I have been often to Scotland. I set up trips also. I also have a very good bud who owns Fairways to Heaven tour operator. He has Old tee times. This is how it works....The Old and all the other St Andrews golf clubs are municipal. They use the Old to keep you chained to St Andrews for a few rounds. If you are going as part of a group. Reach out to Fairways to Heaven if you have to have an Old time before going. Ask for Dave Reid and tell him Doug Roberts referred you. What you have to do is book a package to get an Old time guaranteed. And what that means is over paying for everything. To play the Old now is about 175 pound or 225 US. To get a time guaranteed a tour operator will package 3 rounds at St Andrews most likely Old, New and Castle...couple nights lodging and their shuttle bus around town for like $2500 a head....when if you booked it direct it would be $1000. If you are going just as a single or couple....Just go. Do ballot two days prior. And if not successful walk up early...and I mean early...I have played the Old 6 times and only once with an advance teetime. 17 summer I went with 8 others. Stayed in Apt in St Andrews....In mid August. We all played the Old...One 4 some via ballot. All others via walk on. Every teetime will have 4 players. You can get a teetime with 2. You can review the groupings and see how many spots are open for walk ons...Normally around 20 in mid summer. To be in top 20 fr walk on you probably need to be at starter shed by 4:30am. It opens at 6am. And you will have a good idea when you should play at 6am and can adjust accordingly....If the weather is foul...all bets off as many don't show of locals and anything is possible...summer 17 3 buds got in line at 4:30 and were 13/14/15 in line with 18 openings. They were told come back around 11am. I meandered down at 8am to put my name on list. Starter said...Do you have your clubs? I said no but they are 5 minutes away. He said you are on the tee...Go get em, hurry. I couldn't as my 3 buds had never played...I called em and they literally ran down the hill. One took that tee time other two played 20 minutes later as two local lads didn't show as the weather was looking hazardous.

    • I watched that video a few days ago. I chuckled at him saying it is so much easier to set up than plopping a GC3 down and turning it on. I love how he did his test hitting AlmostGolf balls, too. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do I think this is remotely accurate? No. It's measuring ball speed. It's not getting spin or anything like that. Certainly not in dim conditions outside at night.
    • Has anyone tried this? Just came across it. 
    • Actually through BlueGolf the 9-hole calculation is still the old version. There's other issues to apply, I guess might be the BlueGolf system that is not updated yet. The other thing I have doubt, is where can I find in the rules of handicapping information about Modified Handicap with a capital letter on the side "M", these capital letters still aplies ? Other doubt, do you know any system that the player can post the score, and for peer review the partners can validate the score as marker on the app or system of handicap? Best. 
    • I recently conducted an interview with Fred Couples on behalf of Questions For Cancer Research.  Below, I've posted a link to Part I and we'll soon be releasing Part II.  Enjoy! Chris O'Gorman  
    • I can't access the Brazil Golf organization's information, perhaps you can tell us what you think its being done wrong.  I do know that lots of people were confused with the new method of "completing" 9-hole rounds based on "expected score" for the unplayed holes.
