Today I was wearing the Xmarks again (boots, greyish blue hose worn low, black casual belt, Freelander sporran and a pale yellow polo shirt).
Many nice comments today!
A lady walking behind me stopped me and told me I was wearing a quality kilt. She seemed to be a kiltmaker and when I told her the kilt was made by Barb Tewksbury she was outright excited...she read the book Barb wrote.
A guy from the BBC asked me if it wasn't a bit too hot for a kilt...I told him about the fresh sea breeze (laughter from the crowd)
Furthermore...
A lady to her son:
"Ow...that gentleman is wearing a kilt!...and a jolly nice one!"
A lady to her husband:
"Isn't that something for you dear?"
A young lassie to me:
"You're so damn cute!"
A lass in the merchandise shop:
"A MAN IN A KILT!!!!!!"
Watched the open all 3 days, on TV, and spent as much time looking at the galleries for kilts as watching the golfers. Haven't seen one yet, but I'll watch again tomorrow

Today...day 4...we'll take position on a small hill on the right side of the green of hole 6 (a cruel par 3)...a nice spot, because we can also see the green of hole 5 (a par 5).
Wearing my MacLaren modern, brown leather, oatmeal polo.
It will be another hot day, but more windy (I'm already "well done" )
We made lots of pictures (illegal on the course) will post a selection on my return.
Tiger was complaining all day about the camera phones. He did play a great round today though. I still didn;t see any kilts, but I saw one gentleman in the stands at the 18th green who appeared to be wearing pushed down dark colored hose and boots. However, I couldn't see if he was kilted or not.
