On a par with the golf itself is the chance to sit back and share your stories of the links. The pot bunker from hell, the birdie at the road hole, the perfectly struck four iron into wind that went 100 yards, the putt that measured over 200 ft. All enjoyed inside a warm bar with a pint or a wee nip. Perfect.
