    Robin,

    WOW!

    What was the distance and what club were you using?

    Cheers

    Beautiful tartan, been on my wish list a while. Pics of the pleatwork appreciated if you can, okay if you can't.

    Don't know from golf but guessing you come close to doing something perfect.

    Congrats,

    It was a short (100 yards) par 3 hole, played it with a 54 degrees sand wedge (Titleist Vokey "Oilcan" wedge).

    There was a huge bunker in front of the green, so I needed a drop and stop shot...worked pretty well

    Yep, shot number 2 is a gimme. Now gimme the kilt. Lovely tartan. I've got an ancestral connection to Skye, and now a reason to honor it.

    AAAHHHHHH! I guess I'm a pleat-to-stripe man. Love, love, love that kilt, PD. To which stripe is it pleated? Wow! (drooling all over myself) Did I say AAHHHHH! yet?
