    Great! Now I'm incredibly jealous. I've got the itch to play in Scotland again. I've been to North Berwick a couple of times and played the more well-known course on the West side of town, but like you I've never played The Glen. In a strange coincidence, the fellow who fit me for my new golf clubs this Spring lived in North Berwick when he was young and his father was a member and won the Club Championship twice at The Glen. I'll be playing The Glen on my next trip to Scotland in honour of my fitter, but doubly so now after your video. Also here is hoping that Kilspindie is also on Scotland's Less Obvious.

    I rarely comment on youtube. I just commented on another video saying you had gained a subscriber. Now i find this video!!! Gives me goosebumps. Little backstory. I'm from Austin, TX. I'm married to a perfect lady from Scotland. I've been lucky enough to go and visit family in scotland on multiple trips. This course is always my 1st or second that I play EVERY TIME i am there. It was my very first round that I played straight off the plane when I flew over to suprise my then girlfriend. Same trip when I proposed. I can still see so many of the holes in my mind. I can't wait to binge this whole series. One of my favorite things to do when I go to scotland is to sign up for some of the loacl tourneys. It is a fantastic way to play some outstanding courses for pennys on the dollar. I played Machrihanish for 30 pounds a few years back. Some with royal aberdeen and some smaller known courses. Please do more and more of these under appreciated gems. Another of my favorites is Braid Hills in Edinburgh. Great track, good value and you can't beat the scenery overlooking Edinburgh from a hill top.
    Keep up the great work.

    The Glen was the first course I played in East Lothian 10 years ago Andy. Booked the West Course, birthday treat for the Monday. Early Sunday morning set off from York to the Glen, where the wife and I had breakfast before I teed it up there. Wind was stronger, my poor wife was my caddie. My 4 iron to the 13th just made the front of the green into that wind. Fantastic place, agree with you 100 %. Great vlog again, you capture the soul of golf so well. Well done Andy 👏👏👏

Coast, Dunbar, Berwick law, country, farm, villages and the salmon coloured roofs. And in winter the sun shone on you. Amazing golf experience!! The proper price and not the grossly overpriced of the rest of them. Stole through fraud by 3 devious rats and now a caravan park. Your vlogs are great viewing & 10/10. Cheers.
