There is a new book out by Tom Coyne....He had authored a Course called Ireland a few years ago. His book on Scotland is fabulous and gently describes many of the courses. He played 117 rounds in 56 days. I highly recommend anyone with thoughts of going to Scotland reading this....and for those who have gone, It is a must.

I couldn't put it down. Good stuff both for writing as well as travel info. His Ireland was great also for same reasons.

Thanks for letting us know. I enjoyed his Ireland book.

Neat - never heard of him...I'm always looking for books to read during my commute.  My library doesn't yet have the Scotland book, but I just put a "hold" on the digital version of A Course Called Ireland.  Should get it in about two weeks (it says).

I’m enjoying it so far. One interesting part is when he went to see an old friend and teacher in Philadelphia to tune up his game. The instructor taught him to read putts with his feet! It was Mike Dynda. @iacas, do you know him? He is an AimPoint instructor!

Pretty well actually, yes. He and Dave bonded over being bald. :-)

      The channel itself was an integral part of the course, so no relief. I only got relief because of the sprinkler head that was in the middle of it.

      Yea, over +4 strokes gained putting. Which is about 3.5 strokes better than what his year strokes gained putting is at.  Regression to the mean might be brutal out there.

      The course looks challenging this year with hitting fairways being key. Spaun is leading right now but there’s a long way to go.

      Ty-Webb Why did you not get relief the from the channel filled with pebbles originally?

      To set the scene it is the 2023 AMCC conference championship at Indiana CC (Indiana, PA). I walk off 8 flustered after making a triple bogey with a GIR (putted off a false front; and took a couple to get back on). I get to 9 a drivable par 4, and in front of @iacas top the ball so bad it jumps back staying in the teeing area. Since, like many of you I'm sure, I watch the USGA rules videos they put out on Instagram and YouTube, I knew rule 6.2b(6) which states if the ball does not leave the teeing area, you may retee anywhere in the teeing area with no penalty (hitting 2 of course). After embarrassing myself completely and showing & explaining the rule to my playing partners I walked off the hole with a bogey.
