How cool is it to be playing golf in the sun again? I had a great few days last week with three friends up at the Fairmont St Andrews, we played Dumbarnie and the two Fairmont courses, which were all in great shape. In the evening we did what golfers do – eat, drink and talk each other through our “great” shots from the day.
I would have been playing in Lisbon this week but had to pull out with the changing travel restrictions. I was looking forward to it, as the resort course on the coast would be windy – so like a warm St Andrews was my thinking.
On another matter, Stephen from The Edinburgh Golf Podcast contacted me a few weeks back, interested in my story of turning pro at 57. I was pleasantly surprised and we recorded the episode last week which is now live on his site. So if you fancy listening to me share it all with Stephen jump onto the site and have a listen at :-
Also at The Edinburgh Golf Podcast on Facebook and Twitter.
Stephen also has some great interviews on the site worth a listen – why not follow The Edinburgh Podcast on Facebook and Twitter for up to date releases.
Next week I’m off down to Leeds for the Gordon Brand Memorial over Wikeridge and Moortown then to the Open pre qualifying at St Annes Old down in Lytham St Annes. I was down this week with my son for a practice round – great links course with brown fairways, lots of bunkers and thick rough. Very scoreable so looking forward to it. It’s fun that both my son and I have ended up with the same pre qualifying course.
Will let you know how we go.
Cheers
