Dear Friend,

I trust you are having an enjoyable Saturday.

Firstly I’m sending you a “Happy Burns Night” – a celebration of the life of the great Scottish Poet Robert Burns.

Secondly I have an idea, but would really appreciate your feedback.

You see I’m passionate about St Andrews and I wondered if you would like to see more of the old grey town in terms of video clips. In fact I was thinking of a regular TV show where I get to share this magical place with you.

The internet now allows anyone with a camcorder, even mobile phone, to share interesting and fun footage with everyone around the world. It therefore seems an amazing opportunity to have a wee dram, flip on the camera and open up the world of St Andrews and other great golfing towns and courses to you. How about I shoot up to Royal Dornoch and give you a feel for this hidden gem?

I currently have no script, just loads of ideas – but in a way they are worthless if I don’t provide entertaining video that you want to see.

Therefore if the idea of watching a fun online video show based on St Andrews and the world of Scottish golf appeals please take a minute to send a comment below. I would also love to hear your stories about St Andrews and particulary the type of things you would like to see on video.

Many may be travelling here for a golf holiday this year and therefore I can easily offer my recommendations on hotels, restaurants and pubs!

How long should the show be? Maybe 3 – 10 mins every day or 15 – 30 mins every week. Only with your ideas can I produce a format that brings the Home of Golf to your desktop!

I look forward to reading your comments.

Finally today marks the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth and the official start of the Scottish Homecoming – an events programme celebrating Scotland’s great contributions to the world. Check out the video below for a flavour of the event – I just find it amusing to watch Sam Torrance sing at 13 seconds in!

Have a great weekend and if are indoors Sunday night, why not log on to this virtual whisky tasting as Andrew Dubber and Clutch Daisy taste the Isle of Jura 10 year old, the Aberlour 10 year old and the Laphroaig 10.

Happy Burns Night

Cheers

Andy

61 Karl January 26, 2009 at 4:40 am: Sounds like a great idea!

From what I heard there are a ton of gorgeous courses up north along the ocean. Might be a good excuse for you to travel around and play some new Scottish links.

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Karl,

There are many great courses in this part of the world and hope to bring some of them to your desktop.

All the best.

Andy
62 David L January 26, 2009 at 4:09 am: Good idea – I have never been there and would like to see video about St Andrews- but try to reduce the amount of text and keep the video reasonably short. I don’t want to spend more than a minute or two reading and not more than 5 minutes watching a video. Hope this helps.

Andy’s Reply:

Hi David,

I think the general opinion is that 3 minutes is about right, quality over quantity.

Cheers

Andy
63 Allan Bell January 26, 2009 at 2:29 am: Andy,

I’d be interested in seeing a 10-15 minute video each week on some of the historic courses. Would even be more interesting if you could include some historic tidbits — whether they be serious or humorous. Probably should consider speaking to some of the caddies who have been around awhile for some stories.

Allan

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Allan,

A great idea – note to self – must talk to caddies.

Cheers

Andy
64 Darren January 26, 2009 at 2:19 am: Andy, I enjoy getting all your updates/blogs, and I just wanted to let you know that I am more than willing to come over to the old country, and play a round and co-star in one of your golfing videos…you can even use my swing and break it down. Looking forward to receiving my plane ticket, cu there.

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Darren,

Now there’s an idea!

Cheers

Andy
65 David January 26, 2009 at 12:20 am: Hey andy do not forget Royal Aberdeen.

66 John January 26, 2009 at 12:18 am: Hi andy,

Great idea, i love to hear anything from home.

Best wishes

John.

Andy’s Reply:

Hi John,

I’m working on the first episode this week.

Cheers

Andy
67 John January 26, 2009 at 12:03 am: Dear Andy,

Thank you for you suggestion but my answer is no thank you. I have played the Old course many times on a simulator and one day I will come up to play it for real.

