Dave Savoring His 41 Over the Himalayas
The Monarchs House Championship
Post the best score on the Himalayas Putting Green while staying at Monarchs House and we will engrave your name and score on the Claret Jug replica for time immemorial.
The Himalayas is the historic putting green alongside of the Old Course and the home course of the St. Andrews Ladies Putting Club founded in 1867. The course, resembling an ancient burial grounds for elephants, is laid out weekly and enjoys many competitive matches and 50,000 rounds per annum by the general public.
Congratulations to this year’s 2010 winner, Dave Kusy from New York, NY.

Did Someone Mention Rain?
It does indeed rain in Scotland but in St Andrews not nearly as much as you might think. Since we are asked this question almost as many times as, “Can you get us on the Old Course?”, we thought we would share some intelligence with you that might be useful for you when planning your trip to St Andrews.
The table below highlights the 2010 monthly (to date) precipitation in St Andrews. We compare it to two other wonderful golf destinations, Turnberry in Scotland and Hilton Head in the U.S. Also, we thought we would show you how it compares against Rome, Italy and Boston, Massachusetts. We could have measured rainfall against London, Paris, New York and Miami to name a few, and St Andrews would still turn up favourably on top. (Keep in mind that while data is from 2010, it is fairly indicative of St Andrews weather.)
Haste ye back to the St Andrews sunshine!
