This month opens with a feature on Royal Dornoch and a number of nearby courses in its orbit, both of the worthy and "to-be-skipped" variety. If you haven't played Royal Dornoch, you will learn why it holds such a dear spot in the hearts of even the most experienced golf travelers. Golf is played year-round at Dornoch and virtually 24/7 in summer when it is almost always daylight. In Secrets from the World of Golf Travel, you will learn about a budding caddy war in Las Vegas with two courses trying to outdo one another by offering player-friendly female caddies.
