Every golfer would get infinitely more entertainment out of their pastime if they would take the trouble to understand the meaning and intention of a great golfing hole.

Both are usually the result of design and hard work by all involved!

One of my new favorite quotes:

“There are great golf courses and great golf clubs, but it’s a rarity to have both.”

St Andrews Links Advent Calendar - Day 6

6.6km - the length of the Old Course

In keeping with Scottish golfing culture, the course remains extremely walk-friendly, with little elevation change and short walks from green to tees.

I had a great evening and a wonderful walk with @evalu18golf & @joemmcdonne11.

Wonderful to meet these two golf geeks in person. We speak the same dialect of golf geek.

After 12 rounds of links golf in Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset, it seems the courses of the Cotswolds might struggle to compete. Yet, our round @painswickgolf was the most fun of all. It’s a gca fan’s playground, with so many unique features, it’s tough to describe. See below.
