Funny...we stay in a hotel near the Albert Docks in Liverpool now...the docks seem to be "the" place...bars, restaurants, Tate Museum, shops...trendy stuff.
When we returned from the open I walked to the docks to book a table for tonight...
A group of Japanese tourist took pictures of me..some locals on a day trip did the same...when I booked the table...the waitress said "wear your kilt..."
Funny country...

Well it looks like Tiger set the course on fire today - and you're setting the local trendy scene on fire tonight.
Well Done Robin!

Day 3 of the Open:
Really crowded...seen 1 other kilt (hurray!)
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!!!!!!"
A gentleman to me:
"Glad to see a decent kilt"
It was a fun day kilted

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.
