You're a lucky man Alex. I followed Brian for a few holes yesterday I hadnt seen this thread so wasnt aware of the injury. He didnt miss the centre of the fairway with any drive that I saw. He was unlucky on 7 where his approach was all over the pin but ran through the back. I spotted Lynn but when I caught up at the 8th hole (Brians 17th) he had disappeared. Maybe just as well as I may have made him late for dinner talking G.O.L.F.

Brian missed the green and put his ball in the green side bunker on 8. With a very tight pin he played a great shot with what looked like a pause minor stroke with a vertical hinge, a tap in putt for an easy 3 and a birdie at 9 got him back under par.

The scottish weather certainly held up and it was sun screen weather for me. I even saw Yoda take the sleeves out of his rain jacket!

With a later start things should be warmer for Brian and he'll have more time to warm up. I certainly think he could go low.

Good luck to Graeme Storm as well who is from the same part of the country as me. Yodas magic must have rubbed off on him too.
