Yes there is a video coming .. im going to take my time editing it, but needless to say.. wow what an experience!
I was visiting the UK for a couple of weeks and thought I would chance a visit to Scotland, visit St Andrews.. maybe the academy and hit a few balls on the driving range just to say I had been here....
But...
I chanced it.. at 9 am i went in the starters box and asked , any chance a single could get out today.. there were a couple of chuckles from the people behind me.. but to his credit, he saod let me look and see.. we have a couple of memebrs playing at 1:10 ill see if I can call them and see if they will allow you to join.. very excitedly i walked off to tell the wife.. next minute i got the message that the members would be happy for me to join them!
It was a mad rush to the clubhouse.. i hired clubs.. that were not great for me.. went to the driving range and hit 30 balls.. next thing I know im standing on the forst tee.. and promptly shanked it!
But.. there will be a video coming soon.. as I am sat here writing this, i still do t know what I scored and barely remember the round..
I will say it was sureal .. just blew me away.. great company in Ray and Elizabeth... of course my Wife Rocel.. I know i hit a few Pars including a magical shot into the 18th.. but i also know i carded a 7 and an 8 after taking 3 shots to get out of a bunker!
All this to come.. here was the practice https://youtu.be/ieECEgnMMbQ
@Tom Saguto have you played St Andrews?
WOW....GREAT!!!!!!
Was wondering where you were?
What a blessing!
Can't wait to hear more.
Hope we get to meet at the Myrtle Beach World Amateur!
What an awesome experience, @Bazza Clarke!! I'm sure it'll make for a great video.
No - I haven't been as of yet.
So you are not "The Champion Golfer of the Year" (yet), but still most definitely well-played to even get yourselves on the granddaddy of them all on such short notice!!
