Paul Lawrie Blesses Royal Dornoch's New 7th Hole For Tartan Pro Tour Event

We were delighted to welcome former Open champion Paul Lawrie to officially open our new 7th hole on the Championship Course 😊 Taking time out from this week's @tartanprotour event, Paul even made birdie at the first attempt! Look out for the footage soon... 👌 📸 @johnpaulfoto . . . #royaldornochlinks #friendsofroyaldornoch #lawrie #theopen #scottishhighlands #seventh #scenic #instagolf #golflife #linksgolf #photography #film

It’s not often that a nearly perfect golf course to get just a bit more perfect, so this a salute to Royal Dornoch for hosting the Lawrie Series/Tartan Pro Golf and unveiling a revamped 7th.

If you’ve had the privilege or dream of some day getting there, you likely know the walk from 6 to 7 at Royal Dornoch is one of the best in golf and while the view is elite, the revamp allows you to keep enjoying that scenery while playing a better-positioned version of the old hole.

As for the Tartan event, Chris Maclean subsequently won with rounds of 66-69. That’s some fine play.

The epic view looking down on the sixth and tenth before turning to the new seventh (you may need to click on the image and hit play to see the video):

The 1999 Open Champion Paul Lawrie brings his Tartan Pro Tour to Royal Dornoch in a few hours ⛳️ so will be interesting to see what he and the rest of the pros playing make of our classic links and the new 7th hole 🤔 🎬@golflife_matt . . . . #scottishhighlands #linksgolf #golflifestyle #golflife #video #summervibes #oceanview #golftravel #scotspirit
