Other than perhaps a tv cameraman up in a cane tower , we were amongst the only people on earth with a view of the Road Holes tee and fairway at the same time. The players were quite literally hitting over the Hotel. The roof of the solarium some four floors beneath us was littered with balls. Those were great great times, Lynn.
The next day we traveled to Carnoustie. There were a couple of senior players in the group of ahead of us............Fred Funk and Bobby Clampett. I'll post a video of Bobby driving off from the 1st when I get back to a proper internet connection. His swing is really something.
As an aside , just hanging out with Yoda seems to help your game. I went out in one under par on Carnoustie in high winds. Acquired motion knock downed my way around the front. Sadly coming in the course got the better of me. Bogey bogey finish for a 76. Those closing holes are indeed nasty.
