Highland Golf renaissance with Barclays Scottish Open Golf at Castle Stuart

It's good to see the growing excitement and hype around the upcoming Barclays Scottish Open.  Castle Stuart seem happy with the support they are getting from all quarters. Grant Sword says "The response from everyone we have approached for help in staging this event has been overwhelmingly positive" - and Castle Stuart have indeed approached lots of people, and done so much pro-active engineering behind the scenes.

Even Highland Council get strong praise for their active support!  Certainly, the recent announcement of £33k of financial support from the Council will be well received; given the likely visitor numbers, and the huge worldwide exposure, this seems a wise marketing spend.  Inverness City should benefit hugely, and the City Fathers + Councillors are working to ensure the place is smart and attractive for tall the visitors.

The event is likely to have a "wash" that spreads right across the Highlands - bringing economic benefit now, and in years to come.  And who knows, the really discerning golfers will come South to The Dragon's Tooth Golf Course www.dragonstooth.co.uk and find the hidden joys of true, rural Highland Golf that lie just south of Fort William!!
