Old Course in the Fog

An strange day here at the Old Course, St Andrews...the 'Haar' (sea mist) came in very early in the morning and never left the Old Course, visibility down to 150 yards. A tough day for the golfers and the caddies.

17th Road Hole Bunker, Old Course St Andrews

The famous Road hole bunker at the 17th hole of the Old Course was dismantled and rebuilt on Sunday 5th August, ready for play on Monday the 6th August. The Greenkeepers started at 5.00am and completed the job around 1.30pm that afternoon. This world famous bunker does get a lot of traffic walking into it for a wee look and the taking of many photographs. I have experienced my golfers hitting into it on purpose to prove it can be conquered! It rarely is. A massive congratulations to the Greenkeepers for their superb effort.

R&A Old Course Tee Times

Tomorrow, Monday 6th August, Ballot for Old Course tee times. It shows that the R&A Golf Club now have two blocks of tee times, one in the morning   and afternoon between 9-10am and 2-3pm respectively. This cuts down the amount of tee times that are available to the visiting and local golfers. It happens every August and is quite a contentious issue with the local residents of St. Andrews.

LB and I went down for a game of golf over the Strathtyrum Golf Course at the St. Andrews Links at 3pm this afternoon and found literally hundreds of junior golfers from all parts of the world either out or preparing to go out on their practice rounds. We went onto the 9 hole Balgove Golf Course for a fun wee round instead.
