On a sunshine filled February day I took time out to film the very first episode of HomeofGolf.tv.
It was fun to stroll around the 18th and 17th greens before deciding to check out the views over West Sands and the Old Course from The Seafood Restaurant.
As luck would have it Ross Frame, the restaurant manager at The Seafood Restaurant, was kind enough to chat to me about their menu of the day. I always highly recommend a meal at this award winning restaurant.
Afterwards I met Elizabeth Palompo, owner of Cameron House Guest House, who gave me a great insight into when to book accommodation for the 2010 Open Championship and also all year around. Plus I had a chat with American Robbie, a long time patron, about his twice yearly visits to the Home of Golf.
Finally a quick trip to the Castle before wrapping up by the 1st hole on the Old Course.
Please leave a comment and let me know what you thought of the first episode. Additionally what is your most memorable Open Championship moment?
Cheers
Andy

Thanks for your video clip on St Andrews and places to stay. Loved the shot of the Castle, when I was young I climbed the sea face to get into the Castle from the beach. The security guy’s did not seem happy and I was escorted to the main gate.
I no longer live in St Andrews, so keep up the show as it bring back memories of my family some came from St Andrews & Prestwick (The Morris’ from St Andrews and the Hunter’s from Prestwick). My fathers home was 6 Pilmour Links.

Have just watched all four videos, I enjoyed them and I hope you make more.
Favourite Open? Well, coming from New Zealand, it has to be Bob Charles 1963 win. I was only a kid at the time, but Charles became an instant hero, and we couldn’t wait to get a couple of clubs and get to a golf course “to be like him.”
My first clubs were an old Brassie, a hickory shaft 5; 6; 9. And the putter was made by my Dad from a beaten-out steel chair leg! Crikey! And this was in the sixties.

Great show. I have been in Florida, USA playing a little golf and trying out my new golf swing. Since I live in Buffalo, NY where snow and cold are the norm, it was great to go to 70 to 80 degree temps.

Good start. I enjoyed seening the old course the town and the sea. You captured scenes that we never see on tv. Keep up the good work.

Andy, good fun and enjoyed the insights, more of your wife please, much more attractive than your self!. Will visit the pub next time I’m there. Favourite Open? easy, John Daly’s. Although not a betting man, I put £10 E/W at 80-1 before it started, so for a very short time Rocca was not popular! keep up the good work.

Andy. What a great show it is! I almost could smell the fresh air and the sea water at St. Andrews. We certainly need someone, like you, to have that passion in golf and generously share with the world. Definitely I will forward this web to my golf buddies in Asia.
Keep up your good work. Many thanks!

Hi Andy, Dan here… Great Show! My biggest memory was when John Daly won, terrible with years, and the great playoff that he had with Constantino Roca! I thought they should have given the trophy to both of them!
Thanks,

Great job Andy. A lovely introduction to self production and the world of t.v. golf. Criticism is not appropriate right now but this is the tpye of thing that many people imagine doing and yet they never have the testicular fortitude to go ahead with it. Kudos to you. Keep up the good work.
My greatest memory of the Open was choosing not to watch play at Carnoustie when Paul Lawrie won. We had a very important Church meeting in Edinburgh with a living prophet and an apostle of God and thought it wise to listen to him, rejecting the worldly desire of golf, and expect an apostolic blessing. I drove to the meeting listening to the radio reports of the golf, listened intently to all that was aid, and when we came out of the meeting, having been spiritually fed, I turned the radio back on. For the next half hour we listened to Paul Lawrie’s winning of the Open as Jean Van de Velde capitulated. I went home a very very happy man. I watched the videoed play the following day and while saddened by Jean’s collapse, I admired him for trying to win it the right way, until he went into the water, which was just plain nuts.
What was my reward for choosing the right on the sabbath day? A Scottish open winner at a Scottish venue.
It still smells sweet and delicious to the taste.
Now why does a man with an English dialect love SCOTLAND so much? Because God blessed us with a promised land of plenty, with trout streams, salmon rivers, deer filler hills and valley, luxurius heather, perfect links land and the bravest and funniest, sometimes idiotic people in the whole world, where the scenery is the most breathtaking on the planet.
.
I was wondering what great things we had done to have such Divine favour and in prayer I said “Thank you Lord. Could it get any better? “And I clearly heard him say to me, “Robert, I could have given you better neighbours to the south.” Stay strong in the Gospel and keep holy the sabbath day.
I no longer play golf on Sunday.

