Save Wedge On Fees At 650 Courses

WE may live in the home of golf but sadly too many Scots never get to play the great courses in their backyard.

That's no surprise - the cost at many favourite tracks is likely to put off all but the richest or most fanatical golfers.

Until now. Here's your chance to swing your clubs and save a wedge at more than 650 of the UK's top courses thanks to another fantastic Sunday Mail offer.

We have teamed up with Green Fee Savers and bunkered magazine to give every MailSport reader the chance to play half-price golf at a huge variety of clubs in Britain.

Just log on to www.greenfeesavers.co.uk to find out which courses are taking part.

Among the highlights is The Roxburghe in Kelso, the majestic Borders lay-out that hosted the Scottish Seniors Open for five years.

Designed by Dave Thomas and voted the fifth best inland course in Scotland, record holder is Sergio Garcia who shot a 66 - and Colin Montgomerie has hailed The Roxburghe as "perfect for pros and amateurs".

Stunning Its stunning signature 14th hole drops dramatically downhill before sweeping alongside the River Teviot.

Or you could try Dalmahoy's East Course just outside Edinburgh.

And the savings add up - for example you'll be better off by £130 on a four ball at The Roxburghe or Dalmahoy.

You could also play a four ball at the Glen in North Berwick and save £104 or £120 at Downfield and £118 at Brunston Castle.

Tee times are arranged directly between the club and golfer. Paul Lawrie (right) is backing the giveaway because he wants to see more and more Scots playing the game.

The 1999 Open champion, who has his own junior golf foundation, said: "Anything that makes golf more affordable can only be good for the game so I'm happy to see a major Scottish newspaper take the lead.

"The success of Scottish golf depends on people playing at all levels, not just on tour or at the Majors.

"So I encourage everyone to jump at an offer like this and get out and play."

Sunday Mail sports editor George Cheyne reckons Scotland's golf-mad public now have even more reason to stick with the country's No.1 newspaper.

He said: "Mail Sport has always been fanatical about golf but this year coverage has gone through the roof to establish ourselves as the first paper golfers reach for.

"We bring you the best stories at all levels. Our special magazine 100 Classic Courses was a huge hit and now we are delighted to unveil an offer that will save a fortune.

"So get a coupon, pick a course and pull the spikes on."
