Hello there

I just wanted to write and tell you what an enormous pleasure it was visiting the Old Course on Wednesday 6th June. I could not have felt more welcome and I was fascinated by the stories and history that surround the 9 holes which you told me about - especially Old Tom Morris walking off to sit in Mrs Forman's pub after the 4th! It was also amazing to play with the hickory clubs - I felt like I stepped back in time to 1913 or something.

It was also nice to be introduced to Alistair who was also very interesting and clearly passionate about golf and history. I left my mail for him as you may remember but have no heard anything yet. I would be interested in hearing more about the British Golf Collectors Society.

Thank you again for a memorable experience and all the best to you.

Hope to be back through again at some point.
