I can lip read. I believe you were saying, "I am a mug. That 4 putt really derailed me and hurt my scrotum in a most unpleasant way. The struggle is real." Then your caddy called you a berk.

I played there 25 years ago when I was an 8 hdcp. Windy, rainy miserable day. Drive on #1 into wind went 180 yards. Drove green on 12. Shot 88. Greatest experience of my golfing life.

I played the New course there, started off in a light rain but on the second nine the weather really took a turn for the worse. It got windy and started to downpour and no one in our group could reach the green on a par 3 with a 3 wood. It was probably the worst weather I have ever played golf in.

What a pristine feeling it must be to stop at your ball in the fairway, of the Old Course, discuss with your caddie distance to the pin, wind direction and club selection. All of this at St Andrews, on the course the Old Tom Morris designed. Wow. This is so on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing this perfect golf day, no matter what you score. The gentleman caddying for you was perfect.

A lot of the open courses are like that, Links land is the land between the town and sea Prestwick and Troon (they are practically on top of each other) Carnoustie, Birkdale and Portrush all start in town Lytham and Hoylake are now completely surrounded! . . Muirfield and Turnberry are more in the middle of nowhere while St Georges, Princes and Cinque Ports are all together between Deal and Sandwich but a bit out of town. Musselburgh is the other one but that was superceded by Muirfield in late 18something its in town surrounded by a racecourse and only 9 holes!
