Gopher Watch Competition – October 2025
Sandy was on the classic links of Nairn, in the Highlands of Scotland, in the last issue.
Originally laid out in the 1880s by Andrew Simpson, Nairn is often misattributed to his more famous namesake Archie. Old Tom Morris worked on the course only a few years later, as did James Braid. From 2018, Nairn was significantly renovated by Tom Mackenzie. We had a large number of correct answers, so congratulations to Czech golfer Jiri Humi, who was drawn from the hat and will receive a golf shirt.
A more modern spot, in a less traditional golfing market, for Sandy this issue. For a chance to receive a GCA golf shirt, email the name of the course to gopher@golfcoursearchitecture.net
