Tony,
Just noticed your mesage tonight. reply on it's way. Can't do the full £m but scraped together £750K.
This year's Open is being played at Cragielaw (not far from Musselburgh) and I'm not sure what balls they're going to use ? perhaps the OGA Volvik's or more likely my friend Hickory Homer's Lattice pattern replica's. The same one's you played with at Old M'burgh before you decided to go "professional" with real gutta percha !
Talking of replica's.....my hickory clubs are of no use for such an occasion
"PS Do you think my 51 for 9 holes would stand a chance? "
I think by the the time that you deduct half of that dodgy handicap from your gross score...you'd have strokes in hand over the rest of the field
