MUST PLAY - North Berwick
Golf Monthly|February 2023
The East Lothian coast is home to one of the most concentrated stretches of fine links courses both ancient and modern anywhere in the world. No trip to the region is complete without a visit to North Berwick's West Links, looking out over Bass Rock and the Firth of Forth, where there's a real sense that precious little has changed over the last 190 years.
JEREMY ELLWOOD
MUST PLAY - North Berwick

Dating back to 1832 and believed to be the 13th oldest course on the planet, this wonderfully natural links has been drawing in golfers from all over the world in ever-increasing numbers, so much so that 2023 tee times are set to prove highly elusive, if not impossible, to come by. In 2011, I wrote that the green fees were £85-£95; now they are £200, an increase way above that period's cumulative inflation of 1.44 per cent. So, what has created such demand?

Is it Time for the Presidents Cup to Be Scrapped? - The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue?

The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue? Why would anyone even suggest such a drastic course of action? It may sound harsh, but since the inaugural event in 1994, the International team has managed just one victory and one tie while the American team has won 12 times, including nine straight from 2005. It is 26 years since the International team's solitary success in 1998 at Royal Melbourne under the captaincy of the late Peter Thomson.
