Why Glencoe and Dubai are so alike - great golf!

Is the KPMG's Golf Business Forum coming to Glencoe this year?  Evidently not, it's heading for the  Park Hyatt Dubai in April 2011.  I suppose the place does look a bit more impressive than the Golf Club House at another highland golf course - www.dragonstooth.co.uk/club_facilities.php . Well, never mind, this annual gathering of top brands and top golf businesses may come to the Outdoor Capital of the UK another year.  After all, OCUK and Fort William have a reputation for attracting major international events, like the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup  http://fortwilliamworldcup.co.uk

The 2011 Moutain Film Festival  www.mountainfilmfestival.co.uk is just over, and it maintains its reputation as a world-class event. 6 days of presentations, films and workshops attracting participants from across the Highlands of Scotland - and much, much further afield, too.  Some visitors even managed time out to enjoy quality golf with us in Glencoe!

Meanwhile, we're putting in a planning application for some sort of impressive concrete and glass structure to tower above the Glenachulish Mountains and our new, man-made lake at Ballachulish.  Dubai Golf, eat your heart out!
