Mick Mac Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm playing golf at St Andrews this weekend. Which for me is fulfilling a major ambition. Golfers are fortunate in that they can play on the same hallowed turf where the big events are played. So in an ideal world, at what sporting mecca would you like to play your favourite sport?..... (As an aside - Anyone who knows St Andrews well, any tips on good bars / restaurants and playing the course itself, gratefully received. :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15876-st-andrews-the-home-of-golf/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm jealous Mick. I've stood on the first tee but not played. The town itself is teeny so well worth an explore and finding your own gems.

???? Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I hope to one day play the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in Vegas....no qualifying needed, no handicap, no talent required just $25k to buy in and you could be sitting at a table with Phil Ivey or Doyle Brunson....(or Vikki Coren if you're a perv....although you can do that at the Vic in Edgware Road far cheaper) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15876-st-andrews-the-home-of-golf/#findComment-412668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Tackling the Hickstead Derby Bank or flying over Becher's would be wonderful for me. Wouldn't have the nerve however.

Mick Mac Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 We were expecting the worst possible weather and I'm beginning to suspect we might get it. But its new course tomorrow and the famous old course on Monday so hope it might have warmed up by then.

Narnia Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Seeing as you are up there why don't you fulfill another major ambition and bring your boots to Parkhead tomorrow? I'm sure you'd get a game. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15876-st-andrews-the-home-of-golf/#findComment-412783 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Mac Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 After uploading my golf pics to facebook last night I awoke to hear on the radio that Kate Middleton has rushed to St Andrews to see the great man in action. Yes regalia, it was absolutely freezing. 5 degress but feels like -1 sort of weather. And strong winds on sunday. I wore a tshirt, a golf shirt, a normal jumper, a wind proof lined jumper and a waterproof top. 5 layers. Who ate all the pies. Went onto the road on the Road Hole and into the "Valley of Sin" on the 18th, all the tourist traps.
