Craighead Links at Crail

There has been a golf club at Crail almost as long as the United States has been a country. Founded in 1786, The Crail Golfing Society originally played on a nine hole course in town, then in 1895, Tom Morris designed the Balcomie Links which is one of my favorite course in Scotland. In 1998 a second course, Craighead Links, designed by Gil Hanse, was added. It is a longer, harder course than the original, but it is not as picturesque. I bumbled along to a mediocre 94, but Barbara broke 100 for the first time. She has great memories of Crail as this is where she also got her first birdie.
