The Un/official Golf Guide to Scotland EP. 5
Malcolm Duck. If you haven’t already crossed paths with him, well, now you have. Malcolm runs The Duck’s Inn in East Lothian, a region home to Muirfield, Gullane, Renaissance Club, Kilspindie, Dunbar, and North Berwick, just to name 6 of 21 courses in 30 miles of coastline that is dubbed Scotland’s Golf Coast.
Malcolm loves to host when golfers descend upon the Golf Coast from across the globe, and graciously showed Erik Anders Lang and the lads what the area had to offer.
Episode 5: Malcolm brings the boys (and Zulu the pup) to Kilspindie, a great track that sits on a ledge overlooking the Firth of Forth. Jack, a local from Instagram, joins the group in a quasi random golf club. The boys thin balls over the greens, play from the beach, and test their hickory skills with a set brought by The Duck himself. For dinner, Malcolm pulls out all the stops as he treats the crew to a meal at his place, The Duck’s Inn - a welcoming spot for any traveling golfer. Not only does golf memorabilia line the walls, but Malcolm takes bar games to a new level. Finally, the Tom Doak designed Renaissance Club, host of the 2018 Official Unofficial Guide to Scotland: Where Golf Began and 2019 Scottish Open, welcomes the crew and shows off its test of links golf - including possibly the best halfway house in the game.
