Don't feel bad, Brandon. I remember being at the Old Course for The Open Championship in 1995 and watching Ian Baker-Finch hook his tee shot on the the first hole across the 18th and out of bounds, and I believe Finchie was thought of as a better player than you at the time.

I played the Old Course in Oct of 2005, just after the most recent Open there. After Tiger lifted the Jug and Jack waved goodbye on Swilcan, my three golfing buddies and I were there to revel in the town, the whisky and of course the Old Course.
Memories include parring both the First and the Last, two-putting from 120 feet on the 5th, parring the treacherous par 3 11th, clearing the building on the Road Hole, but ending up on the Road, putting from the Road (dlb bogey).
And especially walking on "cloud nine" all the way around. Not seeming real, but it was, and it was wonderful.

The first time one of my buddies played the Old Course, he was so nervous that he whiffed. Second attempt was slightly better, topped about 50 yards. And he's around a 6-7 handicapper.
