I was fortunate to play a round at the Old Course in St. Andrews this year and while I don’t have a lot to say about it (nothing too original at least), I did capture a little video which can be found after the jump.
This was only my third to time around with my sticks, [...]

THE OLD COURSE
CASTLE STUART- BONUS MATERIAL
This week is Open week, so we are all Scotland all the time at PB Golf. Here is a little more material about Castle Stuart, which opened this week on July 13th. It is a stunning looking course and I am sure it plays as well as it looks because it is the product of [...]

Their final product, the spectacular Horse Course, interacts with the canyon in way that highlights the unique [...]
