You can tell a person's character very quickly on the golf course.
Many would say that the well known courses in Scotland are very difficult. My husband just braved the rain and wind and the pot bunkers and the challenging rough and enjoyed the game. He always plays well.

Several comments:
1) This Thread has nothing to do with "the Patience of athletes".
2) It is not about the 40 years of lovely people you have played golf with
3) It is not about how well or poorly your spouse plays golf
4) Hacienda Hills is not in Scotland not does it have to do with how wet and windblown someone might have been playing there.
5) I sincerely trust that your reference to a players character was not intended as a reference to me
6) Hacienda Hills in not a difficult course but it most certainly is currently in very poor (deplorable) condition.
As the moderator implied in a recent post, comments should be directed to the subject of the Thread.
