The couple married on April 29 at Westminster Abbey and beforehand took this opportunity to visit the place they met and fell in love, he said it was like “coming home”. This was first visit since graduating back 2005 and he was quick to say he considers it the best university in the world.

As patron to the 600th Anniversary Appeal Prince William will help bring awareness to the task of generating new funds for scholarships at the university.

It’s interesting to not that today approximately 30% of all of the bandwidth consumed on the internet is video. Though what’s more amazing is a statement by Cisco that this will increase to 90% over the next 2 years!

We all know that online video is everywhere now and thus my specific aim is to help local business use this media to convert more of their website visitors into actual paying customers. It’s important to consider that visitors who view video products reviews are 85% more likely to buy than those that don’t.

Typically the best way for a retail shop, restaurant, service provider or professional to immediately use video in a positive and profitable manner is to create their very own mini documentary location based interview. This format style is a proven winner and I can guarantee a custom crafted 60-second video will significantly help your web site customer conversion.

Finally consider this, last year saw online video consumption grow by 62% and by 2020 it is forecast to be 50 times what it was last year. It thus isn’t surprising then that 94 of America’s top 100 advertisers are using Youtube and Google to run online video campaigns.

I look forward to helping you with your video campaign.

Kingsbarns is a traditional Scottish links course set in a stunning seaside location just 7 miles from St. Andrews. The wide fairways stretch along 2 miles of spectacular coastline in East Fife.

In this show I’ll take you to the signature holes at Kingsbarns, the par-5 12th and 15th, I’ll show you the challenging 7th, 9th and 18th holes as well as the dramatic fairways and greens, the beautiful clubhouse, the stunning coastline and even some wildlife down on the adjacent beach!

15th hole

I start out by taking you to the 15th hole and offering you some top tips to help you make par on this hole. This hole is gaining a reputation as one of Scotland’s finest par 3s. With its fantastic views I think it’s our version of Pebble Beach!

Whenever I come to Kingsbarns I always see some fantastic drama on this incredible hole – I love it. From the tee at 212 yards I demonstrate how the hole can be played – either by simply going for it or by laying up on the left hand side of the green.

When you stand on the tee of the 15th at Kingsbarns you don’t know how windy it’s going to be, so my top tip is to check the trees on your left and also aim for the left bunker if you can because that’s a really good safe line. The last thing you want is to end up on the rocks on the right.

Once you get to the green you should take care because there are lots of borrows, contours and undulating ridges on this green.

If you can get a 3 or a 4 that’s a good score and you can move on having played one of the best golf holes in Scotland!

12th hole

Apart from the 15th one of the best holes at Kingsbarns Golf Links is the 12th – it’s a par 5, it goes all the way along the coastline and has to be one of the most stunning holes in the British Isles.

7th hole

The par 4 7th is a long tough hole at 470 yards from the championship tees. It’s important to miss the large hollow on the left side of the green, as recovering from here can be tricky.

9th hole

Next I take you onto the par 5 9th hole which is 568 yards long and I show you the cross bunkers and the deep bunkers on the right hand side of the green..

Like all of the greens at Kingsbarns there are 6 or 7 pin placements on the 9th green. However there is no other green like the 9th for the variety of placement. There is a large hollow and a ridge running across this green. This really is a tricky green but a lot of fun to play.

18th hole

I finish the show on the testing par 4 18th hole which is 444 yards from the tips. You final approach shot must carry the Cambo Burn. This is a finishing hole which is designed for maximum drama – it’s lots of fun and it could decide the outcome of your match.

Kingsbarns History

Golf at Kingsbarns dates back to 1793 and since then it’s had a turbulent history. The course closed in 1850 so that farmers could turn the land into farmable fields, and re-opened in 1922 when Willie Auchterlonie laid out a nine-hole golf course on the links at Kingsbarns Bay. Then in 1939 this course was mined for military purposes during World War II. Finally in 1999 Californian designers Mark Parsinen and Kyle Phillips created and opened the 18 hole golf course which features in this show.

Despite its infancy, Kingsbarns has the honor of being one of three venues for the annual Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, along with the Old Course and Carnoustie.

This spectacular course has also been selected as a Final Local Qualifying course for the 2010 Open Championship.

If you want the sights, sounds smells of sea while you are playing golf then Kingsbarns is the place to be. The elevated tees give you magnificent views of the landing areas of each hole as well as stunning views out to the sea. On the green you really need to have you’re “A” game with you because there are so many contours and subtle borrows – probably best to have a caddy on your first visit!

Good luck on your 1st visit to Kingsbarns!

Finally the Question of the Day:

What is your favorite seaside golf course? Leave your comment below and we’ll have fun reading them!

After two days of fantastic sunshine I thought we were all set for a mild patch, how wrong could I have been!

I awoke to find a deep blanket of snow, my walk at Tentsmuir beach in near tee shirt conditions the day before was a distant memory.

It then stuck me that I had never seen the Old Course under snow, only in pictures – so this was my chance to change that.

Thus this afternoon Elle and I drove into St Andrews and shot this 2 minute video. It was fun to shoot and the constrast to the footage shot for Episode 1 is clear to see!

The question of the day is as follows: “What are the worst conditions to have ever played golf in?” Please leave your answers below in the comments section.

Take care and remember it’s nice to be nice.

Cheers

Andy