Incidently, as a schoolboy in 1943, I cycled from London to Fort William and back, with 2 friends and climed Ben Nevis, all in 3 weeks. Total expediture £6 10s. We also missed the worst air raid to hit Ealing during this trip. I also gained a taste for porridge, the Scots way while staying in Youth hostels.

Those were the days when cycling was a pleasure.

God bless,

John

Andy’s Reply:

Hi John,

Many thanks for your comments.

I can imagine the same cycle ride would be a little more stressful!

Cheers

Andy
68 John January 25, 2009 at 11:59 pm: Hi Andy,

Great idea about the videos. I would be interested in the longer, weekly viewing. I’ve never been golfing in Scotland so would relish the thought of insider information on accommodation, eating houses and the like.

p.s. I broke 80 for only the second time today (playing off 15), even though I dropped 5 shots on the 1st 2 holes. Concentrated on the 4 magic moves and had 7 pars and a birdie on the last 10 holes. Can’t wait for the start of the season and watching my handicap go into free fall.

Keep the information flowing

John

Andy’s Reply:

Hi John,

Yes this show will definitely give the insider information – I will make it my mission!

Fantastic news with the golf, keep me posted.

Cheers

Andy
69 Neville January 25, 2009 at 11:55 pm: Hi Andy,

Sounds like a great idea.

A tour of the OLD PLACE, some historical background on how St Andrews became The Home Of Golf, and a guided tour of the town would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Neville Beccaria

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Neville,

Yes everyone is asking for some history and I really want to add this to the mix.

I appreciate your comments.

Kind Regards

Andy
70 Bruce January 25, 2009 at 11:49 pm: Andy,

It would be neat to see some footage from St. Andrews. 4-5 min would be good.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your advice on the timings.

All the best.

71 Larry January 25, 2009 at 11:45 pm: Hey Andy,

You have just fired up my memories of the nice Scottish town. I was there with three mates when were studying at Aston Uni in Birmingham and we visited St Andrews twice – once in winter 1984 and the second in early Spring 1985 when I played the Old Course and the Eden. I still remember that when I played the Eden, with the winter rule, I fired a 10-over gross and my handicap then was 24. It would be nice of you to post clips of St Andrews – the town itself (don’t know if the place selling home-made soups and stuff and filled with pictures of Dirk Bogart is still around) and of the course highlighting the Swilken Burn(?), the difficulty of teeing of on the last hole over the club house, the Valley of Sin, the Seven Sisters and the tough 18th Green where the ball can run down to the adjoining road, if misjudged.

Your clips could be 3-minute snippets of the Old Course and you could also make a 30-minute one of the town itself. I run a travelogue of my trips including golf ones. You and your subscribers are invited to visit me at http://traveldaddy.blogspot.com/

Cheers!

Larry.

Andy Reply’s

Hi Larry,

Great to hear your stories.

Everyone seems to have some fond memories of St Andrews whatever the weather!

Cheers

Andy
72 Bruce January 25, 2009 at 11:11 pm: Hi Andy

Nice idea, but instead of dashing up to Dornoch, how about a golfer’s view
of the local courses in Fife and Tayside. Talk to the greenkeepers on these
courses for useful thoughts

Bruce

Andy Reply’s

Hi Bruce,

Many thanks for your comment and definitely a good point.

Cheers

Andy
73 Kim January 25, 2009 at 11:08 pm: Hi Andy,

If nails have sweet spots I think ya just got it mate.

Yeah I love St Andrews too, my only escape whilst spending more than ten years based in Dundee, working for an offshore company.

I am now based in Singapore (still miss Scotland) but seems to me the rest of the world all start their swings originating from good old St Andrews.And therefore with golf folks everywhere St Andrews is in the system perminently and probably they could never have enough of it.
I hope this helps mate?

Just remember a good old surfing tip (if in doubt GO FOR IT) has never helped my golf but may be the start of a great video show?

Thank -you and Best regards Kim

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Kim,

Glad to think you believe the idea will work.

I’m definitely going for it!

