A Greenside Chat: "The Story of Nairn Golf Club" ~ A Terrific Links in the Scottish Highlands 

Enjoyed the Greenside Chat about Nairn Golf Club. I must share a long and telling story of my experience there in 1995 while touring Scotland with Colin Dalgleish. We arrived late morning as a 3 ball group and were told there were no caddies available. After twenty minutes or so a gentleman approached us and asked if we would use his son and he as our caddies. He admitted he "was familiar with the course" but his son had never caddied. We said "fine, lets give it a try" and off we marched. Nairn is beautiful and a wonderfully challenging track. Having caddied as a young man I wanted to help instruct the boy on what to do and where to stand. My 75 year old step-father enjoyed the help of the senior man who carried "doubles" for about half the holes. As we headed up the last hole I told the man how much we enjoyed the course and thank you for saving the day for my aging step-father and uncle. He then dropped a surprise on us that we will never forget. He said if you are interested would you be my guest for a sandwich and a pint in the clubhouse? He said he was the Club Secretary of Nairn and would enjoy showing us his pride and joy. Needless to say, I will never forget such hospitality and humility. Nairn is a must play course and the "Highland Hospitality" is genuine!
