“The Old Course”

photo credit: beltzner   St. Andrews, known as “the home of golf,” is hallowed ground although some would rather forget about it.  Here are what a few of the greats have had to say about it:

Tony Lema > “St. Andrew?  I feel like I’m back visiting an old grandmother.  She’s crotchety and eccentric but also elegant.  Anyone who doesn’t fall in love with her has no imagination.”  Sam Snead > “Say!  That looks like an old abandoned golf course.  What did they call it?”  Nick Faldo >  “When it blows here, even the seagulls walk.”  Jack Nicklaus > “A British Open at the home of golf is the most intriguing and maybe the most demanding challenge in the entire game.”  Scott Hock > “The worst piece of mess I’ve ever played.”
