There is no doubt that “Attention (publicity) changes everything”. Places that spring to mind are the NC500 and Brora. Losing the animals at Brora seems, to me, that they are losing a huge part of the charm that brings people to play the course, in marketing terms their ‘Unique Selling Point’ so it may well be that less people go North to play this gem with the animals gone. Whilst some locals love the business the NC500 brings others wish it had never been dreamt up. Change is a given in our modern world, however, not all change is for the better.
It’s tricky. And it’s none of my business whether Brora’s members decide to change the way it is run, but for some people - myself included - such features add to the experience, not detract from it. I’ve said my piece! But be careful what you wish for…
So true! I assume the club adores its furry-four-legged liberation and deconstructed fencing, but what the rest of us adored (aside from the Braid brilliance) is off to greener pastures.

Shush, 🤫 as long as you take me when I come to visit… I won’t tell a soul.🤷♂️⛳️
You’re on!
Sublime mystery, thank you.
This was different than your other post. It was better!!! I'm glad you kept this course a secret.
Thank you! It was - and still is - a delicious secret!
