hi jocky
yes its a great day and you never think about the cold, not a day to take your car thats for sure with a nip at each hole lol
its like a big party and you look forward to seeing people you only see once or twice a year and the score dont matter like jocky said its about just getting round. lol

jocky did you ever try playing with the hickery clubs you hire down at the old course in musselburgh, even have old balls the your lucky to get over 150 yard with new drivers. they have a new year day comp where the guys dress in 1800 tweeds and play with real old clubs it much the same as up at the royal with lots of drink to keep you warm inside. i did see your uncle up on the board in the royal few weeks ago, he won a few things too i was told.
