Magic in St. Andrew's



Earlier this summer, Shawn P. Watters and his son, Emmett, took a trip to Scotland in order to partake in the 150th anniversary of the British Open. The two took to the Old Course at St. Andrews for everyday of tournament play, marveling in some of the world's greats. In the end, South African Louis Oosthuizen took the title, beating Lee Westwood by seven strokes! The weather was a bit iffy - play was even suspended due to the wind - but the golfers took it in stride. Highlights for Shawn included seeing Tiger putt on the 18th hole, watching all the golfers flocking to the fish and chip stands during the suspended play, and checking out the inside of the clubhouse, including the players' locker rooms. This is a privilege very few are granted. Included with this post are photos from the Old Course at St. Andrew's. Stay tuned for more updates on Shawn's trip to Scotland, including looks at both Edinburgh and Glasgow.
