Subject: BS: The (150th) Open - St. Andrews, 2010
The most famous course I played is being used today - the 150th Open is at St. Andrews. My card, from 1988, doesn't have a diagram, and I recall being surprised when my good-looking chip-and-run on the 1st suddenly disappeared into an unseen wee burn...double bogey...

Poem 97 of 230: COLLECTING THE CARDS

Some folks are plant diehards,
    Others keep foreign coins;
Twitchers collect sightings,
    And golfers their scorecards.

My hobby's the latter,
    And, in many places,
I've managed just one round -
    Scores? Another matter!
