Last Word: Golf in Color Edition

Last year, I treated myself to a grand tour of Scotland and played a majority of the country’s most celebrated courses. Frankly, I have seldom spent a more blissful two weeks. I enjoy cloudless skies and warm sunshine as much as anyone, and I have spent many contented hours on manicured tracks in California, Georgia and all points south. But there is something about a Scottish links course that is uniquely conducive to Harper happiness. I love striding through the tussocky grass, listening to the cries of the gulls and the crash of the surf while being buffeted by the wind gusting off the North Sea. And I don’t mind if it rains, because that will just make a post-round single malt seem all the more ambrosial. Anyway, I trust that you will find my report both entertaining and informative. Later this year, you will receive two additional color supplements devoted to cruises and safaris. My primary mission is still to find and to review superior hideaway hotels, but, henceforth, I also intend to write more about the wider world of travel. I hope that these supplements will be as enjoyable to read as they were to produce.
