this viewpoint and recommends that players travel with a valid handicap
certificate from their golf club which they may be required to produce.

"daily ballot". Around 50% of all visitors starting times over the year are put
into the daily ballot (lottery) which is drawn every day for next day's play
except Sunday, the Saturday draw is for Monday play. Success in the ballot is
not guaranteed and chances vary according to the time of year, how busy the
course is and the weather. A minimum two golfers can enter. The handicap limit
for playing the Old Course is 24 for men and 36 for ladies. In addition, an
official handicap card will be a prerequisite for play at the Old Course.
Portable GPS Navigator: GPS systems are available for hire
through National Car Rental at most major rental branches. Please check with
