Since I first set foot on The Old Course on a Sunday afternoon:

















And got in a quick 18 on The Eden:











Happy anniversary to me.

Indeed. Downhill after that however, as evidenced by the hail on the 9th green at Carnoustie two days later:



Stimping at about 1 I would guess.

Mike:

  Geez, one year ago on Oct 19th I was at Cypress Point and three years ago at St. Andrews!

   Maybe you and I ought to plan on getting together on Oct 19, 2005 at another of the world's #1s. Say your #1, Mike, Augusta National?   ;D  

Afterall, we've already played my #1 together.  ;)

In the spirit of the NY :)-Bos :'( series we'll start "Whose Your Buddy" days on GCA.

Gene,

Better make that "Who's Your Affluent, Well-Connected Buddy Day!"

When it comes to reciprocating, I am willing, but weak.

Kindest regards,

Mike

Hail in October - that about sums it up!

Great pics and Carnoustie hail is interesting, too.

I've only been to Ireland - twice in August - and got only 2 rain days out of 18...i know that beats the odds but when it rained, it RAINED!

Mike:

  If the opportunity ever presents itself to me to play golf on the surreal fairways of The Augusta National Golf Club YOU, my friend, will be the one I call to join me.

NOW you must realize know how much I enjoyed that joke about the 6'' figurine placed by Coore-Crenshaw conspirists!
