North Berwick West Links: The Old Tom Trails
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2021
- North Berwick West Links evolved from a small stretch of common ground in this small coastal town in East Lothian, and grew significantly throughout the 19th century. Since then, the routing has remained largely unchanged. For all other films please head to www.cookiejarg...
Golf began all the way back in 1611 at North Berwick when a rudimentary version of the game was played across a small stretch of common land, and from there - The links expanded westward, taking advantage of ground from local landowners who could not find suitable use for the links land we now enjoy. That gradual encroachment allowed the course to extend to 18 holes. Contributors over time include Tom Dunn, Davie Strath and local club maker Ben Sayers.
North Berwick is a site of worship for today's GCA community, and it's easy to get wrapped up in the hyperbole when you visit. It's a unique and special place. The vibe is not stuffy, it's a community links, enjoyed by all, and whilst the visiting green fee is now every high (owing to global notoriety), the members who are fortunate to belong to one of the clubs in the town can enjoy unfettered access to this wild golfing playground all year round.
Whenever I play with friends I haven't seen for a while, I tell them about Cookie Jar Golf. I hope word-of-mouth continues to boost your following. Richly deserved. I recently played (the now saved) Cleeve Hill with Mungo Park. It was as memorable in real life as on your video.
Yes!!! 🙌 thanks Michael - it really does help boost things for us! Cleeve is great fun - we played Painswick last week which is often talked about in feb same sentence but the two are poles apart. 👌
@@CookieJarGolf A group of us are planning a short tour next year to Cleeve Hill, Painswick and Minchinhampton - Cotswold golf. Look forward to the Painswick video.
I was a member of North Berwick Golf Club from 1977 until I migrated to Australia in 2004.
I promise you that barely a day goes by that I don’t reminisce about the wonderful days playing my favourite course in the world. It was such a privilege and I miss it terribly.
Thank you or that lovely video and I am not ashamed to admit I teared up a bit.
These videos mean a lot, to a person who loves the history of the game, but will never be able to afford to go play them.
My wife and I flew from Texas to Edinburgh and stayed at Gleneagles for our honeymoon. We fell in love with the UK , the lovely people, the stunning scenery, and the brilliantly designing golf courses that scream of skill and history. We simply don’t have that in the States. Thanks for making videos that take me back to the UK every time I watch!
Thanks David! Yes, I must admit golfing culture in UK really is special
I just love your videos, I find myself rewatching them in the hope I can play these fine courses. Top work gents.
Thanks Iain! Hopefully a lot more films to come in due course
Another fine piece created by golf enthusiasts for the same minded community! Have you already been there you´ll love the coverage, haven´t you, you´ll put in on your bucket list

Crushed it again, gents! Very well done as always. A day at North Berwick was one of my favorite golf experiences; you captured the essence of the place - which is top class all around - so well.
Thanks Shawn - it’s definitely on of the 🐐‘s 👌👌

Thanks Scott!
Best compliment I can give is the video made me emotional and nostalgic for a course I’ve never been to.
Please keep these special videos coming.
Signed,
A hopeless golf romantic in California

I was hoping you guys would cover North Berwick & what a tremendous job you have done.
We were just as glad! It was on the bucket list for Sam & Tom, and it did not disappoint. It’s got such a great story and incredibly photogenic 👍👍
A very special place beautifully described.

Love it gents! Great work that has me swearing both Brexit and Covid. To be so close yet so far from all that great golf and not allowed to visit...tragic. I think I know about 50 guys that want to be the gentleman that was guiding you through the round. Most of them play hickories.
Haha! Thanks, you know 50 NB members - I don’t think we know 50 people in total lol! Hopefully you’ll get there soon when travel opens back up again!
another finely done video! thanks again gents!
Thanks Burton ✌️🤙
Such a cool place 😍
Well shot mate 👊👊

Ccokie Jar Golf, are you using the three books of Finegan? -> All courses seem to do...
I hope something happens to you Guys I really do you deserve it the love of the Games pours out of your videos.....ps you can't miss Malcolm that cigar and his attire is his trade mark 🥃⛳️
