I posted a comment previously. This is one of those pictures with a lot in it. I have seen it a couple times since commenting. For the first time, I want to go to Musselburgh. I have seen the ancient pictures in the Darwin and Hutchinson books, where it always looked like a wide open field. I have Google Earthed it and pieced the layout together. The course's place in Golf's history is hard to beat; The Parks versus the Morrises, the fistfights at matches. And yet, somehow, I never thought the course would be much more than a relic; or worse, an amusement. Musselburgh is contained by a racetrack, so, by nature it's contrived. I had developed a belief that it was like the infield of any racetrack in North America. It never interested me from a golf course design perspective. My own passion for golf starts there. And now, looking at this photo - taken on a high res camera mounted on a drone - it's clear to me how immensely modern technology will impact the golf industry. Now, Musselburgh interests me as a golf course . . . immensely. Enough that I want to play it with hickories, not as some kitschy throwback activity. I want to play these holes (that, design-wise, I'm liking more and more every time I inspect the details) with something approximating the same weapons used by Parks and Morrises. I suspect I would find a moment or two of deeper understanding in that. A sudden thirst to jump back centuries. Made possible by a drone and a very creative photographer whose thirst was triggered first.
1672 was a long time ago… Back then some gentlemen got together and thought they would hit a small white bunch of feathers around an open piece of land with a stick made of hickory with the aim being to get the ball into a small hole often hundreds of metres away. Sounds fun right? Well that was the birth of the game that we all love (and hate at times) - GOLF. Visiting Scotland created in me a strong desire to go back to where it all began and that was at Musselburgh Links (@mocgc_links1672) on the outskirts of Scotland. This 9 hole course is widely regarded as the birthplace of golf. The course is still in operation and you can play a round with hickory sticks and gutta percha balls. Kind of fun really. The only think different about the place now is there is a functioning racetrack around the golf course. I captured these aerial images on a beautiful Scottish morning. Enjoy and let me know if you have been here to play. Musselburgh Links features in my new book Great Golf Courses of the World - https://lnkd.in/ggfyeb2w .

FIX SWING DIRECTION BEFORE CLUB PATH‼️ Most golfers think of fixing their club path to get rid of their slice. However, looking solely at club path isn’t the best option. Instead, addressing the swing direction should be the first priority after ensuring you have a square clubface👌🏾 Swing direction tells us the general plane we swing the golf club on which can give us a better picture of our golf swing. Club path only defines the small moment at impact the club is swinging on and takes into consideration your attack angle. If you fix your swing direction first, then club path will be fixed simultaneously. For slicers, getting that swing direction more in to out will help you to reduce the club path from being so far out to in, producing a penetrating fade👊🏾 COMMENT DOWN BELOW IF THIS WAS HELPFUL.
