Welcome!

My name is Greg McMullin and I've started this blog to share some of my thoughts on why Highlands Links has been, is, and will continue to be an important and unique place for anyone interested in golf, community and friendship.

Beyond sharing my thoughts and experiences at Highlands Links I will also provide readers with information on the history of the Highlands region of Cape Breton so as to provide some context for the development of the golf course and why Highlands Links has become, what many knowledgeable observers consider, a world class golf course and a national treasure.

While this blog will be authored by myself,  I would like to say that many of my opinions are shared by a large and growing group of people who have been fortunate enough to experience Highlands Links. I say this with confidence and am hopeful that this blog will encourage anyone who has experienced Highlands Links to share their experiences and stories with a larger audience.

Readers should note that I have organized the blog in reverse chronological order with the newest posts last and the oldest posts first. I have chosen this sequence in order to provide some continuity for those who may be reading the blog for the first time. Enjoy
