Puddle Jumpers, Ferries and Coach Transport on Golf Trips

After touring Western Scotland Islands with my Verma Cup golfing mates last week, you learn a lot about different transportation modes. Ferries to play Shiskine, Machrihanish, Dunaverty, Machrihanish Dunes and The Machrie. Scottish ferry terminal names roll off your tongue like a brogue—Kennacraig, Claonaig, Port Ellen, Ardrossan and Brodick. There is also coach transport that is vital for such trips to transport big luggage, golf clubs, crisps and beer. And a puddle jumper on Loganair may suit. Is it worth the efforts to stick handle, be early for ferries, worry about fog etc.? An emphatic Yes. Staying at Ugadale Hotel near Campbeltown and walking across to play wild and tumbling Machrihanish is fantastic even in the hail and howling wind we experienced. The Machrie on Islay is especially brilliant for its hotel, beautiful links golf course and local famous whisky distilleries. While most travel throughout the Scottish mainland to get the St Andrews or Highlands fix, for those pilgrims who want to go off the beaten track where few go, I have an incredible custom golf tour for you!
