The golfers among them propably start to dream of the longer days ahead, and the relaxed enjoyment that is to come on those calm spring evenings strutting the fairways. With a catchment that stretches from Oban to Glencoe and then beyond Fort William and on round, well into Ardnamurchan, members of the Dragon's Tooth Golf Course - www.dragonstooth.co.uk - are said to be itching to swing the clubs again. And they will not have long to wait; here we are in Lochaber in later February, and it's now light until what, 6.30pm. If you get home from work quickly, there's time for a few holes before the dusk comes!
Yet let's not imagine that Winter is dry of golf. On those lovely, sunny and clear winter days, there are folk out on the fairways and in fact, the course has played on Summer Tees ALL WINTER! Golfers have come from Fort William Golf Course and Oban, to enjoy the comfort and style of the Ballachulish greens.Local's are not disuaded by rain either - it it true that some really prefer to play in a downpour?!
Weather wasn't too great for one of the Winter Competitions - The Stag's Head. Paul Mills, one of the members of the Joint Services Training Team in Ballachulish said "We had a really good day out this year, and it's good to see the new enthusiasm for this established trophy". David Crilley of Glenachulish organised the Cup and presented the award - and there was a drink or two in The Gathering Place Club House afterwards.
So, winter time isn't that bad after all, is it?
as sunny
