Bonnie Wee Golf launches the Old Tom Morris Trail<\/h3>\n

Introduction to the Old Tom Morris Trail by Golf Historian, Stephen Proctor<\/p>\n

\u201cIn golf, all roads lead to one man: Tom Morris, of St Andrews. During the 19th Century, as the Scottish game was coming of age, Old Tom spread the gospel of golf by travelling the length and breadth of the nation creating one devilishly fun course after another.<\/em><\/p>\n

From his earliest days at Prestwick, Old Tom demonstrated a gift for using the natural landscape to craft dastardly holes like the Alps, which even today strikes fear into the hearts of players facing the carry over that massive dune and the yawning Sahara Bunker.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Now, from the 200th anniversary of his birth, golfers can follow in the master\u2019s footsteps along the Old Tom Morris Golf Trail, playing memorable courses from the Outer Hebrides to the Highlands, down the coast to Fife and the Lothians, and through the west from Ayr to the Mull of Kintyre.<\/em><\/p>\n

Created by Bonnie Wee Golf, the Trail features eighteen classics designed or enhanced by Old Tom himself, from gems like Dornoch, Crail, and Cruden Bay to Open Championship stalwarts like Muirfield, Prestwick, and St Andrews.<\/em><\/p>\n

Play them all in one grand loop — beginning at Askernish on South Uist and ending at Machrihanish — or choose a loop of your own in the region of Scotland that speaks to your golfing soul. What better way to celebrate the birthday of the game\u2019s Grand Old Man?”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Old<\/a>To mark the 200th birthday of golf\u2019s greatest pioneer Old Tom Morris, Bonnie Wee Golf has created the official Old Tom Morris Trail.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

In 2021, Bonnie Wee Golf’s Dave Harris & Stewart Morrison embarked on this incredible golfing journey in May this year, playing all 18 golf courses in 18 days.<\/p>\n

The official start of the trail is Askernish in South Uist, part of the incredible Outer Hebrides and the official finish is Machrihanish on the iconic Mull of Kintyre. The Tom Morris Bar & Grill in St Andrews will be the trail’s halfway house. The Old Clubhouse Pub at Machrihanish will be the official 19th Hole of the Old Tom Morris Trail.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have carefully selected 18 Scottish golf courses that have been originally designed, slightly tweaked or masterfully enhanced by Old Tom. The below course list represents the official order of the Old Tom Morris Trail . . . .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
