Tony, many thanks for all your organisational work which made this a really fun trip.
For those of you who weren't there, hickories with Alfie at Musselburgh was memorable; we had a good test around North Berwick on a beautiful day with a wee breezy; Tom Doak and team showed us around The Renaissance Club, next door to Muirfield which was fascinating (has some great looking holes); we had a festive dinner at Ducks in Aberlady - and then some of us played 36 at Muirfield the next day. We were fortunate to get the HCEG on a calm day, with the rough pretty modest by their standards - it remains a wonderful place to spend a day playing, and very, very few clubhouses are its equal.
Alas, some of us had to return to keyboards and work - the other lucky chappies are busy making their way round St Andrews still....
As ever, it was fun to meet some fresh GCA faces, including first ever female. Well done Shane - and hats off to her and Matthew for coming all the way from Beijing.
