What do you think golfers love

about the Old Course?

I believe it’s mainly the history. The Old Course is an

iconic course, people playing the 17th hole or the 18th

hole know that they are quite legendary. They come

here to experience the spirit of the game and to expe-

rience an emotional connection while playing. The

1st tee and 18th greens are in the shadow of The Royal

and Ancient Golf Clubhouse which is the most recog-

nizable view in golf. I think they come here to experi-

ence that and to challenge themselves as well. The Old

Course is a classic links course, it isdifferent toanyoth-

er, especially for golfers who come from North Amer-

ica or South America. When the wind blows across the

course it canbe difficult toplay. Evenprofessional golf-

ers find the course testing in typical Scottish weather

(windand rain!).

Maybe they feel like they are fol-

lowing in the footsteps of their

golf heroes?

I think so. St Andrews has created many champions.

Thosewholookbackintogolf’shistorymightlookupto

TomMorris or the young TomMorris and some people

do take it back that far. Certainly these kind of courses

provoke memories; there have been a lot of victories

here and memorable Championships. I would say yes,

they do feel this and people come here to get to play

on the course where so many champions and legends

havetoplay.Thecourseispubliclyownedwhichpeople
