In No.10 travel disruptions strike fear in to a father and son as they cling on to the hope of making their Old Course tee time. Murray Bothwell pens a letter to golf and asks the question of why we play the game. A trip to Machrihanish and the unknown as Sam Lowes Raby throws caution to the wind to tee it up with a bunch of strangers in Golf, Guinness and the Ghost of Old Tom. A weakness for charity shops and what you might find hidden among the tat has Richard Pennell searching for forgotten clubs in Dearly Preloved. Stewart Fotheringham has been the greenkeeper at Shiskine on the Isle of Arran since the day he left school. He's never known another job. "I'm an artist and Shiskine is my Canvas." All of this and more in The Links Diary No.10
