This is my kind of golf. I know it’s somewhat anti golf social but I absolutely love playing alone and carrying my clubs. I’m 64, been playing 52 years. It’s part of my DNA at this point in life. Going to the golf course is like going to church for me. I feel a very deep connection with the nature and outdoors aspect of it all. Great video and thank you for sharing.
My friend, I could not agree more. You have summed up my feelings perfectly. Yes, I enjoy playing with friends and especially with my sons. But I am never happier than playing on my own even/especially when the weather has put off 99% of the fair weather brigade. If you are uk based, try travelling to Perthshire t play the gorgeous Killin GC. It’s a beautiful 9-holes which looks like a pitch and putt until you actually play it. Stand on the elevated 6th tee looking down into Glen Lochay on one side and Glen Ogle on the other and listen to the buzzards and eagles crying on the wind. Life does not get better, trust me
Have always wanted to play a Scottish course, but at 76 that's unlikely, living in Canada doesn't help much either. But playing late in the season, alone, is something I identify with. I managed a last game here in Toronto on Nov 28th, this year. Just me and the course. Loved it.
Andy what a great video, it brought back so many memories. In May 1999 I played 54 holes at Royal Dornoch, 36 on the Championship course and then 18 on the Struie. I won with 38 points off 12 in the morning, won another £20 in the fourballs in the afternoon and then a tenner in a three ball in the evening. A couple of beers in the clubhouse and then walked back with my playing partners- Paul Burden and Johny Midd, to our hotel in the town. The weather was fantastic, the course probably the best I’ve played in the UK, and it was light until nearly 23.00 hrs, we had a truly glorious day together plus I won so a perfect golfing day. Just writing this takes me back to a time when we were all younger and playing, and of course walking, 36 holes a day around links courses, alternating each May between Ireland and Scotland for 5 days was what we did then! The particular day at Royal Dornoch was so good that the three of us just had to play the extra 18 on the Struie. Sadly, several of the group are now playing par golf on that great golf course somewhere in the universe, they are all missed. Paul and John, my playing partners in the evening, are also no longer with us but as I write this the memory of us shaking hands on the 18th as dusk was nearly with us, walking back together to the hotel in the town, reliving our day, good shots and bad, with our clubs still slung across our shoulders, then having a few beers in the evening before battle commenced again in the morning. It brings a very big tear to my eye, and I can’t help but remember them both very fondly. Look what you’ve done Andy! 25 years later I click on another AVG video looking for some light golfing relief and I end up replaying in my mind a truly great day at Royal Dornoch GC with a great group of guys but welling up when I think of my missing mates on the 18th at the end of the day. Andy, bravo to you and your team at the AVG, and thanks for another great video, you have a very unique style and content so good luck with the channel and keep up the good work. RIP Paul and John.
So nice to read this comment and that our video can evoke such fond memories albeit your friends have moved on, let’s hope they are waking the fairways smiling down
I am very happy that you played Royal Dornoch. I played it on my first trip to Scotland decades ago and think that it is still the most beautiful golf courses in the world. I hope to get back and play it some day in the future! Thanks for sharing!
I live in Dornoch and Im always interested in videos of the Championship Course and yours is by far the best I’ve watched. . You’ve really captured the essence of the club and town. Great work.
What a beautiful course. A long trip for you Andy, but from your first tee shot you couldn't get the smile of your face and that's what a good golf course should do...make you smile! Thanks for take us with you.
Of all the great courses in the World, this is the one I'd most like to play. I've walked along that beautiful deserted beach, sneaking a look at the course when I could. You've definitely done it justice, beautiful cinematography, well done!
