LOVE OF THE LAND
n NOTHING BEATS THE JOY OF LINKS GOLF
T
here's something almost mystical to me
about playing links golf. I first discovered
this on a maiden voyage to St. Andrews
nearly 40 years ago – and experienced it most re-
cently during a visit to Gamble Sands, our newest
course in the Pacific Northwest.
Because of its distinctive lunar-type
landscaping, links golf differs from
its American-style counterpart in
that it truly tests all of the golf shots
in your imagination. Think more art,
less science. Exact yardages aren't as
important as navigating the terrain with
its myriad rolls and bounces. Links golf isn't about
bomb and gouge; it's about patience and discipline.
When I returned from that transformative trip to
St. Andrews, we immediately set about rebuilding
four holes at a course I was then managing to re-
semble what I'd encountered at the home of golf.
All these years later, it's an honor to have been in-
volved from the very start at the soon-to-open Gam-
ble Sands. Links golf brings out the soul of the game.
And I can tell you Gamble Sands has plenty of it.
