Dougie Donnelly plays 100 holes in a day THU, 30 JUL 2020
In the second episode of The Arran podcast, sponsored by Arran Sense of Scotland, Kim McAllister interviews sports broadcaster Dougie Donnelly.
He discusses the time he played 100 holes of golf on the island in one day and tries to sum up that relaxing feeling of standing on the deck of the ferry with Arran on the horizon.
He has always mentioned a certain Arran golf course when he's asked his favourite courses in the world - can you guess which one?
Scottish pianist and regular island visitor Mhairi Hall plays us out with a gorgeous track from her album Airs: Lullaby for Eilidh.
For more information on the island got to Visit Arran's Facebook page: facebook.com/visitarran

Scottish golf clubs have been given the green light to restart Open competitions but are being encouraged “not to drop guards” in the ongoing fight with Covid-19.
The welcome news for clubs was delivered by Karin Sharp, Scottish Golf ’s chief operating officer, in an update on guidelines yesterday.
“As stated last week, we lobbied Government in the strongest possible way to resolve the contradictory guidelines in relation to Open competitions,” she said.
“As has been the case throughout the last few months, through positive dialogue, the Government has taken on board our representation and we are extremely pleased to advise that our affiliated clubs are now able to host qualifying Open competitions.
“Whilst this is good news for sport, this is still a public health emergency and the following key points have been highlighted by government in relation to this guidance change:
● Organised and sanctioned open competitions must take place behind closed doors with only competitors and essential competition staff in attendance.
● No spectators.
● No family members (except for parents or guardians of children or vulnerable adults).
● A register of all attendees should be maintained.
● Travel to and from competition must not mix households, ie no car sharing.”
Sharp sounded a warning by adding:“there is no shortage of evidence that the virus is still prevalent, and as a sport we must not drop our guard and ensure that we do everything we can to keep our golfers and golf clubs safe.
“We urge all of our clubs and their members to comply with all Government guidelines, both locally and nationally.
“It has been a long journey back to this point for golfers and clubs and I would like to thank everyone who has played their part in adhering to the guidelines.”
Seven Scottish players are in the field for the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open taking place later next week, Aug 13 – 16 at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, as professional women’s golf returns to Scotland for the first time since Europe’s remarkable triumph in the 2019 Solheim Cup last September.
The seven home-hopefuls for the 2020 Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open are Carly Booth, Gemma Dryburgh, Kylie Henry, Kelsey MacDonald, Catriona Matthew, Alison Muirhead and Michele Thomson. They will take on a world-class international field which includes over thirty nationalities and three of the world’s top ten ranked players on the Rolex World Rankings.
Fans will be able to watch the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open on Sky Sports and the Golf Channel, with enhanced content on its digital channels,
