St Andrews weren't bad, well not the Old Course, but the other courses, pretty cheap and easy to get a T-time, when the in-laws went over to the UK for a holiday, we got them a couple t-times for around £20...only afterwards that a mate said his dad works at the ******* place and could have winged us t time on the old course...but the folks didn't have a good enough handicap *l*

I was looking at the stats for best US school states. I noticed that top ranking schools were mostly in the North East & the worst ones were all South West states! I wonder why, could the weather have anything to do with it?!?!
