Day Three – The Old Course
Anyone who has visited St Andrews will tell you, the winds of the British Isles are something special. On Saturday of The Dunhill Links, Scotland sent some of their finest to St Andrews. The rule of thumb at St Andrews is that when the winds reach a sustained velocity of 30mph, the golf balls have a hard time staying still on the greens. With gusts up to 50mph, it only took about 10 minutes of play before a conclusion was reached. The third round was cancelled and the tournament was shortened to 54 holes. My cab driver put it eloquently.