Kind Regards

75 james pilar January 25, 2009 at 9:28 pm: Andy,

I think you have agreat idea, keep it to 15to30 min, also play 1 or 2 holes to show what sets these great courses apart from other courses.

Andy’s Brown:

Hi James,

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers

Andy
76 Dr. Travis Fox January 25, 2009 at 6:43 pm: Andy,

I like your idea and would like you to consider a segment on your show with me and my work. I created the Beat the Bogey Man method and my new book on our new program is coming out this year! Let me know if you would like further this conversation and thank you in advance for your consideration.

Great to see you on the blog.

I have heard great things about Beat the Bogey Man, I will definitely be in contact.

78 martyn heyes January 25, 2009 at 3:47 pm: Andy great idea but please only once a week or it will take me away from reading secerts of golf, I really need to spend time on this,as the golf was bad before I found you.

Regards Martyn.

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Martyn,

Many thanks for your suggestion.

Cheers

79 Lenny January 25, 2009 at 2:47 pm: I think the videos are a splendid idea. I just love Scotland, although I have never been there! I have received your DVD.s and book and just love them. I am from the NE United States and usually play winter golf, but with the snowfall we’ve had this winter there hasn’t been much golf. The items I received from you have really helped pass the time. I really enjoy the interaction with you on the comp. and share your obvious passion for this great game of golf. Please keep up the great work!!

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Lenny,

It’s comments like yours that make it all worth while.

I’m really going to ramp it up in 2009 and 2010 with the Open in Turnberry and St Andrews.

Cheers

Andy
80 W. Roger Lyle January 25, 2009 at 1:56 pm: Andy,

I love the idea, and for my part you can free range off the course(s) if you like and film anything to do with Scotland. There are those of us scattered about the world to many different environs, but who know we have Scot DNA and it tugs at the heart. Single malt is my only drink, and I am better at the scotch than the golf although the “four magic moves” have helped with ball contact. I think this winter I will review them all again because bad form creeps in over time.

Thanks

Andy’s Reply:

Hi,

I have already put the wheels in motion for the first episode.

If you like your single malts check out this unique event online tonight:

81 Wallace January 25, 2009 at 1:43 pm: Sounds like a great idea. I’ve been to Scotland and loved every minute. The golf, the whisky, the sights, and the people are exceptional. Keep me informed, please.

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Wallace,

I will let you know when the first episode is online.

Thank you for your comments.

82 Kelly Lewis January 25, 2009 at 1:34 pm: I think you have ANOTHER great idea. I am sure this would be enjoyed by many.

Great to hear from you.

I will let you know when I film the first episode.

Cheers

83 Dave January 25, 2009 at 1:05 pm: Andy,

I would enjoy seeing more of the town and environs of St. Andrews. You could start with the occasional video thrown into your regular letter. I do not know if I would care to commit, or have you commit to, a regular series.

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Dave,

I thought about throwing in the odd video to the Golf Swing Secrets Revealed emails but then thought if I am going to do it properly I would do it as a separate site.

I will learn a lot from the first few episodes!

Cheers

Andy
84 Vic Parker January 25, 2009 at 12:30 pm: Hi Andy,

Your video idea is great and look forward to viewing.

I played The Old Course a few years ago with Rotary International. It was anounced over the loud speaker “On the tee Past President Vic Parker”, after some applause I made the back swing, brought the club down and topped the ball, with the ball scuttling along the ground for a short distance. Embarrassed, I certainly was!! I will not be making the same error again after your excellent golf lessons.

Cheers

Vic

Andy’s Reply:

Dear Vic,

You not the only one. Last year I saw someone skim the top of the ball (not even a top!) and it toppled off the tee in fact it may have gone backwards!

He probably went on to make a 4 or a 5 and that’s all that really matters on the scorecard!

Cheers

Andy
85 Thomas January 25, 2009 at 11:48 am: I love watching the Pros play at Saint Andrews so seeing the town that supports it would be great.

All the best.

