paul lawrie tale

[williamalex1]

The story I was told today, true I'm not sure--Paul Lawrie seemingly was at a local driving range recently.
After paying £6 for a bucket of balls , he was informed by a new staff member " sorry sir but you not allowed to take your golf bag into the range bays because too many balls are been stolen". Anyone know if this is true or false.?????

Yeah I think he tweeted about it happening awhile a go.

Sounds a bit iffy, but you never know, just because us 'senior' gents know all about him doesn't mean the youngsters will.

To be honest I see at lot of pro's here but don't recognise all of them, I was looking at one a few weeks ago thinking I know you what your name and i had to find out from the pro shop, so it may not have occurred to the guy serving him. Easily done

Paul Lawrie actually PAYING for golf balls at a range??Goes against a lot of what I've heard,stories are very economical in his spending I've been told!Having said that tho' he does seem to have invested large sums in his golf schools for juniors!

Agreed LQ , but were talking about a Scot who's a Major winner and puts a great deal into youth development , a rare breed .

Sometimes it is difficult to be certain.

I am sure I had a pee next to Nigel Slater at Glasgow airport recently.
I gave him a second look and he sort of gave me a piss off look.

My most famous moment came in 1964 when I chatted to Sean Connery for 5 minutes without recognising him.
This was closely followed by getting a lift home from a function by Chelsea footballer Peter Osgood and asking him who he was.

I wonder if Paul Lawrie had a bag with his name on.

What's he done previously?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

What's he done previously?

He finished 6th in the 1993 Open, not many folk know that.
