This is the wind @RoyalDornochGC that Foxy 🦊 turns on when he is grumpy which is very day ending in “y”
I’ve hit perfect drives & 3 woods 4 days now out of 5.
Foxy 5 & BK 0 😞
@GCAJoeA I made a fool of myself in front of the lunch crowd on the patio. Missed right and had buried downhill chip that I skulled across the green into the bunker.
Heading back to Scotland in September. Docket currently includes:
Royal Dornoch (2 days)
Cruden Bay (2 days)
The Ancient Links of Musselburgh
I have a couple of open days. Would like to add North Berwick which I missed last year. What else?

Scotland’s Halfway Houses🎧 scotlandwheregolfbegan.com/podcasts
Great fun doing this one Did you know there is a light house at Gleneagles? 🤣🤣
Are halfway houses a good thing for every day golf or do they just slow things up?

So this past week my daughter and I played in Augusta, GA and the MacKenzie at 21 Golf Club.
I have been working on a swing change to fix my lower body (specifically my early extension). I had a couple of lessons the weeks leading up to the trip. I have been busy at work, so I only played one round prior to leaving, BUT the swing performed amazing.
Soooo like a moron I figured, “I got it.” Four days between that round and teeing up in Georgia with no homework- no feels- no range.
Showed up to the range in Georgia to warm up for our round and that new move was gone…worse yet…my old one that was playable was gone too.
Mentally I said to myself “I have it figured out” which is the tragic phrase that plagues every golfer.
My first nine that day was a 44. My second nine, I found maybe 25% of that new swing and carded a 40.
I got lazy…I was dumb…to think that after 2 lessons, and one good round that it was just going to be my swing forever was silly.
It was still amazing.
@GolfCourseGurus@CraigCPratt Played the 14 holes in late September.
It’s some of the rockiest terrain I’ve seen anywhere, much less on a golf course. I am curious to see what they do to restore the native areas because it’s impossible to hit a ball out of those areas currently without risking injury.
@CraigCPratt Their update in October said that 14 holes were grassed, so it sounds like things are progressing nicely. It will be interesting to compare to other Tiger designs.

@peekay950@jamierkennedy I’ll be traveling back to Scotland this summer. Mainly staying and playing in the Highlands, but I will probably take a day trip to St. Andrews and might have to play Elie again if I don’t get lucky with the ballot for the Old Course.
@NorthBerwickFan@jamierkennedy I get the periscope thing, it is really cool. I’m not even averse to blind tee shots generally, but the horizon here is just too close to the tee.
@Radebe123@jamierkennedy Mocking a blind approach shot is not the slight you think it is.
Some of the best holes in golf are blind approaches.
