Dear readers,
The e-mail below was in response to Ask Linda #1829-Player creates divot to serve as a tee, posted on October 23.
Hi Linda,
The purpose of this email is to thank you for reminding me of my late father – a fine scratch golfer who passed on all his enthusiasm for the game to his son, but sadly not all of his talent. Reading this question, I could see him on the tee of a par 3, knocking up a wedge of turf to perch his ball on. Happy memories! Those were the days when on a Scottish links course there was a box containing wet sand on the tee. Many a time as a kid I’ve teed a ball up on a little heap of sand.
So, thanks for the memories!
Best wishes,
Lou from Scotland
