Today (two courses in one day!) John Is playing Royal Dornoch - one of the crown jewels of Scottish golf!
“Records show that the incredible natural landscape that defines golf in Dornoch has hosted golfers since 1616… The responsibility for actually designing our Championship course fell to the legendary Old Tom Morris who used the unique links-land features to create a magical golfing experience – one that prompted Tom Watson, five times Open Champion, to say ‘it’s the most fun I’ve ever had on a golf course’!”

John is off playing Montrose today. See more info on the club below.
“The Medal Course at Montrose is a majestic layout in the true traditions of Scottish Links golf and has hosted many important events in its history including the Scottish Professional Championship in 1967 and 1970, the Scottish Amateur Championship in 1975 and the British Boys' Championship and Internationals in 1991. Because of all these factors the Links was honoured by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in being chosen as a Final Qualifying Course for the Open Championship at Carnoustie in 1999 and again in 2007.”

“Royal Aberdeen is one of the truest linksland layouts in golf. It’s a course to test the better golfer, one who can accommodate the many variable conditions this arduous links can throw at you. The front nine holes rank amongst the very best in the world. "

“The Old Course provides a golfing challenge to golfers of all standards, and the prevailing weather conditions add to the degree of difficulty. Once you have negotiated the “valley holes” and battled home, I would invite you to regale the events of the day whilst partaking in a small libation in the bar.”

John's big Scottish golf adventure continues. Where is he playing today? Playing at one of the best in Scotland - Nairn.
If the rankings were judged on the quality of the greens then Nairn would feel hard done by not to be in the top 10. As it is, a move upwards of six places reflects the panel's feeling that this was a course that deserved greater recognition. It is the opening stretch of holes, along the coastline, that live longest in the memory"
“What delights the visitor and member alike is the Scottish-ness of the links. Other than in a strong westerly, it leads you in gently before demanding accurate driving and ...

OK, OK, here it is (the promised tip from Long Drive Champ Sean Fister to add an easy 20 yards to your drives)Says Fister,
"There are a hundred little tricks to hit the ball farther. But only one is absolutely, positively guaranteed to work for every golfer. All you do is turn your shoulders farther, all the while keeping the butt end of the club as far away from your sternum as possible. It takes practice and physical effort, but if you work hard at that for 2 weeks, you'll for sure pick up 20 yards with the driver."
There you have it.

I heard this brief interview with Duval on The Golf Channel last week.
He said it is really not swing mechanics or swing issues in the way now. It is something else.
