St Andrews........FOUR!!..........$195

One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.
Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story.  Read on in this series.....
We once again visit Scotland where it is now most certainly “go to the pub” weather….but if you’re not in the pub and enjoy walking in the sleet and horizontal rain, well then St Andrews is for you in your next constitutional walk.




The world’s oldest course was established in 1400 and is possibly the hardest in the world to play. It has pitfalls that make even Tiger Woods shudder. There are hidden holes, shared greens, gigantic sand pits (112 bunkers in all!!!!) and there’s even an old bridge to negotiate. But its sheer beauty as a golf course is breathtaking. It really is the home of golf and must be played if you ever can. If you’re within 500 miles of the place, you have no excuse not to visit and play a round…..enter the round ballot and have a shot.
Old Course Open Champions include Tiger, Jack, Seve and a true links man for our times John Daly. Albeit golf links are John’s forté, we today bestow on our Old Course of St Andrews Open Champion of 1995, John Daly, honorary status as a ”cuff links” man of our times!


John in better days as the 1995 St Andrews Old Course Open Champion


Today’s links were bought at the Old Course of St Andrews after a horrendous round that saw the demise of a good many golf balls…..the links are worn with a Thomas Pink cotton shirt.


 
FOUR….

ONWARD
