    I've walked the course & stood on the postage stamp tee, never played it though.
    One of the great Scottish quirks, is that you can freely walk your dog along & onto these famous links.
    Might not be able to afford to play it, but can still enjoy it.

    “It may take a lifetime to learn this golf courses infinite complexities” but it only took Henrik Stenson 72 holes. Great video, excited to have the Open back at Troon.

    Usually there isn't much said about Troon being at the top of the Rota but after this video it's definitely opened my eyes to how astoundingly awesome this course is. I especially enjoyed the three acts of the course and that came through clearly. Keep these coming for the top classic courses---they really are amazing. I'd love to see Fishers Island, Chicago Golf, Royal County Down, Royal Dornoch, Merion, Olympic, Royal Melbourne, Shinnecock Hills

    As with any Open Championship, it’s always more entertaining the more the wind blows. This is especially true at Royal Troon, because the back nine there can be brutal if there’s a 20-30 mile an hour wind in your face on that back 9.

She sounds as though these courses are the best in the world and only a very few select exclusive people can play them and then there are the pros …this off limits world where us mere mortals revere these golfing icons as gods. Really!!??? Let me reassure every one of you…i have traveled the world and i can promise you an irrefutable even immutable fact of truth….there are golf courses out there that are way way better than these British Open chamoiomship rota classsic links courses.
