The were a delightful couple with a good sense of humor. I asked about their courses and it struck me funny that they are each members of 2 different country clubs but not each others. He told me the rough in Scotland is different and that is doesn't get tangled in your club like here. She said that here she has to hit one club more than back home. She suspects it's the air here. They love the villages and found the place in a golf magazine. They also said that only tourists play at the big name courses and their a small named courses that are just as nice but not nearly as expensive.

tomwed I play with a guy who consistently wins club champion back home. He also said that he uses one more club length when playing in TV.
As to tees i do not believe the type of tee matters. consider for instance if your in the rough and the ball is sitting up its as good as being teed up. Beside I prefer to hit the cheap wood tees because you can hit them and forget them and I'm not one for searching for minutes at a time to search and retrieve my tee it goes against ready golf
