Got to Dornoch yesterday after a red eye and four hour drive. Wisely decided to go out and topped the opening tee shot onto the ladies tee just short of the markers. Tough round.
Thank you Rich, Pat, Ed, Andrew and Ash for your wishes. Rich, Mrs. Beale is a princess and was truly shocked when I dropped your name. Pat, hope you get great Chicago weather that I will miss. I recently played Shepherd's Crook and loved it. Not one weak hole. Ash, I can post some photos and thoughts, but probably nothing that Rich hasn't contemplated for hours or days.
Jason, we're going to St. Andrews a few times in the next month. I'm a member of Crail and will play for their side against a team from the Shivas Irons Society. We also intend to make the trip to Askernish, Machrihanish a few times, and probably Cruden Bay, Cullen, and Fraserburgh.
Bill, will definitely make the trip to Golspie. Have not yet played it but will several times.
Finally, a giant thank you to Anthony. I met him in the grill room of his club with his friends. They asked how we knew each other. I said this is the first time we've met. We met on the internet. He could not have been a more gracious host and gentleman. I am grateful that GCA has enabled me to make a friend with a great guy.
