    I prefer to walk and carry my bag, just feel closer to the game, unless the course is very hilly or required by the course. Not having a pocket to carry 'stuff' isn't a problem.

    Gryphonaire and myself went to the driving range for the first time kilted last Friday morning (next time we'll hit the links). We solved the sporran problem the easy way...we both wore Utilikilts.

    Cheers and Good Golfing to all

    The Schenectady Pipe Band sponsors a kilted golf tournament every year. That's probably where ckelly's friends were headed.

    Bob, We are all actually Saratoga, NY Hibernians and have a good relationship with the Schenectady folks. We were at our own golf outing last year when that picture was taken. The guy in the middle runs the Irish shop on Broadway and sells kilts and accessories for those in need locally. I will have to find out when the pipe band outing is this year. Probably a good excuse to wear my Black Stewart.

    Out on a limb....

    Just a thought. Since golf was invented in Scotland, and it seems I remember pictures of early players wearing kilts, doesn't it seem logical that the kilt would be, I don't know, perfectly suited for the game?

    Thanks for response

    Thanks for response, guys. I'll certainly be the first kilted player at my local golf club.

    The kilt looks great. The socks you are wearing are, to me, more appropiate for golf anyhow. One question, is this just a staged pic, or are you playing a round of night golf? I played in a night tournament once and it was the most fum I've ever had playing golf. Of course, that could have something to do with the format. It was a captain's choice tournament. We teed off at 6 PM and played 9 holes. Then all the groups came back to the clubhouse to await full darkness, of course, with an "open bar", before playing the second 9 in total darkness.
