[Yoda]

I can beat that one easily
Involves two car journeys, two flights (one being a trans atlantic one) and a change in timezone.

And Alex has done it . . .

Twice!

Plus, he's been my personal guide -- and Mrs. Yoda's, too! -- when we've been on his side of the pond. He coordinated my teaching gigs at Gleddoch House in Langbank and World of Golf in Glasgow (where we later visited his favorite haunt . . . an Italian restaurant! ). Along the way, he served admirably as part of our 'evening' crew with Brian Gay and Kip Henley at Cameron House in Loch Lomond. Not to mention being my gallery bud at The Barclays Scottish Open and my golf partner at Dundonald, Carnoustie and St. Andrews.

Thanks, Alex . . .

You're the best!
