What makes a Links Course a True Links Course?

Most people get it wrong. It's not just "near the ocean." It’s a 5-point manifesto built on soil, weather, and the absence of trees.

What club did you pack that never left the bag? Thread follows with the single item that saved my last trip. 👇

[Golf Links Logic @GolfLinksLogic]

The Links Trip Survival Kit: Your bag is 50% lighter if you know the ONE club to leave at home.

[Golf Links Logic @GolfLinksLogic]

The Links Logic: On exposed, sandy soil or thick rough, loft is your enemy. The high-lofted wedge you packed for your parkland course is useless. You only need one low-bounce option.

St Andrews making sure that the winner of the Claret Jug is going to earn it.

- Increased to 7,445 yards, an increase of 132 yards.
- New tees on 5, 6, 7 & 10.
- Iconic holes being changed.

Will the changes be a success to the 2027 Open?

@jamierkennedy @TheOpen Interesting to see if moving the 5th back to 605 yards means that any of the longer hitters will move away from hitting long iron

@BradleySKlein Wow, what a spectacle! How'd you play?

[Golf Links Logic @GolfLinksLogic]

@Western_Gailes What an amazing shot of a fantastic hole - not much fun in the left-side bunker!

If you could ONLY play 3 Links Courses for the rest of your life, which 3 are you picking?

My @GolfLinksLogic picks are:
1. Royal County Down (for the sheer rating).
2. Burnham & Berrow (for the welcoming feel).
3. Bandon Dunes (for the pure routing).

Reply with your 3 picks & let's see where the Links community stands.

5/5 (The Key): The land must have been unsuitable for agriculture. This is the core 'logic' that forces the raw, wild nature we love. This is what we hunt.

4/5: No Trees. Period. The land must be treeless. The only hazards should be natural: deep bunkers, gorse, and the ever-present fescue rough. The course exists because nothing else could grow there.
