Off to Scotland

The Blue Elephants - at least eight of us calling ourselves "Blue Elephants" - head to Scotland this week to play the Pink Elephants at Royal Troon.

Most of us depart on Thursday, July 7, arriving in the morning on July 8. Our first of two matches against the "Pinkies" will be on Saturday at noon. Needless to say, we're excited.

Royal Troon was the site of The Open Championship last year. But that's not why we're excited. We have a great group of guys going: Blair Leburn and Rick Hall from Golf Digest; my good friend Peter Joos, who's now living in London; Michael Scott and Nick Green, the partners in MacDuff Golf; Rick's and Michael's friend, Tony Orfanos; and Neil MacKenzie (good Scottish name) and me from BURRIS. Great group.

I'll be keeping up with things for this ol' golfography blog. And/or you can check the Royal Troon web cam on Saturday or Sunday, about mid-day here in the states. We'll be coming into 18 with either thumbs up or cries for another pint!

Go to "Courses," then click on the webcam. Maybe we'll see you.