86 Robert Holman January 25, 2009 at 11:18 am: Brilliant idea Andy !

As an ex greenkeeper, I love seeing the course as much as the golf, so I say go for it.

Hi Robert,

I bet you have a few stories!

Thanks for your kind feedback.

87 Sue January 25, 2009 at 10:12 am: Hi, Andy,

Good idea about St Andrews and Scottish courses. Don’t forget some other gems, like Crieff and Durness – the latter not famous but amazingly scenic and challenging.

Thanks for your continued advice and articles.

Sue

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Sue,

You are right there are some real gems out there that many haven’t seen.

All amazing scenic!

Take care.

Andy
88 Les January 25, 2009 at 8:45 am: Fantastic idea Andy, St Andrews is the home of golf after all, and you dont see a lot of presentations about golf courses and therir area, give it all and show the links courses in Scotland at there very best

90 Dennis January 25, 2009 at 5:10 am: Enya softly playing in the background and some of Burn’s verses narrated while we view some bonnie banks of gray and landscape.

Then some caddie comments possibly live. Some of them are quick and leathal with their sense of humor. Every true golfer even state side feels a draw to the home of golf. Build on that yerning that we all feel but only few can afford to be a part of the majesty and sense of history.Good luck.

Hi Dennis,

91 Jaipal Hundal January 25, 2009 at 4:51 am: Great idea. Would love to see the show. Ten minute show would probably be ideal. Don’t forget to post the video on You Tube as well. Look forward to seeing it.

95 Arthur January 25, 2009 at 2:22 am: Andy, I think you have an excellent idea there. I’ve walked over the Old Course – it’s public land owned by the town, and in regard to not having many trees, it only has scrub and Gorse bushes because it’s based on sand. I’d be interested to see a series of photos of any course you visit. I find videos are invariably too shaky, blurred and not clear and crisp enough to enjoy looking at. However still shots with a decent digital camera provide excellent and worthwhile viewing. Also, video’s are too big to bother with and certainly too big to keep on my PC. thanks, Arthur

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Arthur,

Many thanks for taking the time to reply.

All the best.

Cheers

Andy
96 Bert January 25, 2009 at 2:01 am: Dear Andy,

Yes, I would find it interesting to watch such a video. I haven’t been to St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf, and perhaps seeing your video will give me a nudge to make the trip.

It would be nice that you also feature the town and the surroundings, and the other places to visit and things to do there. These are not seen during the TV coverages of the British Open.

Cheers to Robert Burns!

Bert

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Bert,

Many thanks for your suggestions, I definitely want to include the town and its surroundings.

This won’t totally be about golf.

Cheers

Andy

I’m heading off to Iraq again and don’t know when I’ll get the chance to see/read this stuff, but am sure others on your list would like it.

I’m afraid I won’t be any help as far as anything further is concerned, but wish you all the best over the next year. I hope to reengage when I come back home.

102 Bill Coblentz January 25, 2009 at 12:06 am: Hi Andy. As a senior gentleman living in a rural area of the US I would love to actually see your site(not the computer site – I look at that all the time)and enjoy some of the beautiful country side(golf courses) and towns. I’m afraid I may never make it to your area, but my daughter has visited several times and loves the area. I do get some nice keepsakes from the course after her visits. I would really enjoy 3 minute shows a couple of times a month since many of us in rural areas have very slow reception speeds (no DSL) and longer sessions just get interupted and lost.

Go for it in any fashion whatever and we will all enjoy as much of the experience as we can receive.

Bill C.

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Bill,

Great to hear your daughter has had some enjoyable times over here.

The speed may be a problem but I will do what I can to help out those without DSL / broadband.

Take care.

103 reg shanhan January 24, 2009 at 11:53 pm: What a great Golfing person you are. Helping would be Golfers like yours truly. I really enjoy the snippets you post

I really think what you propose would be the Greatest interest to all. I will never get to your neck of the woods unless I Win Tatts or something like that. If I do it would not be long before I would visit Scotland Ireland etc

At the age of 81 I do not think it will happen BUT you never know. In the mean time I will keep enjoying what you send relating to Golf

My advice GO MAN GO !!

