Club Champion Steve Friend and former Champion Bob Forster Visit Scotland

DATELINE Scotland - May 2008

Bob Forster and I just returned from a golf vacation to Scotland.  In a word it was magnificent.  We played 15 golf courses in the 10 days we were there, including the Old Course at St. Andrews and Carnoustie and we planned the entire trip ourselves. 
 
I wanted any Men's Club member who is interested in visiting Scotland to know that he would be welcome to contact either one of us for help in planning their trip.  We used a book that we would recommend to facilitate the process and would be happy to offer suggestions.
