I love watching those guys play that course, I still chuckle about the " match " our foursome played at Carnoustie on a lovely late September day a few years ago. I was the guy with the highest handicap ( nine ) this was my fourth round on this great links course and was really looking forward to combining my " skills " with my brother against our two opponents'. We teed off in a light breeze, no problem, by the fourth hole it started to blow hard off the sea, forget it, we are all " toast " there was no more precision golf shots played, simply " hit and hope " the wind would grab your Titelist and deposit it in deep, skin removing gorse bushes, gone forever. The low gross score in our foursome was 91 ( well played sir ! ) but we comforted ourselves in the plush lounge afterwards with some fine malt whisky. I would love to see how these guys would play if the wind really howled as it can at Carnoustie Links.
