Morayshire and Ayrshire, to the challenges Dalmahoy and Gleneagles,

Sam Torrance, VisitScotland’s golf ambassador, said, ‘The Drive It Home
promotion is the perfect reason for international golfers to visit the Home
of Golf in 2010. Scotland is the undisputed ‘Home of Golf’. We have the best
courses in the world and facilities that are second to none and will again be
firmly on the golfing map this year with the 150th anniversary of the Open
Championship. Scotland has over 550 courses the length and breadth of the
country, the difficulty golfers have when visiting is choosing their
favourite!’

This year’s Drive it Home campaign website harnesses the support and
enthusiasm of hundreds of partners across Scottish tourism, including 60
accommodation providers and travel operators. With free tee times up for
grabs at over 50 of Scotland’s courses, and a range of associated discounts
and deals, this year’s biggest golf push is on course to persuade even more
golfers to ‘Drive It Home’.
