Title:Gorse: Gorse is a common sight on many UK golf courses. It can provide a strong structural and strategic framework, particularly in the links landscape where trees would detract from the open links expanse. Taller gorse also affords shelter from wildlife, especially birds such as the stonechat, Dartford warbler, whinchat, linnet and yellowhammer. At Carnoustie, for example, the abundant gorse is used to seperate fairways, to shelter greens from tees and to provide stunning colour
