Coming up Brora's 18th fairway on a not-too-bright day in Northern Scotland. Left to right: Bob Anderson, Sir Bob Charles, Liam MacDonald and Jim Miller (image by courtesy of Robin Wilson).

Sir Bob's ball landed in the burn at the 13th. Here he has it tossed back to him by Jim Miller ... note Sir Bob is ready to catch it with his LEFT hand. Despite the water visit, Sir Bob salvaged a 4 at the hole (image by Robin Wilson).

Sir Bob goes round Brora in 74 to

get a square foursomes game

By ROBIN WILSON
Sir Bob Charles arrived at the furthermost north destination of his Scottish links "Tour of Discovery", the five times Open champion James Braid's links course at Brora today.
He teed off in the company of local professional Brian Anderson, promising junior member Liam MacDonald (18) and the local legend Jim Miller, just eight years younger than Charles, who set the amateur course record of 61, eight under par, as long ago as 1977 (and who, of course, beat US Open champion-to-be Johnny Miller when he was a member of the Brigham Young University team on a tour of Scotland).
The match was accompanied by an appreciative gallery who watched the 1963 Open champion go round in approximately 74 in quite difficult conditions as the summer sun had a day off in the North.
Charles birdied the par-3 ninth hole to turn one up with the local professional but with a short game that matched that of the Open champion's over the remaining nine holes Miller assured a friendly half on the final green with the best score of the four, a three over par 72.
Sir Bob ends his tour tomorrow at Tain where he will play alongside Tain's North District's team player and also a lefty, Munro Ferries, and the club's newly crowned club champions, father and daughter David and Sammy Vass. The lefties v the conventional?