Oh no I said to myself, "Is it time to quit?" the title read. Luckily it was just referring to the On the Road series entering winter. I'm relieved as your channel has a much appreciated variety driving it. Thank you, From the standard equipment reviews to the On the Road videos, to Testing the Tips, it's always Fresh! And I have to mention the music - very creative. So keep it going Andy. OK, 'that's me done' - Michigan, USA
Sorry Hannah, it's Andy A this weeks photo. Good to see you at one of your bucket list golf courses Andy. What a golf course. Simply stunning from every angle. The digs too, you can see they cater for the USA golf market, a number of steps above compared to the usual hotels or B&B's, no disrespect to anyone in the hostelry business, but quality like that comes at a price. Not for the faint-hearted, I bet. Another boss video Andy and Hannah, more quality scenery, top drawer. Andy, travelling up there in the winter, is always a huge gamble, I speak from the frightening experience of a close call, nearly being trapped in deep snow, lucky for me, the land rovers 4 wheel drive, is better equipped than most vehicles out there, to get out of some problems, but not all, icy snow is dangerous for everyone, even with 4x4 traction. We had blankets etc, but not equipped to stay in deep drifting snow for days, we could have been buried in a snow drift, somewhere, had we carried on. Luckily, as snow began falling in England, getting deeper by the hour, we listened to the alerts, on the radio, at each stage, they were warning of roads ahead possibly being closed, but nothing concrete, but they later stated that there was an even worse weather front, full of snow, coming in. The trip home was rather hair- raising, snow had fallen almost the entire journey home, with snow ploughs and gritters trying to keep motorways open, we arrived home, shaken but safe. Having driven over 100,000 miles a year for a number of years, this was a close one. To prove that we had been careful, we had checked the forecast the day before, and as we yhome that day. Nothing to worry about, maybe a light dusting of snow, but it was nothing like the one that hit us, as a huge Siberian cold front rushed into a warmer wetter front, lots of snow and ice, with strong winds, recipe for disaster. MET office do get it wrong, sometimes, luckily we stopped before going too far into the wilderness, but still a close enough call to thank our lucky stars. It was later deemed dangerous for over a week, with many roads completely closed, impassible. We went back when the weather improved, with NO snow reported all week, safer to do it later, rather than risk the dangers that lay ahead that night. Summer golf is easy, winter golf in the highlands, requires careful planning, and even then, there are no guarantees, as we found out. As Robert the Bruce's adapted words mentioned Andy, the best laid plans of mice and men, often go awry, seeing as you were up in the highlands, very poignant. You struck lucky under the circumstances, being caught up there in very rough weather, is something we cannot trust to fate. Luv to all. Thanks again for the content, Andy and Hannah.
Played RD this summer and genuinely one of the best looking golf courses I have ever played, especially in May with the yellow gorse in full bloom. Still looks amazing in winter. What a place!
Another mouthwatering vlog. I had the great pleasure of playing Royal Dornoch about 40 years ago Andy, on a beautiful Summer afternoon. Still one of my favourite golfing memories. Best photo in my opinion is Andy's photo C.
That drive up the A9 brings back memories, so I'm glad you made it! Hope you kept going North as there are plenty more courses up there worth a visit. Well done and 'haste ye back!'
Likely to be on most golfers list. Golf is not just about the score it's about the land it's played on and the joy that gives and you always make the best of any course
A wonderful video of a fantastic course. The views, the history, the lodging, everything. Just wish you could go back and do it again in warm weather when you could use the fairways. Gorgeous and inspiring.
Another amazing course. Thank you for sharing it with us!! Some day I hope to travel across and play a few of the courses that you have shown us. Great job Andy!!!
Hannah C - Been on my Bucket List forever, Andy. This is about as good as it gets for camera work. Particularly liked the drone footage of the frosty fairways. Just brilliant.
Oh the joys of winter links golf. Low sun, long shadows and hip flask at the ready. Looks like you were awe struck on one of the great natural links so well worth the arduous journey. BTW mats are essential to protect the turf when there is no growth and divot mix won't take. They're fine to play off I've been doing it for years, beats muddy fairways. All the photo's were great but Hannah C for me .
I've seen this course a few time on You Tube. Never looked that special. However, you and Hannah made it look stunning. Not exactly hidden, but a true gem all the same,
Photo of the week for me Andy is andya, terrific course, added to my own list, which is getting longer and longer, thanks to you. Superbly videoed, what a stunning place. All the best Andy and Hannah, keep up the great work.
So glad you and Hannah made it safely to Dornoch. Such a great course, the finest I’ve ever played. I have to go with Andy C this time. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Hi Andy, i was up there the week before you and stayed at the Links House. It was superb and we also played Tain and no mats around there and it was in very good condition.lovely part of the world up there. Great video once again.
Thank you for this. The drone shots of the course with frost on it were amazing. I've had the pleasure of playing Royal Dornoch in 2016 and 2019 both rounds in July with much nicer weather than you had. 8-) I played it while it was still under £200 to play too. Golf is getting very dear these days to play these top courses. Royal Dornoch is my favourite "hard" course to play, but yet you end up feeling that it is also a fair one too. It is a bit of a haul to get to, as Andy shows, but it is well worth the journey. Remember while you're in Dornoch to get the haggis at Southerland House, visit Castle Close Antiques, and enjoy some Indian food at Highland Spice. Oh and the photo of the week was close, but sorry Andy my choice is Hannah B.
absolutely stunning and you do a brilliant job showing us these top courses but there's an awful lot of us 'average' golfers that can't afford these great tracks even off season!
