Top 100 scoTland 2015 MY SECRETS OF SCOTLAND By Andrew Coltart The 1999 Ryder Cup player grew up playing in elite amateur events around the country. He selects 10 of his favourite lower-profile courses - with an emphasis on fun, short-ish tracks. Kilspindie A brilliant, fun little gem with outstanding holes and fantastic views of the Firth of Forth. Just leave your slice at home! Ladybank A strong course with a big emphasis on accuracy and strategy. I played there in the British youths in 1988 and absolutely loved it. L u f n e s s not overly long but has recently been extended; it’s a clever design using bunkers and dead ground to confuse the golfer. Very exposed to the elements. I qualified for the Muirfield Open of 2002 there, by shooting 61 – a new course record. Archerfield Dirleton It’s true that I’m a member here but I like and admire DJ Russell as an architect. A clever, exposed golf course, it is well bunkered of the tee but fair around the green which means it’s playable in all conditions. Thornhill This is where I grew up as a kid, so obviously I am a bit biased. It’s limited by available land, but is a short fun course to play, where each nine returns to the clubhouse so you don’t have to be out all day to enjoy your game. Cawder I remember loving this course when I was a young lad. played it several times but that was over 20 years ago so it just shows you how impressed I was by it. Powfoot Another course from my native South of Scotland; it was always a strong stern test for any golfer. From the threat of out of bounds right at the 1st, the pressure was always on to score well. Love it (as well as its better-known neighbour Southerness). Golspie played it only once, and it was 14 years ago, but I can remember how good it was to this day. I recall thinking it’s a shame it’s so far north so isn’t more widely recognised. A lovely old design, it was great fun to learn and play. Blairgowrie (Lansdowne) Another long time ago amateur event, it was ‘keyhole tight’ in places. I loved how the slashers had no chance around here. Had to keep it in play. Dunbar On Scotland’s Golf Coast, this is a strong course always exposed to the winds whipping East Lothian. Important to control the ball flight and distances, I have fond memories of it because I won the Scottish Boys title here in ’86. n Andrew Coltart is a European Tour winner who played in the 199 Ryder Cup, won the Dunhill Cup and is now a commentator for Sky Sports and a director of bespoke coaching experts TPEGS (TPEGS.com). Blairgowrie’s Lansdowne course, where accuracy is key. 20 Golf World TOp 100 SCOTLAnD 2015
