In this episode of Linked By Golf, we head to the Ayrshire coast to explore one of Scotland’s great courses — Kilmarnock Barassie Golf Club.
Our guest is David Addison, General Manager of the club and a passionate steward of its history and future.
David walks us through Barassie’s deep roots in Scottish golf, its transformation into a championship venue, and the incredible amateur talent it has produced over the years — including multiple Walker Cup players.
We also touch on what makes Barassie such a special golfing experience today, from its testing links layout to its vibrant club culture.
Whether you’re a student of golf history or just love hearing about courses with soul, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
