So originally, he was just ignorant... I get it now. :)

Sheep used depressions where the sand was exposed to shelter from the
wind. Over time, these became enlarged with use, and many were the
origin for the famous bunkers on St. Andrews (and other links courses).
The revetting was not the work of the sheep.

We played both Brora and Golspie on that leg of the trip. Loved the
par 3's @ Golspie. Spent the majority of our time at the 2 Royal
Dornoch courses. Magical land, the Championship course is.
Litterally the finest course I have ever had the opportunity/
privaledge to play. I hope you were able to play it as well.

That's where we met Patty the Chatty Caddie who introduced us to Jura,
the only scotch I'll drink.

Ah, yes, honey and marzipan, and the rest. Good choice.

See what these loons who want to stay in Oregon are missing? (Apart from
the Pinots, of course :-))
