Happy Birthday Pops … happy birthday Tommy! 0500 – in St Andrews – it’s raining SO hard that I can’t see down the road! Eek!
0600 - step out onto the Old Course at St Andrews … meet up with Charlie the caddy
0600 & 30 seconds – rush a drive with new golf clubs – pinggggggg!
0601 – light cigar
0645 – meet up with Mike & Stephanie from the Links Trust
0700 – play in & out of bunkers – the sun keeps threatening to come out and instead it starts raining
Much later
Arrive at the 17th hole – aim at hotel – miss but onto fairway – hit huge fairway wood into the Road Hole Bunker … groan … then hit bunker shot onto green and putt out! Whoo-hoo!!!!
18th hole – drive up fairway …. Take a 7 iron and BOOM its on the green … 2 putts to end on a par!!
Dance back to the Jigger Inn for a wee scotch (Old Course Malt) … am soaking wet BUT very happy indeed! Meet Thierry Henry in lift – he says “I look terrible” … I thank him for the “compliment”...
Say bye-bye to lovely Lisa Parker from hotel and back to Dundee!
Quick note – did a Kohler Spa feature last night in the hotel. It’s one of the best spas I have seen in the UK … jumped into the icy cold plunge pool! Felt numb… am now looking for a Spa presenter to do all the spa stuff! I don’t like the cold!
Fly to London City and finish filming in the Four Seasons Canary Wharf … am staying in the Presidential Suite (awesome). It’s a lovely hotel – very friendly staff – just right. If it was in the centre of London, it would be the most popular hotel in London! It’s just 10 minutes on a rib down the Thames … I know, I tried it!
