Hamish:

I believe it was Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) who called golf "a good walk, spoiled." Further, he's reputed to have said of golf that it involved chasing a gutta-percha ball around a pasture with an instrument singularly unsuited to the purpose.

Then again, any chance to be outdoor in a kilt . . . well that can't be a bad thing!

Also a great shot and a fantastic looking kilt.
