf Course. A day ticket - which might include a tin of Tennent’s if you run into a friendly local member - is free.

There is an annual fixture between these two clubs. Imagine if the manager of Glasgow Rangers (or Celtic) showed up for a Saturday match at the pitch in Lochgilphead and subsequently invited the local football club to a friendly annual game in Ibrox Stadium. (or Celtic Park) That is what this is like.
