Funny Golf Stories | Golf Monthly

First tee at the Old Course between Christmas and New Year - early morning in a gale - hellish hangover from night before. Playing with a member of the R&A and two members of The New. Being the low h'cap (off 6 at the time) I was invited to show the way. So backswing - buffetted by wind and ... just tickled the ball off the front of the tee. Oops. Everyone else drives off nicely. I wander up to my ball just off the front of the tee and cream a three iron under the gale straight at the flag. Turns around nodding approvingly to myself. Three partners standing there arms folded, smiling and shaking their heads. Member says ' aye - good shot son - wrong golf course'. I belted my ball straight out of bounds at a flag on the neighbouring (Jubilee?) course. Oh well - that's St Andrews for you.

Don't know if it's very funny - but everyone in the fourball laughed - even me with my hangover
