The Scottish 45

[DCB]

Some of you may be thinking that this is a history lesson revolving around the 1745 Jacobite rising, but, alas it is not such a tale. It is the tale of an invader from the far South who swept all before him as he fought an heroic battle over the links of Kilspindie Golf Club. Tonytim8 , playing his first round of links golf, made light work of the conditions both overhead and underfoot. A strong, cool, Easterly breeze meant the course was playing " the wrong way round" a Westerly is the norm here. Several weeks of dry weather had left the fairways hard and the greens even harder. Yet, in a strong field, one man rose to the challenge. Tony shot an amazing 45 points in testing conditions. We sat awaiting the results thinking a good score would be 36-40 points but we were amazed at the 45 points which took the honours. Well played Tony, makes the long trip well worth the effort when you have a day like that.

Just think, you'll be be to recount every stroke for Bubba on the journey home tomorrow

The rest of us will be able to sit and tell stories to our grandchildren of The Scottish 45 and the wee invader from the far South.

Well done Tony, well deserved win on Friday

Thank you for your kind words. Yes it was a round that I will never forget and one I know the gods were shining down on me with. I put it down to my attitude on and off the course as everyone soon realised because

I DON'T CARE

Play good or bad there is no place I'd rather be than on a golf course with friends new and old.

P.s 
Bubba fell asleep on the way back, fed up of hearing me go on !!!!
