I finally made it to the Big Room!    

That’s right–the locker/lounge of the R&A (that’s the Royal & Ancient Golf Club for you duffers).  Of course we had to wait until St Andrews Day to get in, because that’s the only day of the year when non-members like us can walk in.  Yup, here we are just paces from the honorary locker of Arnold Palmer and so many other less-well-known-but-serious golfers.  What a classy joint!  What a view!  I’ve done the math: if only I could live for about another 100 years I might have a chance of shooting my age.  :’)
