Well, I hope I did Scotland justice!....I know I regret the places I didn't get to see...still, I got to see/do much I hadn't expected.... Here are pix from a few days in Iceland, incl. some from "a nine" a played there....just for Patrick ;) https://imageshack.us/a/pblM/1

A long overdue tribute to Scotland...I had too much family "stuff" that kept me from completing the album of pix but coming back to them last month brought my memories back full blast with great feelings.... Here it is.... https://imageshack.us/a/lMBl/1 I hope those of you who have not yet...

Still gathering pix from my trip....here's a shot from a course I found in Iceland on my way to Scotland...

Some people have a different view of the fun pic than I had seen....so for the record.... "It's Gumby dammit!"

No animals were hurt in the course of my golf game in Scotland. I did however hit the electrified wire that ring the greens one time but the ball still kicked on to the green. ...and yes I had a lot of fun on and off the course...my short game was reliable (2 of 4 sand saves around the greens...

I've posted pix with comments here: http://forums.golf-monthly.co.uk/showthread.php?88072-From-3-weeks-of-golf-in-Scotland&p=1589130#post1589130 Have had little time at home....flew 1k miles for a family gathering this weekend 2 days after my return....just posted the pix and will later add...

I took time to "smell the reeds" inbetween bouts with the wind and rain and when the sun peeked through. The celeb photog at the Alfred Dunhill Championship kindly shot me on The Bridge.... Prestwick St Nicholas #2 my first par in Scotland: chipped from the white wire rings at the right to...

Dornoch was lovely with just the right amount of wind and rain (more spray really) to be a challenge. Though I had a lot of par putts, this was the 1st round with no pars but still enjoyable nonetheless...scored 101...lost two balls. Highlight was bunker play... found two, one out for a 2 putt...

By abandoned I meant that players left mid-round.

All the courses were in great shape for the time of year and the tiny tining of the greens. As for weather, Dunes and Tain were abandoned, but for this group of one and two. One kid did catch up to me but he waited for the bad weather to pass and played just nine...LoL. He was really good...

Yeah, Irish...but I understood him pretty good 😉. ...P.S....I like bunker shots.

Forget to mention... I've played 5 rounds and been in only one bunker!

I've only access to the net on my phone, and so will have to be brief for now. Two great guys on different forums independent of each other took me on unforgettable rounds at Prestwick St Nick and Machrihanish Dunes. I found it difficult to gauge distance along the flat terrain at PSN, and I...

As with all luggage, do NOT put your home address in the bag (they don't need to know where your empty home is)...put your email address/phone contact and destination address. My "broomstick" is a photo MONOpod that I extend to the length of the fairway woods....and like Tashy, I bought a driver...

For my trip to Scotland next week, I'm bringing 3 levels of waterproof gear each with different ratio of water repellency (100% slickJ) to breathability (ripstop nylon)...making sure the pants overlapped shoes. One jacket is a motorcycle rain-jacket! I'm sure it will be interesting to play in...
