Two of Scotland's favourite golfing sons both have good reason to have
fond memories of West Wales. For, in the space of seven years, Bernard Gallacher
and Sam Torrance both recorded their first professional victories in the area
and, by a remarkable coincidence, they both came at Ashburnham.
Situated
five miles west of the rugby stronghold that is Llanelli, Ashburnham is rightly
regarded as one of the best links courses in the whole of Britain and is one of
the many reasons why a golfing trip to West Wales is well worthwhile.
The
area is simply blessed with excellent courses and another to put on the 'must
visit' list is Tenby, where the first properly constituted club in the whole of
Wales was founded in 1888.
