I once did that with Seve at the Scottish Open at Carnoustie, in 1995. Bloke was my idol and I smacked his erse with a portaloo door. He wisna happy. Onwize. Will you need to be a member at the PLGC to be able to use the practice putting green, and chipping area? You used to have to be a member fin it wiz Aspire, but will you be allowing folk to use it, the same way they can use the driving range - walk up? Hardly anywhere in Aberdeen where you can specifically practice your short game. Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Started going to last day of The Open each year with my Da after following Paul on his last round in '99. Really enjoyed some of the courses and had some good laughs. Stopped going in 2006 when I went away for work for a while. Some highlights: Not getting out of the stand by the 18th at Muirfield to go for a piss or we'd lose our seats, so knocking on the door to the scoreboard and going in to piss in a bottle. Problem is I'd had a dozen or so beers so bladder was on full stretch - overfilled the bottle and my pee spilled out. Some Yanks in the back row of the stand I could see through the cracks in the scoreboard got some watery Scottish pish on their backs as a memento of Scotland. Bumping into Jackie Bird and copping a feelie (honestly didn't mean it). Wishing the little wifie beside me would shut up while I was watching Tiger Woods putt (at Lytham I think), turning and giving her a dirty look - saw she was a bit on the chicken oriental side of things and had two huge minders - turned out it was Eldrick's Ma. Going for a piss in a portaloo at St Andrews behind the 14th (I think). When I came back Thomas Levet was walking off the green. Quite like him so shouted "Allez Thomas!" to show my support. He gave me a death stare - nae really like him - then found out he'd just double bogeyed to fall out of contention - my "Go Thomas" wasn't really appropriate. Best day ever was the final round in '99. Followed Paul not expecting him to win (who did?). A few hours later, soaked to the skin walking up the 18th on the play-off singing "Flower of Scotland" because Paul had two putts to win The Open (who needs two). My old man says it is the best day of his life. We hung about at the end and landed up round the right hand side of the hotel. Mark James (Ryder Cup captain at the time) came up to us and said "What are you guys doing here?" We bluffed it and said "We're mates of Pauls". He heard the accents and believed us and said, "Oh ok, come round then." Went to back of hotel where there was a reception area, Paul surrounded by folk. We chickened out at that point and went out, across the railway to the pub and got pissed before going back up the road. Should've chanced it, no-one would have noticed - nae often you'd get a drink off the R&A. Some of the TV footage has us lurking about in the background!! Link to comment

Can I ask, I see that you played 11 holes with Darren Clarke at Portrush earlier in the year, plus I assume the pro-am on wednesday. But how can you suss a course out in only a few rounds, ahead of a tournament? Is it additionaly down to a good caddie? Link to comment

Is it additionaly down to a good caddie? even if i havnt played the course before one practise round is enough to get lines from tees etc , my caddie was here on monday and walked the course twice before i arrived , and we had a good look during the pro am paul Link to comment

Dynamo Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Fit time ye teeing off at Trump today? Is it a closed event? He's not playing in it. Just there for opening I believe he said a couple pages back. Mrs Doubtfire is though. Link to comment
bonzodaddy73 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Got my ticket for Castle Stewart, hopefully your there on the Saturday Paul. I promise to punch anyone who shouts "in the hole" at a tee shot on a par 5. Fucking morons. Link to comment
tup Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Heard Lawrie on the radio this morning, banging on about Trump's course, waxing lyrical, must be getting a freebie I thought to myself. First time I've heard him speak. He sounds less posh than I 'at first thought' to quote Graeme Souness. He's gone up in my estimation, slightly. Link to comment
tup Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Paul I order you to win this Scottish Open carry on. My advice, already dispensed, depends on it. Yours faithfully Tup Link to comment
