Tom Morris Golf Shop – St. Andrews
I love to keep close tabs on the “Auld Grey Toon” of St. Andrews. It is my home away from home, even though I’ve only been there twice…
Good friend and Old Course caddie John Boyne tipped me off about a very neat and historic golf discovery by Roger McStravick. Mr. McStravick has been researching in the University of St. Andrews for an upcoming book, “St. Andrews, In the Footsteps of Old Tom Morris.”
The discovery was found through the reading of manuscripts from the Golf Collection in the University of St. Andrews Special Collections Department. In statements written by Old Tom Morris was information pertaining to Tom’s building of his first golf shop next to the 18th green of the Old Course in 1878.
I hope to get in touch with Mr. McStravick and do a small interview about this discovery, and also pick his brain for other great information about Old Tom, the Old Course, and the Old Gray Town. Stay tuned.

Slow news day I guess…
This article in the Broward Palm Beach New Times discusses a new bistro called “kitchen” (yes with a lower case “k”) in West Palm Beach, FL which was opened by chef Matthew Byrne and his wife. Byrne is a former personal chef for Tiger Woods.
“…for several months out of the year — South Florida. Later, he was introduced to Tiger Woods, and became not only his personal chef, but also the estate manager of his Jupiter home.”
I’m in a sarcastic mood right now. Then again, I’m always in a sarcastic mood. I was browsing Golf.com and found it mildly entertaining that in a space of roughly 3.5 inches by 5.5 inchs, there are 22 social networking icons.
Not saying its wrong or right, just find it mildly entertaining…
I almost forgot the yearly ritual of dawning the HOG skull with a Santa hat for the Christmas season!
And yes, I actually said “Christmas” and not “holiday.” No political correctness here!
Here’s another great case of “being a golf blogger doesn’t suck.” In for review are some amazing Rossignol Alltrack 120 ski boots.
Rossignol Alltrack 120 ski boots
Wait a sec… This is a golf blog.
I couldn’t help posting a picture of my new ski boots, since these are the first new ski boots I’ve owned since Ronald Reagan was president of the United States. I had just as much fun taking pictures of these beauties as I do taking pictures of golf equipment.
Perhaps it is time to start up my ski website. The golf courses here in northern Utah are closed, but the ski resorts are open!
Stay tuned for my review of the Rossignol Alltrack 120’s soon
