ST ANDREWS

I went to Scotland a few years ago, at about this time of the year.

I wanted to play the Old Course

I approached the starter and he sent me out.

I finished my first round.

I approached the starter and he sent me out again

I spent the second day the same way, playing twice.

I approached the starter on the third day and he sent me out.

I finished my fifth round in three days.

I approached my now good friend, the starter, and he sent me out.

I finished my sixth round

I approached him again and asked him if he gave out discounts.

"The fourth round the same day is free," he said.

Scottish thrift.

Scottish humor.