Glad you didn't give up this week Andy, that was a stunning course. Good to see the pic of the week too. Myself & 'er indoors (Kay) both agreed Andy A was the winner, closely followed by Hannah E. I've said it before, your videos are a relaxing escape from the winter weather. Keep em coming 😊
That was definitely a real bucket list course, Andy. I would imagine those greens could humble a golfer quite easily. I am going with Hannah B, although all the pics were great.
You frighten me there Andy when I read the title, (ANDY A for the photo but all where good). Looks great course, must be worth a visit with my son one day. Brilliant episode, love this series.
It’s the one golf course I didn’t get to actually play my last trip over this past July. We had a member who offered to host us back out at the last minute. Couldn’t make it work. I’ve been fortunate to play many brilliant places in Scotland, but Dornach remains #1 on the wishlist. I did stay in Dornach Station that night though, and it was fantastic fun, full of golfers eager to have a drink and chat for hours.
Probably one of my favourite videos. The course was stunning as was the hotel. Bit hard to choose a favourite photo this week but I will go with Andy c
Yet another stunning golf course that you have shared with us. Thank you for that. Surely one of the top ten in the UK and I agree that it would be hard to follow. Andy A for me this week..
Hi Andy played the course a few times before It’s terrific. Have also played with Neil Hampton the secretary he is a terrific golfer + 3 handicap when we played against each other I have since moved to the West Midlands and I am still a country member at Fortrose another terrific course you should play it’s just down the road from Dornoch one of the oldest courses in the world nice to se you again Neil
Lovely video great looking course. Would love to play that course on a day like that then dinner and a few bevvies in a local hotel…one of the joy of life!
Magnificent course and video. That hotel is pure class. I’m sure glad that you included a look at it. Andy, I would like to suggest you and Lewis for a Christmas special. 😉
Hey my friend, Hope you had a great thanksgiving and you and your family have an awesome Holiday season. Keep up the grind brother. You’re the only golfer that I support every month. Love the videos and golf and still loving the style of videos you are making. Keep in touch my friend. Jay M.
Amazing beauty! I had the good fortune of attending the 2014 US Open at Pinehurst #2 and i can see where Dornach had influence on Ross but the seascape on Dornach is unlike any I've ever seen... Even Pebble Beach is a distant second to the grandeur of the most beautiful Scottish course ever!🙂 Question sir: Why haven't they held an Open at this wonderous track?
I hope your not quitting mate. I love your videos. Would be great to play a round with you some time .. I play leasowe a bit. And I love links golf. I am a distance member at the lovely royal st David’s at Harlech.. stunning course. And o am with you, I don’t like the fairway mats… I prefer to play from the rough in winter.. 👍😂
Beautiful course Andy you and Hannah have captured it well. I would love to play it. Amazing you went through that weather and were able to have the conditions you had. Currently about a 2cm snow covering here in my bit of Canada.😢. Andy B wins for me.
Obviously Hannah Andy ... I'm not stoopid...... I found out the hard way that you never argue with the missus.... especially when they're wrong lol...🌟🎊🤩🥳
I plays Donald Ross designed golf courses here in North Carolina USA. It’s a 2 1/2 hour drive to Pinehurst. Ross designed Stryker Golf in Fayetteville, North Carolina. It’s an hour drive away from me. It needs restoration but the raised (false front greens are still a factor on that course). Mid Pines Golf near Pinehurst has a definite Ross design.
This is my kind of golf. I know it’s somewhat anti golf social but I absolutely love playing alone and carrying my clubs. I’m 64, been playing 52 years. It’s part of my DNA at this point in life. Going to the golf course is like going to church for me. I feel a very deep connection with the nature and outdoors aspect of it all. Great video and thank you for sharing.
I am 70 years old and I walk every day I play; even all Summer here in Kentucky! I have a Kangaroo Electric Pull Cart which allows me to keep walking.
My friend, I could not agree more. You have summed up my feelings perfectly. Yes, I enjoy playing with friends and especially with my sons.

There’s nothing better than being out on the course late in the day by yourself. Seriously 10 out of 10.
@@SimonS-D have you played St Fillans its also outstanding Sandy Lyle played there
Played 9 holes on my own on Monday afternoon, for the first time in a long time, loved it

@@michaelhatch1994 I hear you. Live in the Detroit area, November golf is a bonus and I love the lack of players.
Simply breathtaking ! Love the 'off the beaten track' series.
So do I!

Photo comp Andy E, gives a real sense of where this course lives in the world. Great video Andy & Hanna
Glad you enjoyed it
Andy all I needed was to have angels singing to complete the experience, Well Done!