Dave Ex Patriot living in New Zealand great to see the old country well done Andy. Fortunately we can play all year round here but I still remember the bouncing ball on the frozen greens. Best memory is that of poor Doug Sanders on the 18th. Keep up the good work.

great video Andy ( and your wife for good work on the other side of the camera).As a scouser now living in Perth Western Australia for the past 23 years I never got to St Andrews.This was great to see the home of golf in this format.Best Open’s Trevino ‘72 and the most memorable Seve’s ‘84 who can forget that smile on his face after sinking his final putt on the 18th.Look forward to the next episode
Phil Snelman
14. Feb, 2009
Well done Andy, this was really great.
I played my first round on the Old Course in 1976 and it cost me the princely sum of £3, amazing!
My favourite Open Championship? There are a few but 1972 (Trevino), 1976 (Jonny Miller & Seve), 1977 (Watson), 1984 (Seve), 1988 (Seve), 1994 (Price), 1999 (Lawrie & Van De Velde) are all up there. Too many to choose from though!
Great idea for this channel and looking forward to more episodes.
George
14. Feb, 2009
I recommend you get a lapel mic, because every time you turn around the sound is reduced. Looks like a nice place to visit. I suppose you can golf at other courses if you can’t get on at St. Andrews, although it didn’t look busy, I would think it’s always crowded.

Great video, parking looks like a problem, could we have more information . JHB.
Andy’s Reply:
Parking on the Scores is free and in town during the day you have 2hrs on the meter. I’m going to email you now to see if you have specifics in mind.
Cheers

Sorry Andy,
I can’t comment because the video didn’t come through. I quite looked forward to seeing exactly what St.Andrews really looks like. It would have been nice to see it.

Most enjoyable Video of one of my favorite Toons and courses. Well done Andy – don’t be so harsh with the Misses she did a great job.
Don’t forget Crail and North Berwick in future episodes – oh and Ladybank, oh and Lundin Links, oh and Gullane 1, oh and etc etc.
You could go on forever.

Great intro to the flavour of St Andrew’s – one of the most memorable open moments was at St Andrews in 1995 when Costantina Rocca holed at the 18th to get into the playoff (which he lost to John Daly). The contrast in his celebration to the almost despair he had shown when he fatted his chip the shot before was typical of the emotion of the guy.
Bill
13. Feb, 2009
Hi, Andy, Great show. I have Joe Dante’s original book and I am enjoying going over it again. The video is wonderful I was there in September 2008. Really loved St. Andrews. Unfortunately we didn’t have time for a round. Enjoyed all of Scotland. The highlands are awesome. Hope to return again soon. Keep the videos coming. Cheers, Bill

Nice Job Andy, and I don’t even golf… yet!
Very natural and great idea to get the locals and tourists into it.
Cheers.

I absolutely loved it! Since I have not been there yet, but hope to be there this summer, I got to enjoy a sneak preview of what awaits me.
Thanks so much to you and your wife.

Gerard Schuurman
12. Feb, 2009
Great job.
I hope you will make more of these enjoyable video’s. Great job of your wife too. Maybe tell us a little bit more of the course(s) with its own problems.
The greatest memory for me has still to come when I´ve played St. Andrews in the next future.
Matt Sturt
12. Feb, 2009
Andy,
Great show, a good insight into the ‘Home of Golf’. Brilliant idea, cannot wait for the next one.
One memory has got to be Padraig Harrington’s 2nd shot onto the 17th green for an eagle at Birkdale 2008. Still at Birkdale, when 17-year-old Justin Rose hit a wedge to hole out from 57 yards on the 18 hole.
Alan Hancock
12. Feb, 2009
I really enjoyed your video, and I hope to see ST. Andrews in person one day.
The best Open moment for me was when Padraig Harrington won the first time. He is such a nice guy, and he deserved his win.
Andy Brown
12. Feb, 2009
Great first show Andy, love your infectious feel for everything that surrounds the game. As we all know it’s as much about good fellowship and company ( as well as a bit of gentle banter) that makes golf the best of all sports.
My greatest memory is of Tony Jacklin winning at Royal Lytham and ushering in a new era for British (and latterly european golf) Surely he deserves a knighthood for all he has done for the game.
Jeff Dungan
12. Feb, 2009
I found the video very interesting,. It was good to see different views of the club house and the interviews with the accommodation owners.
I guess we have all seen many views of all the holes during the telecasts, so I don’t know if you can show us much more.
Regarding memorable moments, I can’t say I can remember specific ones as my memory is not as good as it once was.
I do enjoy watching all the golf telecasts that I can, but as I don’t have pay TV, I am limited to what I can watch.
Barry Mott
12. Feb, 2009
Can only be Jack’s wave goodbye at the 2005 Open Championship,sad, but what entertainment he has given us over the Years, Tom’s hand shake and Hug to Jack on the final green after the old Master had Made birdie 3 on his final hole of his final Champiomship!
Enjoying your news and info!