104 Roger Garrett January 24, 2009 at 11:48 pm: Andy What a great idea – please go for it. My wife and I (from New Zealand) and three of my sons (working in the UK) visited St Andrews in ’04, and my wife absolutely fell in love with the place. We had visited her father’s birthplace in Dundee before going to St,A., stayed at Drumoig, played the Old Course and the New Course, and had a couple of rounds of Drumoig – a newish course (4 yrs old at that stage). I thought Drumoig had enormous potential, and it contained two of the best holes of golf I have ever played. I’d love to get back there, but at my age and with my retirement income it is not looking too likely, and only one of my sons still works in the UK.

So I will be able to revisit the wonderful area through your videos. Many thanks in anticipation.

Cheers,

Roger Garrett

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Roger,

With words like that how can I say this idea won’t work.

For those like yourself who have visited in the past it should be fun to see how things have changed or not.

I will get to work on the first video.

109 Tracy January 24, 2009 at 11:03 pm: Hi Andy, love your new idea. Now here’s my idea… my family lineage is the Keith Clan of Dunnottar Castle. I’ve always wanted to see it and play golf in Scotland. Why not show me around and film it? It would be great to see someone experience Scotland for real and play the courses..wouldn’t it? It would be the opportunity of a lifetime for me and I think it would make the show personable and keep folks coming back to see what I do each episode..hey let me know! I’d have to start scheduleing around my summer tournament stuff! ( I visited your Twitter page too, sent the idea there)

Hope to hear from you!!! Tracy

Hi Tracy,

Now there’s an idea!

Not sure why wife would be too keen!

I film though try to film some of the tourist attractions.

First off let me say, I truly love the game of golf. Being a Physician, I do not have the time I’d like to devote to the game. That said, I would love to see more of Scotland and especially St. Andrews.

Always willing to learn more. I think yours is a great idea. Good luck and I look forward to watching your show!

114 George January 24, 2009 at 10:40 pm: Hi Andy ,

Yes, I would support your idea of producing a video show on St Andrews .

Perhaps, as a start, having it as a once-a-week series would be ideal…..each ” episode ” could be , say, 15 minutes at the most .

Good Luck.

We’re staying at the Russell Hotel, if you know it I hope you can reccomend it. Please tell us of any other golfing destinations that you know of (preferably not quite so costly). If you care to come to the hotel between the 14th and 17th of April I’m sure that we can stand you a wee dram. Hope you had a fabulous Burns Night and woke up with your mouth feeling like a “wee and timourous beastie”. All the best Clive

Hi Clive,

Watering holes will be easy!

Yes the Russell Hotel on the Scores will be a great place for your stay.

Kind Regards

Andy

Having been born and brought up in Methil, just around the coast from St Andrews, I am fairly familiar with St Andrews. But you may come up with some gems of which I was unaware, so please go ahead with your suggested series.

I would also be interested in learning about other parts of Scotland that you have visited. As to length of the film, 10-15 minutes should suffice.

119 Nigel January 24, 2009 at 10:11 pm: I would love to get to St Andrews to see the course let alone play it. Great idea for shows.

Would be nice to see some of the great courses.

I played at Celtic Manor this week and was looking at the Ryder Cup 2010 course. Perhaps you may like to include this one to?

Magic moves are improving nicely – still working on the self hypnosis

Kind Regards

Niel

Hi Niel,

Thanks for the feedback.

If I get down to Wales I will try to include it.

Cheers

120 Frank January 24, 2009 at 9:39 pm: 250 years old..WOW You would think there would be more trees on the course?? I have St. Andrews on a Microsoft Golf Game that is very realistic and that doesn’t show many trees either. Don’t they grow there?

Andy’s Reply:

Hi Frank,

Notn really on a links lcourse as this was the stretch of land between the town and sea that was naturally undulating and but of little agricultural value.

Cheers

Andy
