For me money is about creating experiences and memories, not owning "things". So yes, I have paid to play St Andrews, stayed and played at Turnberry. And the memories of the hairs on the back of the neck being raised when you address the ball on the first tee of the Old Course then birdie it, of being first out at Turnberry and feeling as though you had such a place to yourself are priceless and therefore well worth the expense. Looking forward to Birkdale and Lytham this Autumn - yes they are expensive, but the few days away with great mates doing what I love in such historic places will create experiences and memories that are well worth the money that I have worked hard for.