Great show, look forward to the next, agree with one of the other contributors, you are really on to something with such a show. Perhaps you should then try and improve the quality (however, not to deminish the skill from your wife)
The golfers version of “Jamie Oliver”.
Fav moment, all of it, but Jacks last game brings tears to the Eye
Keep it up

12. Feb, 2009
Great first show Andy! Just happened to run across your video on Viddler and since I’m a huge golf fan thought I’d watch the first episode. You’re definitely comfortable in front of the camera and had some great footage of St. Andrews which was cool to see. I also like the short interviews with the locals.
Some suggestions would be…
- Use a wireless lapel mike like some have mentioned. I believe Azden sells a cheap but good quality wireless lapel mic and regular mic for a pretty good price. Just hooks onto camera.
- When you say to the camera (or your wife
“lets go” wanting her to follow you to the next place maybe add a transition or even edited sped up video of you walking there with music playing. Gives it a nicer, smoother look.
- When you’re talking about a specific golf hole show video of the hole itself while your voice is still in the background talking. Like a previous post mentioned it’s more informative for us to actually see shots of the hole while you’re talking about it.
Other than that, great show! Looking forward to the next episode.
As for my favorite St. Andrews moment… probably in 2005 when Jack Nicklaus said goodbye to St. Andrews and the Open and Tiger won his second Open at St. Andrews by 5 strokes.

12. Feb, 2009
Well done andy and wife dont know her name(sorry lol).
dont forget your wifes name:)
Keep the enthusiasm and energy dont sell your self short. As i said in previous e-mail you should promote the course with amatuers winning a day with you this would create a BIG BUZZ(your words:) well done.
I might be mixed up on this was it John Daly and Constatine Rocca when he holed that putt to force a play off the big swinging one lol any help would be appreciated
Peter Williams
12. Feb, 2009
Andy,
Thanks for this first insight. Much, much better than anything I’ve seen before. It makes St. Andrews real for me, as I’ve never been there. I’m looking forward to future episodes!

Hi Andy.
what a wonderful video. I have just returned from UK after playing golf at some of the very good courses there. However I am happy that I could visit St Andrews through your excellent video, like almost being there.
All the best .

Congratulations Andy, a very nice first video. You have made a good start and I hope you keep it up. I too have enjoyed a day visit to St Andrews but had not made a reservation to play. I look forward to much more of these programs, and hope you can key in to many other terrific Scots Golf Courses. My favourite memory, as it is for many others above, is Jack on the Swilcan Bridge and 18th hole birdie on his last Open.
I’m from Edinburgh originally and played golf there for many years as a young boy and callow youth. I now live and play in Canada (enjoying your lessons and tips).
Congratulations also to your good lady for the camera work – much better than most of the ‘crud’ to be seen on u-tube.
A couple of constructive criticisims if I may (my son-in-law is a camera man on Hollywood movies):
1. use a mic. – as mentioned in other comments
2. keep camera still as much as possible – let the ‘actors’ do the moving – use a tripod whenever you can, and pan slowly if you want to scan a view or moving action
3. don’t show the pan’s when recording a chat between two people, ie. cut the camera while panning, and ‘cue’ them to start the reply, or do some ‘post production editing.
4. and finally, cut the heavy ‘boom box’ music – something light or even nothing at all would be infinitely better.
Looking forward to the next one. Yours aye, Arthur

Andy CONGRATULATIONS!
It’s a fine idea. There’s the Bouquet!
Now the Brick Bats ;o) !
You need to use what is commonly referred to as “Collar Mikes” in India i.e. you clip them on to the person/s speaking then the Audio is Much clearer.
Also You can’t otherwise turn away from the mike when you speak! Which you necessarily have to do quite often.
But More time on the Golf and less about the place & the people, please.
Good job. Well done and All the Very Best for the Rest to come.
Cheers

P.S. For REALLY Fine weather, come play Golf in India;o])!!!

Good show, Andy! Agree witlh all of the above, but my favorite has to be Jack standing on the Swilican bridge; his look was won of fondness and sadness at the same time. Looking forward to the next one.

