Maybe it was the fact that the sun was shining for almost the entire round. Or perhaps it was the refreshing smell from the sea across the 8 holes that fall next to the water. Or maybe it was the birdie on the 6th hole (after leaving an eagle putt embarrassingly short). Maybe it was the beautiful views and challenging, yet fair course design from the front tees (even at approx 5800 yards) Then again, maybe it was the friendly (and incredibly helpful) caddies who reminded us both of just how far that ball can roll on a links course. Come to think of it, the roll alone on a lot of holes could have been the reason alone! Or it could have had something to do with Scott and I getting to play alone today, and Scott shooting a great score. There was also the friendliness and smiles on the faces of the men playing in the groups in front of and behind us. And let’s not forget the lager shandy at the bar after the round where we could sit and watch groups come up the 18th hole. Maybe its just the memories of Tom Watson’s incredible attitude and sportsmanship when he lost the British Open here in 2009; what a great attitude. Whatever the reason, shooting 105 has never felt as good as it felt today at Turnberry. Bar none - one of my favorite rounds of golf. I highly recommend it.
