Be The Right Club Today- Golf Aficionado's Rob Spellman Talks British Golf Trips

So we're not the hottest part of the country for some reason.

no yeah my dad lives uh over uh north of daytona beach and i was up in virginia playing golf the other day and i was at 95 and he was at 83. so uh yeah there you go it was perfect for you guys down there um todd we got some across the pond golf coming up the next two weeks we've got the scottish open followed by the open championship at burkdale um kind of a part of the season i enjoy

I do, too.

I like this two-week stretch.

I like watching the Scottish.

Kind of gives you an idea who's rolling on Link's golf courses going into the Open Championship.

And it's usually a really good field as well.

Yeah, and I don't know, Rob.

You've played a little bit over in Scotland, England, Ireland.

You know, for guys that go over to play in the Scottish versus guys that don't go to play in the Scottish before they go to the Open Championship...

I mean, I've played in Italy, and that's pretty much it that I've played with over in Europe.

I didn't really have much of an adjustment.

What do you feel like? Is there an adjustment period that you need to kind of get going over there? I mean, we see a lot of guys go.

Some guys don't.

No, I think...

Definitely the more experience you have, the better off, right? Like, you know, the more seasoned guys, like I always think of Tom Watson when I think of like an American that really excelled in Europe.

But You know, you know, these guys are so elite.

I mean, you could probably put them anywhere and they're going to golf well, but it is a different game.

The conditions are different and and they're kind of like us, too.

I want to say like in in Europe in particular, right? Their irrigation philosophy is a lot different than ours.

So if they're having a really dry summer, you're going to notice it.

The course is going to be brown.

It's not going to be getting the water that we would here in the States.

So the conditions are a lot different.

But to me, it's almost if you're going to commit and you're going to go and try to win a claret jug, you should be playing the Scottish, in my opinion.
