1964

Herbert Warren Wind, one of America’s greatest golf writers, pens for the June issue of the New Yorker magazine ‘North to the Links of Dornoch’ which proves to be hugely influential in raising the profile of Royal Dornoch in the USA. 

While noting the then challenges involved in journeying to the Highlands, he observes: “This same remoteness explains the unique position that Dornoch has long held in golf; for over half a century it has been regarded as one of the outstanding courses in the world by men close to the heart of the game, yet very few have ever played it.” 

Warren Wind becomes an honorary life member at Royal Dornoch.
