Which Golf Course In The Scottish Borders Has The Statue Of A Dog By The Side Of One Of Its Greens?

[mariner2]

I played here some 10-15 years ago and remember the statue, I was utterly convinced it was at Torwoodlee, but having just gone back there, it wasn't there and no one knew of it.
Must be somewhere else then . . . . possibly around North Berwick too as I went there at the time as well.

Ladbrokes golf club. ??

Ladhope - sorry, predictive text

[Old_Geezer]

You could bet on that going wrong.

[mariner2]

Thanks for that, but even though its in the right place, I checked a picture of Dougal the Dog at Ladhope, and that's not the one. The green was overhung by trees and Ladhope/Galashiels in quite bare.

carnoustie? muirfield?

[mariner2]

No, we didn't play exclusive famous courses like those.

st medan?

[mariner2]

Nope, sorry

[wolf63]

What breed of dog?

Maybe they cut the trees back at Ladhope .

[mariner2]

I think it was a Labrador type, not a terrier like the one at Ladhope.

Could it have been an Otter-dog?

Have you tried a golf forum or the queries page of the Daily Mail?

This sort of thing annoys me as there 'should' be an answer on the web.

Good Night ;-)

[mariner2]

Annoys me as well, that's why I came here as a last resort after searching the web. Never played St Medan, and it wasn't an otter/dog

[wolf63]

Are you sure that you saw a dog?

Where were you on holiday?

Was it definitely my side of the border (Scotland?)

I share your pain and it will gnaw at you until you find it.

I'm sure I played there at least twice.
We come up from Lincolnshire to the borders and play at a N.Yorks or Northumberland course on the way (so it could be one of those) and apart from that time we were at North Berwick, we are always based around Kelso/Galashiels, and play Minto, West Linton, Eyemouth, The Hirsel, Duns, Torwoodlee and courses like those.
I've just come back from this year's trip and obviously didn't find it . . . . !

[mariner2]

I am in the Borders again playing golf and still don't know where this statue is, or was?! We are at Minto today, I will ask an old member if I can find one.

[mariner2]

Another year, and just back from this year's trip to the borders for a week's golf and still nobody knows where the dog statue is!

[mariner2]

Another year on and still no answer to the mystery! We are golfing in Fife right now and I'm searching around here, but still no joy.

[mariner2]

5 years on and still nobody knows about this one!
We played the mystery golf course twice, and I had 3 witnesses, surely somebody out there must know?!
