Wow the new HOG hats made by Pukka Headwear are blowing up!
A loyal HOG and TGS follower “onoacop” managed to get Hank Haney and his wife Suzanne to sign a HOG hat! How cool is that?
The field strength at the Scottish Open this week is much stronger than this week’s John Deere Classic. I’ve had a hard time finding a decent listing of coverage which corresponds with the coverage I’m getting on my TV. Using my DirecTV guide I’ve posted the times below, which don’t correspond to Golf Channel’s listed times on their web site.
Friday (today) I have the Scottish Open now on Golf Channel. It is listed as 7:30am-11:30am MST, or 9:30am-1:30pm ET.
Saturday‘s DTV program guide is showing as 8:15am-12:15pm ET on Golf Channel. Golf Channels online guide however shows the coverage starting at 10:30am ET and ending at 12:30pm ET.
Sunday‘s final round coverage is showing on DTV’s guide as 8:30am-12:30pm on Golf Channel. Golf Channel’s web site shows coverage as 1:00pm ET to 3:00pm ET.
I’ve made it back into the USA from Glasgow, Scotland. Glasgow was the departure airport for my St. Andrews trip. I’m staying over here in Philly at my best bud’s house and flying tomorrow to home. Sad to leave Scotland, but glad to be getting home.

The busy schedule and lack of internet connectivity has kept me from any lengthy posts during the last week, but rest assured I’ll have many posts about golf in Scotland, as well as about a million photos of the Old Course at St. Andrews as well as the Jubilee, New Course, Castle Course, Kingsbarns, Eden and Strathtyrum. Yes, I played them all and some more than once, like the Old Course. Wait a sec. I also played Applebrook here in Philadelphia the day we left for St. Andrews last week. Woa. Golf overload.
Plane ride tomorrow from Philly to Salt Lake and HOG World Headquarters.
Well I’d like to wish a happy 4th of July and happy birthday to the USA today. I spent the day playing Scottish golf! No better way to celebrate the fourth I suppose.
Today my pals and I played the absolutely amazing Castle Course here in St. Andrews. This place is stunning! See image below and look for a new HOG Castle gallery soon.
After the Castle round, we headed down to town and played the New Course at St. Andrews. The “New” Course opened in 1895…
This is an auto-post set to go live on July 4. Happy birthday to my home country, the USA! I’m enjoying myself right now, golfing in St. Andrews. If I don’t return, it has been nice knowing you.
