EP 8 St Andrews

What's special about the Old Course? Is it the sense of history as you stand on the first tee? The proximity to the warm, toffee-coloured sandstone of the imposing R&A Clubhouse just behind you or, glancing left, the huge estate of the 18th green and the Valley of Sin, now much deeper than it looks on television?

We discuss everything St Andrews on this weeks podcast as we anticipate the 150th Open teeing off Thursday.
