Herbert Warren Wind

Wow.

So, um, you know, obviously I, I knew it was the home of Donald Ross and so on and so forth, and had read Herbert Warren Wind's piece, North of the Links of Dornoch.

Yes.

So I was quite familiar with the lore of the place.

That's all.

That's all.

You know, getting back to Dornoch, uh, Herbert Warren Wind, I'm sure he's one of your favorite authors as well, called Dornoch, I believe, the most natural golf course in the world.

What does natural mean to you when you think of Dornoch and golf course architecture?

I mean, I can remember...

when Herbert Warren Wind came to Ireland in 1970, and he wrote about Ballybunion.

It was published in the New Yorker magazine, the article that he wrote.

And that was the beginning of Americans' interest in the game of golf in Ireland.
