Something worthwhile to read in Golf Digest

Finally.

The following should be posted on the bulletin board of every golf club in the US.  After just walking 36 this week with another GCA-er, much of the first round in a steady rain, I'm feeling the need to preach to the American masses who have drifted much too far from the beautiful simplicity and sense of adventure of this wonderful game.  http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2015/07/what-americans-can-learn-from.html?mbid=social_facebook

Quite true, Martin.

How many Scots go play the famous tourist traps?  Wanna meet someone who has never been to the "Sears" Tower...Find a Chicagoan.

If that's true it's a sad reflection on womankind

The Midwesterners I am watching, after months of rain, play cart path only are not lazy. They are creatures of habit. A similar argument could be made for why Scots walk...#coughcheapcough

I think it would be fair to say that, yes, while we do have some elements of golf elitism here in bonnie Scotland, there's also the widest possible spectrum of golfing opportunities, from the local muni for a fiver to super-privates like Loch Lomond and Muirfield.

What could we learn about Tennis from the English?

Adam,

I'm not sure I understand it either except I've heard more than a few women comment affirmatively about any man in a kilt. 

I've yet to try it myself and likely will hold steadfast to that position.

At our age any kilt would need to be tailored in reverse of the Wei skirt. #saggyballs

I clicked on this thread thinking it was going to be the "Sex on the course" article in this month's issue. Is a Redan the best type of green to have sex on?

Not unless you are looking to finish 100 feet left if where you started.

If Muirfield is considered "super-private" we'll need a new adjective to describe the typical American club that doesn't allow riff raff to play every Tuesday/Thursday, let alone courses that are even harder to play typical US clubs, like ANGC.
