    Playa in Chief I'm catching up on your Scottish oddyssey, so glad you went to RAGC. I did an Aberdeen trip 15 years ago and loved it. The wind was the other way for us and the front 9 was almost a spiritual golfing experience for me - such a beautiful place. The back 9 into the wind beat the absolute sh** out of me though! I wish I'd had your wisdom back then. Love your work.

    I appreciate as much as anyone that you manage play very well. I would also argue that we seem to be avoiding the driver as maybe it’s not your strong point, but when you look at the tour, no one is teeing off with an 8 iron. I think the driver is like every other club. A tool to gain yardage.

    Mattie: As a partly famous golf legend (Dennis Hutchinson) once said " stay with the ball a little longer..." meaning let the right shoulder knock your head out the way in the down swing. That will give you better strike line and loft. A lot of your shots are starting right and going right. You got bt another 10-12 rounds to get to zero. This is an easy on course trick u can use.
