HIGHLAND ESCAPE

A whole series of fascinating golf events are planned for 2001 at the Royal Marine and Links Hotels in Brora in the north of Scotland.

The golf course at Brora, designed by James Braid, is fast being rediscovered as one of the great treasures of Scottish links golf. It is a favourite of five-time Open Champion, Peter Thompson, who is a regular visitor and the Royal Marine Hotel is the home base for the ‘James Braid Golfing Society’ which honours the memory of another five-times Open Champion.

An interesting four-day qualifying and matchplay event – The Clynelish 4 Day Open will be played from July 31 – August 3. There will be two rounds of strokeplay qualifying and for the qualifier up to two days of matchplay golf.

On August 4 the course hosts the Brora Ladies Open over 18 holes of Medal competition.

Guests staying over the weekend of Sunday September 16 at either the Links Hotel or the Royal Marine will have included free entry into the Links Open at Brora which is open to men and lady golfers of all standards. A cocktail party before the event and a Gourmet Dinner on the Sunday evening are also part of the package.
