I *think* in some conservative clubs, if you opt to wear shorts, you have to wear knee length socks. Personally, I'd rather sweat in pants.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Yeah true, that is kind of ridiculous but it definately depends on where your playing. A lot of clubs should be pretty loose about it.

I am a bit wierd about packing. I like to get golf shirts from great courses so I intentionally don't pack enough shirts for my trip (forces me to buy a couple on the trip). I also often bring pants and shirts that are on their last legs and just toss them out along the way. Both these strategies help me keep my luggage to a minimum.

I was in Ireland last summer, I would expect the weather in Scotland to be similar but I could be wrong.

Waterpoof shoes are definitely a plus. Under Armour or some other thermal layer works well so you don't have to wear thick layers of clothing.

Prepare to take more club for any given distance. The ball will not travel as far in colder air, not to mention if it's windy as well. I was often hitting 1-2 clubs more on most shots and it wasn't windy when I was there. Just 40-50 degrees F.

In addition to the waterproof outerwear, moisture wicking t-shirts help too since they dry much faster.

Many thanks to everyone for their posts and advice, it is much appreciated! There are 12 of us making the trip... We are playing St. Andrews Old and Jubilee, Troon, Prestwick, Carnoustie, and Kingsbarns... We leave in two weeks, can't wait to get there and see these great courses in person after seeing them on tv and reading about them for 25+ years... Thanks again to everyone!

I wouldn't bother with shorts. If its over 80 they'll think they're going to die but being from Dallas you should be just fine. I grew up in Houston and London and I don't think I was ever hot in the UK, and I was there for the el-nino heat waves in the mid 90s. There's no a/c but you don't need it. Scotland will likely be even cooler than London but most of the island has a pretty similar climate. Of course I am really warm blooded and keep my house at 82 in the summer and have no problem walking 18 in the July Houston heat.

Bring rain gear for sure. Congrats on the trip! When I lived there I was too young to play the famous courses but I walked some of them with my dad while he played, and I played some of the lesser known courses. It is an awesome experience and Scotland is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, like something out of a fairy tale.

Have a wonderful, safe trip. Take a bunch of Dallas Cowboys stuff to give to people. Most over there love the Dallas Cowboys. Buy a bunch of cheap Dallas Cowboy pens, playing cards, shot glasses, whatever (bonus if you can find stuff with the cheerleaders on it). They will be good for trading (Cowboy coffee mug for a cool Scottish Football team scarf, etc)

      But he won at -18 !!! Are you going to complain that it was too easy and boring to watch like you do for the PGA Tour?

      Struggling to Determine Between Slightly Uphill or Slightly Downhill Putts, 60 Years Old.

      By WillieT ·

      Good read (pun intended) as I have been using my feet more to feel the break and trusting these 65yr eyes less.  The only caveat to my case is that most rounds I wear a carbon graphite brace that runs the length of my left foot (replicates the toe "lift" sensation while walking by putting pressure on the rear of the left calf muscle and makes a great conversation piece to the guys I play with), and I tend to find the weight sensation somewhat muted on that foot when I wear it.  I do occasionally play without it and the left foot read gives a better transmission of info.  However not matter which way I'm playing that day (brace/no brace), pacing off the distance and coming back about 1/2 way and getting a foot read has really helped me determine the break, the startline and oveall pace.  Using my feet has definitely improved my confidence in terms of putting.

      To still be winning tournaments at 67 is quite incredible. He must also be the youngest person to have shot his age or better by however many times he's done it. Amazing.
