Thank you guys. I have probably seen the very best an very worst of golfers an people on the links. Best I have seen his is 66 with every hi fairway and every green Hit by some English pro and worst I have seen is German 50 handicapper who took 22 shots on first but didn’t go in burn lol which was more amazing. Met a lot of the pros. Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els and Brandon stone nicest pros I have met with Paul lawrie (even though he’s Scottish too) very arrogant and Jimenez (up himself too)

Welcome.

I thought one has to demonstrate a certain level of handicap to play the Old Course???....is it also a requirement for the other courses at St. Andrews too?

I know it's one man's opinion....I never would have not guessed Lawrie to be arrogant....in a way not surprised at The Mechanic.

But, let's face it....quite a few people who excel in their career  are some what arrogant....they know they are good.

My official handicap was 8 when I got the job 11 years ago I have recently started playing again, haven’t went for my handicap but I’m my 15 rounds since I have been back an 81 and 82 lowest I have shot. Few silly holes ruining my card. Ironically caddying is the worst thing for golf is caddying I don’t get too play in summer months normally but because of covid I’m playing again. Your right too get too too you need a certain level but no excuse for bad manners.
