This year’s ‘Drive It Home’ encourages golfers from around the world to register on www.driveithomescotland.com to win free tee times at 57 top courses throughout Scotland, with over 250 tee times up for grabs.

It builds on the success of last year’s promotion, with the added incentive of the chance to play with Ryder Cup legend Sam Torrance and win tickets to The Open.

This year’s promotion runs until the end of April. Tee times come from a mixture of renowned world class courses including Gleneagles The PGA Centenary Golf Course, home of the 2014 Ryder Cup, Turnberry Ailsa course, The Torrance at Fairmont St Andrews to lesser known hidden gems including Ferntown Golf Course in Crieff and the Wigtownshire County Golf course.

Sam Torrance, VisitScotland’s golf ambassador, said: “The Drive It Home promotion is the perfect reason for both international and UK golfers to visit the Home of Golf in 2010. Scotland is the undisputed ‘Home of Golf’ - we have the best courses in the world and facilities that are second to none and will again be firmly on the golfing map this year with the 150th anniversary of the Open.”

This year’s ‘Drive It Home’ website includes offers from hundreds of tourism businesses in Scotland, including 60 accommodation providers and travel operators.
