// Publisher notes //

In No.12, Richard Pennell discovers the joys of Rosapenna. Boris Lietzow shows us round his hickory shop in Gullane, and Jamie Darling plays Among Lofty Sandhills experiencing the original 12 holes of Prestwick. Seaton Carew prospers against all odds, and Tommy Twigley's 56 degree wedge, affectionately know as Uncle Phil, goes missing. The true face of golf is not Scottie Scheffler or Rory McIlroy, or some other factory-produced, absurdly wealthy, golf professional. It is 86 year old Sandy Watson of Southend, who lives 50 yards from the 1st tee at Dunaverty. All of this and more in The Links Diary No.12.
