Turnberry Hosts Inaugural Tour Operators’ CupThe management at Turnberry has a healthy regard for all those involved in the travel industry, recognizing that a successful business requires pro-active marketing to capitalize on great visitor attractions. Of course, there’s no better way to get to know a golf course than to play it, so this occasion provided an opportunity for a round on the Ailsa, as well as a chance to renew acquaintance with the wider facilities of the resort.Brunch on arrival hit the spot for those needing to stretch from a long car journey and tee times were allocated between noon and 2pm. That meant all 40 players got round in time to change for dinner (black tie in honor of the occasion), while the private room set aside for the evening ensured a clubby atmosphere at the table. Companies from five different countries were represented and the golf was enlivened by a long driving competition on the 18th for which all players had to use a hickory club (a 1920’s George Nicol replica). A big-hitting American achieved the longest drive with a monster of 280 yards, and, to the chagrin of the local Scots, a Sassenach from down south walked off with the Stableford prize. (His handicap will be closely scrutinized next year). Our thanks go to Stewart Selbie and his team for their generous hospitality and fine trophy. |