Yes it seemed like heaven
A wonderful video of a fantastic course. The views, the history, the lodging, everything. Just wish you could go back and do it again in warm weather when you could use the fairways. Gorgeous and inspiring.
I hope to return next year
Another great video! I love hearing about the history of the courses each week. This week all of the photos were winners! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lucky enough to play Dornoch about 8 years ago (in summer) all the way from Australia . It was my no.1 choice.
Loved it. I hope to be back one day. :)
Stunning, everything about this video is why I love the game of golf...Cheers and many thanks
me too

Played it 3 years ago, very playable off the tee even for a 14 handicapper. Great fun
Fabulous scenery and a wonderful location. Andy, you certainly pick find some great golf courses to play. Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for doing what you do Andy. Also showing those beautiful golf courses. God bless from Tennessee
Thanks for watching
I've seen this course a few time on You Tube. Never looked that special. However, you and Hannah made it look stunning. Not exactly hidden, but a true gem all the same,

Loved the light on Andy A. Beautiful place and was definitely worth the trip.
Agreed
Never felt such a deep desire to play a golf course. Thank you for this video.
I want to go back already
So glad you and Hannah made it safely to Dornoch. Such a great course, the finest I’ve ever played.
I have to go with Andy C this time.
Looking forward to your next adventure.
Just an incredible looking course and you've done well to document its beauty. Well done
Many thanks
What a beauty, the sort of place that you leave part of your heart and soul at.
Absolutely
Hi Andy, i was up there the week before you and stayed at the Links House. It was superb and we also played Tain and no mats around there and it was in very good condition.lovely part of the world up there. Great video once again.

Yes I am glad too, it was an incredible few days
Great work again Andy. One of my favourite courses and great part of the world…. 😊
That was definitely a real bucket list course, Andy. I would imagine those greens could humble a golfer quite easily. I am going with Hannah B, although all the pics were great.
I’d like to play them int the summer
You frighten me there Andy when I read the title, (ANDY A for the photo but all where good). Looks great course, must be worth a visit with my son one day. Brilliant episode, love this series.
Fantastic film Andy, and that’s what these vignettes are now. The quality of the footage and editing is excellent.
Very flattering thanks
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Beautiful pics too
It’s the one golf course I didn’t get to actually play my last trip over this past July. We had a member who offered to host us back out at the last minute. Couldn’t make it work. I’ve been fortunate to play many brilliant places in Scotland, but Dornach remains #1 on the wishlist. I did stay in Dornach Station that night though, and it was fantastic fun, full of golfers eager to have a drink and chat for hours.
You must return, one of the best I have played and that was on the Winter course
What a fabulous spot 😮 I can understand how it makes your soul feel!!! 👍
I’ve said it before Andy but I really enjoy the way you narrate your videos, amazing looking course and back drop 👏👏
Thank you
What a great place, stunning, one of your best Andy.
Many thanks
Probably one of my favourite videos. The course was stunning as was the hotel. Bit hard to choose a favourite photo this week but I will go with Andy c
What a beautiful place to play golf, this was how golf was meant to be played and they could only all be similar to this
agreed
I can tell you enjoyed that Andy. Magical weather to enjoy a magical place 👍🏌️🏴
Great video Andy, beautiful course, well worth the effort to play. On my bucket list.
Keep up the great content Andy. I went to play Moortown on Sunday 1st December. It was a lovely, sunny day.
Glad you got a good day mate
Hello Andy, what a Journey to your final destination. But the video again, just amazing. Please keep doing what you do. 😊😊😊
Not the final destination just yet......see you next Monday
Stunning videography, probably even better than the best from Peter Finch's channel! Bravo!
Yet another stunning golf course that you have shared with us. Thank you for that. Surely one of the top ten in the UK and I agree that it would be hard to follow. Andy A for me this week..
Glad you enjoyed it
Gosh Andy. You and Hannah do produce some excellent quality videos. Well done.
Many thanks!
The joy of the game...Thanks for the tour Andy, no one cares about score...I wouldn't if I could ever get there.
agreed
Played Royal Dornoch 25 years ago, great course, wonderful memories
Amazing place
What an amazing course. Just love the Andy b photo. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great courses and lovely hotel; hope to play again one day....perhaps not in the winter!
Hi Andy played the course a few times before It’s terrific. Have also played with Neil Hampton the secretary he is a terrific golfer + 3 handicap when we played against each other I have since moved to the West Midlands and I am still a country member at Fortrose another terrific course you should play it’s just down the road from Dornoch one of the oldest courses in the world nice to se you again Neil
I know of Fortrose and will return to play it next year
Hannah e for the pics, but what an amazing looking course. Thanks Andy and Hannah, another great vlog.
