Journeys: St. Andrews | The Old Course

Just down the road from the Old Course, we start this episode at the Crail Golfing Society where David Roy, the club’s manager, provided the history of the club and a sense of Old Tom’s impact on the design of the Balcomie Links, which he built when he was in his late-60s and early-70s. Meanwhile, on the course, wind was a factor. The crew puts down the cameras, grabs clubs and pull-carts, and we take on Old Tom’s architecture and the elements. We have similar conditions when we play the Old Course, where there’s a ricochet off the Rusack’s Hotel that leads to a birdie. And then a trip to the R&A Museum, where we get more Old Tom Morris information and eyes on the modernized display of interactive history. Sheila Walker, the great-great-great granddaughter of Old Tom Morris, is back to share details of how she’ll watch the final round of the 150th Open Championship. You know, from the same window Old Tom used to watch from, in what was his house and now is her house, which overlooks the 18th green.