12. Feb, 2009
This was a very interesting show. More to St Andrews than the R&A. Although showing the 17 & 18th. was not just golf course shots. No fav. moments of opens., but do remember being sunburnt there, the only time in a European holiday. Regards David

Hi Andy, Never been to Scotland but have it on the list. We live on the Gold Coast east coast of Australia and have some beautiful courses available. We really enjoyed your video and would love to play at St Andrews if it is possible. Many thanks. Regards, Peter

My good friend John Gray,Past Captain of Ladybank Golf Club took me and another friend,Eamonn on a tour of St.Andrews some years ago. We were amazed at the width of the first fairway and the beauty of the course,all golfers should make an effort to visit The Home of Golf. My most memorable Open shot was by Sevy,I think, at the road hole when he played a shot off the wall at the back of the green and onto the green,keep up the good work
Regards from Ulster.

G’day Andy and wife camera lady,
Excellent report – have been through St Andrews but never had the opportunity to look around the town, the HQ or the courses so really looking forward to your future video reports.
Favorite open was Faldo 1992.
I would also remark on the audio as for us Western Aussies it can be a little hard to understand all the words. Having said that Andy the overall first episode was fantastic please let us know when number two is ready.
Bob Kemper
11. Feb, 2009
Andy…Thanks for the video, please keep going as it is much appreciated.
My most memorable moment was Jack Nicklaus last walk across Swilican Bridge. Also, seeing the old films of Bobby Jones on the old course.
Ian Urquhart -York
11. Feb, 2009
Andy -Just Magic to see the Old Course on your video, what a great idea, well done. Look forward to future episodes.
My favourite Open moment was following Tiger at St Andrews when he beat Monty. Tiger and St Andrews are the ultimate combination,

Excellent format and a very interesting view of the local suroundings. Lovely touch interviewing the business owners and their guests. I love that you have provided their web links, hope it leads to bookings for them. It has made me even more determined to visit the area and play a round at the home of golf. Realy looking forward to future episodes. Maybe we could send videos of our clubs with any special views.

Most memorable would be Jean Van de Velde’s melt down on 18 when he could easily have won the tournament. So sad to watch.
Bob Ginn
11. Feb, 2009
When “the merry mex” Lee Trevino won. You’ve put together a wonderful video. I plan to retire in 2010 a visit here is first priority on my “bucket list”. Thanks a bunch and by the way it’s raining big time in L.A.
IcemanYVR
11. Feb, 2009
Good Video… I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to show us around St. Andrews… I look forward to further episodes.
My favourite open would have to be Faldo’s win at Muirfield in ‘92.
The most memorable moment would be Jack Nicklaus pausing on the Swilican Bridge in 2000 at St. Andrews.

Hi Andy
Excellent video. It is always good to see a down to earth golfing enthusiast promoting such a great course like St Andrews. (never been but will do one day I hope!!)
My favourite Open was 1998 in my hometown of Southport at Royal Birkdale watching Justin Rose finish joint 4th in what was a truly great weekend of golf.

The first utube video from St Andrews starring Andy Brown.
I thought it was just great except for the audio it was difficult to especially make out what his quest were saying, there was for a good part of it aloud hum like a generator or compressor it was as loud as the human voice audio, but overall it was quite good for the first edition.
Cheers to all Glen

11. Feb, 2009
My most memorable golfing experience, as a spectator, was the 1970 Open at St Andrews when Doug Sanders missed a four footer on the 72nd green to force an 18-hole play-off the following day against Jack Nicklaus.
Standing on the last tee, with a one shot lead, Nicklaus removed his sweater and drove 350 yards into longish grass behind the green. He still managed a birdie to defeat Sanders by 2 shots.
An amazing event on a wonderful, historic course. I will be eternally grateful that I was there.
Brenda Heisler
11. Feb, 2009
I enjoyed the mini vacation to your great country and the world famous course.
I will be happy to visit here again and look forward to seeing other great courses that I can only dream about.
Best wishes.

11. Feb, 2009
Great stuff, Andy! I would say the most memorable Open moment was Jack Nicklaus’ final hole. To see other players stop and watch, and to feel the emotion of the moment was like no other

Hi Andy, Greetings from Brussels.
I think one of the best things about your new project and all of your emails is that it feels as if you are talking to each addressee personnally. Well done. Looking forward to all future communications. Could we see your wife on video next time since this seems to be a joint venture and she is doing a very good job.
All above-mentioned Open moments were also my favourites for different reasons. All the best.
Gerard
11. Feb, 2009
Favourite moment: Michael Campbell’s impossible shot out of the pot bunker at the 17th or 18th hole.

