Again forgive my ignorance of all things golf but what is a scratch golfer and do your scores make you that? You two want to go to Scotland I am in. We still have land there. Both sides of family are from there. I would skip the golf course portion but we love Scotland. Well I reckon I could carry your clubs for you, nominal fee of course!
A scratch golfer has a zero-handicap based on a 20-round average scoring par or better. The par at our course is 71 so I'd have to average around 71 to be a scratch golfer.
Yes next couple years we're going over for a couple weeks drink and play some golf. Saw on tv across the street from St. Andrews a couple from Texas has owned and ran the local bar for the past 25 years. We've had friends do it a couple years ago, so they know where and what to do and stay. It will be a hoot!!
