Does anyone know if Dylan played the Old Course last summer when he received his honorary degree from St Andrews University?

I trust that when he went to the dais to receive his degree he looked a little different than when I saw him last.

I was about to move out of a Malibu Beach rental in about 1972. The leasing agent requested that a putative buyer wanted to look at the house and would I allow them to inspect the place. The realtor, immaculate in jacket and tie, was followed in by what looked like a refugee from some Balkan crisis. Clothed in black from hat to toe, in some very old looking cast offs from the Salvation Army thrift shop.

A guttural hello and that was the some total of his conversation. I searched for a word to describe him...all I could come up with, was, weird.

By the way, Bob, that's Dylan on the right in the link.

"Big hitter, the Keef......"

Keith Richards? Yeah, but not as long as he use to be.  Though I hear he's swinging that new Big Bertha and has gotten back 10-15 yards.

I'm just average, common too
I'm just like him, the same as you
I'm everybody's brother and son
I ain't different from anyone
It ain't no use a-talking to me
It's just the same as talking to you....

I'm gonna grow my hair down to my feet so strange
So I look like a walking mountain range
And I'm gonna ride into Omaha on a horse
Out to the country club and the golf course.
Carry the New York Times, shoot a few holes, blow their minds.

Now you're probably wondering by now
Just what this song is all about
What's probably got you baffled more
Is what this thing here is for.
It's nothing
It's something I learned over in England.

Except Tiger does it from more than 1 foot from the hole. Come to think of it, I have pumped my fist after making a 1 footer! I suck....

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

I believe Dylan wrote that after playing The Bridge...or was it Sandpines?

I would love to hear the conversations between an unintelligelbe Dylan and his caddy.  Neither could probably understand the other.....

Right form, but where's the strap?  Hard to do with that jacket on....

Anyways, I think the time that pic was taken, dropping acid was the rage...Goodale can confirm.... ;)

A bit early for acid, Scott, unless you were studying psychology at Harvard with Dr. Leary like my brother-in-law......

Keith was actually in his pink gin phase when that picture was taken.  You can see from the tweed jacket and the golf theme that he was contemplating a life as a country squire, and was very upset when shortly after that picture was taken he was banned from Swinley Forest for life for wearing cuban heels on the putting green.

I always thought Bob was sailing close to the edge but he lost his audience with Blood On The Tracks.
I mean, really, Idiot Wind, when Herbert Warren had basically defined golf writing the way we know it.

It is a fact that Dylan played Pine Valley in Clementon a couple of years ago.

And Tiger played "Like a Rolling Stone" at Madison Square Garden . . . . .

You ever wonder what a conversation between Dylan and Keith Richards would sound like?  

Can a New York mumbler understand a London mumbler?

Tiger may have played Madison Square Garden, but he has not played Pine Valley.
Dylan Has!
Isn't that something?
Now, back to the original question, does anyone know if Bob played TOC  in 2004?