Hi Andy,
Superb performance, really showed off the ‘Auld lady with her best frock on’
Cannot beleive a fellow contributor critised the camera work, your wife was brilliant. Next time you see Rick McKenzie,(caddy master) tell him I said hello.
Aw ra best, Aw ra time.
Paul Lawries comeback at Carnoustie, The atmosphere was unreal.

Great video of the old country – I’m English but living in South Carolina, US of A. The narrowness of the streets and nose to tail parking were a great reminder of what it is(was) like in the UK. Try to get a Lincoln Town Car through there !!!!! My favourite Open golf moments – the Doug Sanders missed putt and Lee Trevino chipping in from off the green to eventually beat Nick Faldo. Hated it at the time being a great Faldo fan – but Lee was one of the last of the old school and looked as if he enjoyed every moment.
Rob - Brazil
11. Feb, 2009
Andy, great work and keep the TV on !
Agree with the comment above in that the sound is weak at times (when you turn your head) so a mike would be a good thing. Also you could zoom into the greens for a closer look. They didn ´t throw you ot that day – did they?
cheers !

I enjoyed your email very much and I am looking forward to your next. I have been to ST Andrews but unfortunately I did not play the course. I am still playing Golf although I shall be 80 years of age in May. I have also had a Hole in one in 1964. The course which I belong to is Abridge in Essex England .This coures was designed by Henry Cotton and opened in 1964.

My most memorable moment was the missed putt by Doug Sanders on the 18th. I forget the year. Second was the Jean Van de Velde mishap. Nice video…..

11. Feb, 2009
Andy, while I really enjoyed a look around St. Andrews, I’m have a hard time catching the audio on most of your video clips. You should seriously think about using a mike to improve the total quality of your products.
You might pass this same comment on to Rui.
Looking forward to more looks a Scotland.
Doug
11. Feb, 2009
Living here in the good old USA I do not know if I will ever get the chance to come over to see St. Andrews much less play it so this is nice to get a glimpse of what it looks like and the surounding countryside. I always love watching the Open. Thanks Andy.
Bob Killian
11. Feb, 2009
Unfortunately your wife was too intent on including you in every shot. It was entirely appropriate to focus on you for the intro and when you were talking to the people in the restaurant and the rooming house, but not when you were talking about the golf holes because I could not really see the holes. When you talk about a tee box, the camera should focus only on the tee and fairway; when you talk about a green, the camera should focus only on the green and the area around it. I did not see enough of the course. But the pictures around the castle were excellent. Give us more views like that.
Derek
11. Feb, 2009
Great show Andy, very relaxed and informal, loved the music as well, nice idea to showcase a B&B.
Memorable Open for me was when – was it Constantina Rocca fell to his knees in the Valley of sin – such passion, also enjoyed Justin Rose’s last amateur days with Big Jack.
Keep it up

I`m writting you from Mexico and it`s mi first time. I enjoy a lot your comments and mails, but I believe you have a little sound problem in Episode No. 1. I think you should use a wireless microphone, because every time you turn around to show us and tell something, your voice almost disappear.

oops forgot; most memorable Open moment? May seem weird, but I’ll never forget the shot Justin Rose made on the 18th the year before he turned pro. That place was absolutely rocking!

Great job on your inaugural episode of HomeofGolf.tv. My dream is to make it to the Home of Golf one day and to be able to play some true links style courses.
Until then I will live vicariously through your videos.
Most memorable moment- Jack Nicklaus pausing on the Swilican Bridge on his final day of play.
Keep up the good work!

Brilliant premiere, mate… Looking forward to future episodes!
My favorite Open Championship is the 1977 battle won by Tom Watson over Jack Nicklaus at Turnberry. Duel in the Sun is a great book by Michael Corcoran that chronicles the tournament.
Cheers! Phil

Seve in 84 was huge, would love to have seen Jones. Andy enjoyed your first show and looking forward to more. Hoping covering Tom Morris Sr & Jr are on your list.
Andy’s Reply:
Definitely, features on Old and Young Tom Morris to come.
Cheers

Great video! Loved the shots from behind the R&A and the old castle. You’re really onto something that will tap into everyone’s fascination with Scottish golf.
My most memorable Open Championship moment was, like you, Seve’s 84 win, wish I’d been there, but at 16 years old, mom and pop wouldn’t foot the bill.
Also when The King played his last round in the Open, such a historic moment.
Great stuff Andy!

This is awesome!!! What a great show. (Your wife did a great job with the camera too)
Jean Van de Velde is the most memorable for me. Though hard to watch.

My most memorable Open Championship experience has to be watching Seve with his iconic celebration on the 18th green at St Andrews in 1984 – you can still feel the joy to this day!
What’s yours?
Cheers