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely video great looking course. Would love to play that course on a day like that then dinner and a few bevvies in a local hotel…one of the joy of life!
Absolutely
Andy B. You just captured the amazing light.
Played it twice this year, fantastic test of golf
Lucky golfer!
andy d Stunning setting for golf even in winter. Links golf really is better.
It sure is
Magnificent course and video. That hotel is pure class. I’m sure glad that you included a look at it. Andy, I would like to suggest you and Lewis for a Christmas special. 😉
Hey my friend,
Hope you had a great thanksgiving and you and your family have an awesome Holiday season. Keep up the grind brother. You’re the only golfer that I support every month. Love the videos and golf and still loving the style of videos you are making.
Keep in touch my friend.
Jay M.
Always good to hear from you Jay, I hope all is well and enjoy Christmas
Another lovely piece of work Andy, the views are stunning!!
Cheers David
Absolutely fab video pal,makes us glad to be alive
Agreed
What a great looking place. Another fantastic video
Thank you
"I can't stop smiling." Same here.
Great-you wanted to play this golf course, but why this time of year? Yeah, you're nuts!
It’s not really off the beaten track, or a hidden gem - it is one of Scotland’s very best links courses!
Your drone footage is amazing btw 😮
Oh Jesus get over yourself, is that the best you can do?
I have played it twice. It is one of my favorite Links courses. The views are spectacular!
Lucky man
@ Yes I am and in many ways. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
What a lovely golf course. 👍. Great video Andy
Incredible
Nicely done Andy! My new PXG’s arrive tomorrow!
Amazing beauty! I had the good fortune of attending the 2014 US Open at Pinehurst #2 and i can see where Dornach had influence on Ross but the seascape on Dornach is unlike any I've ever seen... Even Pebble Beach is a distant second to the grandeur of the most beautiful Scottish course ever!🙂 Question sir: Why haven't they held an Open at this wonderous track?
I would assume infrastructure, space for grandstands etc otherwise this would be on the rota
Good stuff. Enjoyed it. Beauty of a course and nice history. Photo is Andy a.
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely stunning. Hey, do you think that square to square putter would have made a difference? Thanks for sharing
In what sense? if you mean hole more putts then......no
Enjoying this series, Andy.
Andy C wins it for me. Great course played it several times absolutely brilliant
So glad you were rewarded with your effort to get there, Andy. And I choose andy b for this week's photo!
Yes I can say it was worth the effort
Been lucky to have been a member for nearly 30 yrs. You might have mentioned ‘Foxy’ the 14th hole, that is the hardest, but most exciting par 4.
To play golf there as a member must be incredible, I would assume you never got tired of walking those fairways
Glad you enjoyed it Andy. It’s our special secret place!
@@RichardRoss-u8s keep it that way Richard
A magical place! It's Andy D for me.
I hope your not quitting mate. I love your videos. Would be great to play a round with you some time .. I play leasowe a bit. And I love links golf. I am a distance member at the lovely royal st David’s at Harlech.. stunning course. And o am with you, I don’t like the fairway mats… I prefer to play from the rough in winter.. 👍😂
Beautiful place and must be so good for the soul 👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful course Andy you and Hannah have captured it well. I would love to play it. Amazing you went through that weather and were able to have the conditions you had. Currently about a 2cm snow covering here in my bit of Canada.😢. Andy B wins for me.
Yes we got very lucky
Obviously Hannah Andy ... I'm not stoopid...... I found out the hard way that you never argue with the missus.... especially when they're wrong lol...🌟🎊🤩🥳
wise move but Hannah is my daughter not my wife
Stunning golf course
Andy C Glad you made it there Andy looks great
So am I!
I plays Donald Ross designed golf courses here in North Carolina USA. It’s a 2 1/2 hour drive to Pinehurst. Ross designed Stryker Golf in Fayetteville, North Carolina. It’s an hour drive away from me. It needs restoration but the raised (false front greens are still a factor on that course). Mid Pines Golf near Pinehurst has a definite Ross design.
I must make the journey some time
since you have played courses Donald Ross learned from and was inspired by, a trip to play his designed courses in the US would make a good segment.
Loved the views and loved the course Andy, great golf content
Incredible
Excellent video Andy! Maybe some day soon I'll be able to play at Royal Dornoch!
What a great looking course! Wow😮
It really is!
Always some of my fav videos these Andy 👌🏻
