So today, I played the Old Course. Just an unbelievably cool experience. I'm typing from our Airbnb on Scores about 100 yards from the first tee. I asked at Dunvegan last night about the queue and he said 5:45-6. That was spot on as I arrived at 5 (woke up at 4:20 and decided I was on a sleep cycle and too excited to go back to sleep) to find two others. #4 didn't get there until 6 so I had my pick of times.

Here's me in the center with the two blokes from Ireland they paired me with on the newly remediated Swillcan Bridge (no stone landing). The grandson had bought the trip for his Grandfather after the elder man had prostate surgery as a way to cheer him up. We had a blast.

I chose 7:30 with a caddy. He shuttled me around with my meh Calloway rentals (only 35 though). Shot 92 including a par out of the Valley of Sin that drew applause from the folks on the walking trail above the green.
