Our first amateur guest is none other than the North East's own Ruairidh MacDonald.  The passionate Links traditionalist that he is, joins us to discuss Golf within the North East area and how working in Tourism started his journey within the game. (2:34) Ruairidh highlights what to look out for when booking a Golfing Holiday to the area and common mistakes groups make when considering courses and scheduling of rounds. (5:40) Ruairidh is also fortunate enough to work for the European Tour Social Media Team.  Both he and the team work hard to provide the great content we would frequently enjoy online whilst not consider the efforts that are put in behind the scenes. As golf fans we appreciate the work Ruairidh brings us, not only giving us insight into the Tournaments being played but the Players themselves affiliated with the Tour. (11:00) David spots a moment to discuss his man crush on Henrick Stenson and wants to know, if he is as much of a practical joker in real life as he is on social media. (12:30) Ruairidh also paved the way many years ago, by starting the Scottish Golf Podcast and discusses how this started and has developed over the last year or so. (15:57) How will Ruairidh do in this 9 Hole Challenge as our first amateur guest? Enjoy some fantastic stories from his time travelling with the game.
