In this episode Andy visits Kingsbarns Golf Links for the ToolStop Rotary Kingsbarns Charity Golf Day held on Monday 26 October 2009. This was a Grand Match between Scotland North, England & Scotland South for the Chesterhills Claret Jug & The Kilrymont Vase. It was arranged by The Rotary Club of St Andrews Kilrymont and they are delighted to thank all of their sponsors.
The biggest tragedy in golf. Jean van de Velde’s collapse at the Open Championship at Carnoustie in 1999. A double bogey 6 or better was all that seperated the Frenchman from the Claret Jug. He made a 7!!!!!! He lost the resulting 3 way playoff to local hero Paul Lawrie. I uploaded this video as Carnoustie which is currently holding the Open, will always remind me of Jean’s antics at the last. I have a blog entry of the tragic event. You can find it here
