I find both are excellent for different reasons. No driver needed at BoG in fact it can ruin your round if even a little wayward, it approaches are tremendous and well thought out. SV is an excellent longer course with even better views and a real good test of all your game. A couple of long...
The Old Course offers tremendous playability and range of shot options with a lot of risk reward. I love it but especially the back 9. The greens and considerations of approach and layups are top notch. It’s a Course you’ll always enjoy playing and well I’d take Bobby Jones or Tiger Woods...
Rory more than anybody needs a caddy who will advise him wisely. To me he’s a loose cannon and only seems to play bomb and chip. The American game suits him way more but would a caddy change that, in hindsight probably not. When it all clicks it’s amazing and he’s still very likeable as a...
What is rich? Happiness is the key and hard work at something you enjoy doing will make you happy. When I went to university having previously done an apprenticeship, there were guys in their forties changing their life around and they still had families to feed. It's a massive commitment and...
Speith is pretty amazing when hot and benefits from having a good caddy relationship. If Rory could develop that with his caddie then I'm certain he'd do a lot better because he clearly struggles mentally and needs someone to do whatever needs done to stop him racking up bad shots, get more...

Two car household hence usually a big and wee car.
Prefer reliability but like looks, but I avoid getting sucked into the phwooaar factor with cars, as at the end of the day id rather spend my hard earned on other stuff, not...
Bit late on the reply front. My perspective is golf will inevitably decline as it falls out of fashion from the Tiger Woods heydays when it was at its peak. The public go round in circles with what they like and these days the scrabble is for running and cycling events which are heavily...
The St Andrews course starters can be nororiously miserable but there a few who deserve to be in front of the public.
I think you may have mixed the 5th (short) and 8th (long) par 3s. I really like the Eden.
Good write ups thanks
From my experience of playing at the Links I think this is exaggerated more than reality. A sort of legendary myth whilst it is true 'some' locals do prefer the New.
Anyone would be a fool not to be open to opinions that could change theirs. The problem arises when these fools think their opinion is the only correct one out with facts.
