THE OFFICIAL TRAILER
OUR JOURNEY HAS BEGUN
The Journey - How it Began
1976, Barnet, Hertfordshire
After becoming consumed by the game at age 13, Chris began travelling to play golf after persuading his non-playing parents to take him to East Lothian to play courses he’d dreamt of playing from reading Donald Steel’s The Golf Guide.
Chris comments 'Luffness, Elie, North Berwick and Gullane No.1 were my golfing fantasy, and they were truly spectacular'
1993, Regent's Park, London
The years passed but Chris, now a PGA professional, discovered Following the Fairways, a book written by Nick Edmund, planning for one of the most momentous and demanding golf trips of his life; a client's request to play the Top 100 golf courses in the UK and Ireland. This book was his companion for this journey as he set off to play the very best course on offer.
2000, St. Albans, Hertfordshire
After Louis stumbled across The Golf Guide and Following the Fairways at four years old, they set alight his own dreams. His wish to one day, to travel to all of these fantastic golf courses and the beautiful areas nearby with his father on on their own golfing adventure!
2003, The First Trip
At the age of 6, we departed on our first journey to The Machrie, on Islay, and fell in love with the golf courses, the people and the scenery on offer on the island. There was something quite magical about being on these quiet islands. Maybe it was the sea waves rushing in in the morning, the abundant wildlife, the classic links golf, or the friendliness of the people. Either way, we were hooked, and couldn't wait for more.
2019, The Injury, The Spark
After years had passed, work and life became more time-consuming than before, and always seemed to get in the way of the trips we dreamt of going on, with these special golfing trips becoming just fading memories. But, after dad found a growth in his shoulder, everything changed. We both realised that time is limited, and we need to make the most of it while we can! Hasty plans took place to arrange our next trip as soon as possible, and to make the most of the time we have together. We could not think of a better place to start, than in Scotland. The Home of Golf, and our Second Home.
2020, The journey begins
