Wilson, I can't see you well there, there you go.

Hi, I'm Wilson Bowen, I'm with the Stanford University Golf Team and we're on a
second day of our Scotland tour. We had a great breakfast this morning at Turnberry,
We just got a tour of Culzean Castle where Shane Lee explored the hidden passageways
This afternoon we're going to play at Western Gailes against the 32 club
and then tonight we're having dinner with Stirling University so it should be a great day, thankyou very much.

Can we go, I'd say so. Aww you didn't film that!

The 32 club has alot of great players so they've put up a good test and they got the better of us today
at least between Andre and myself so you know these guys are experienced with Links Golf, we're going to
try catch up by the end of the week but you know no matter what we're enjoying every minute of it.
The golf has just been very different to what we're used to back there in Stanford but we'll adjust
by the end of the week but I've had a great time so far, the organisers have done a great job and looking forward to the rest of it.

Thanks alot mate, a nice memento for you, thanks alot. Also lethal weapon!
{Laughs} If you get that in the right pitch.
I had alot of fun, I wish the outcome would have been different, wish I had hit some better shots but the course was unbelievable
and I really liked the guys we were playing against.
Yeah, it was really good fun, Kenny and Graham, they were not necessarily familiar with this course but they're
familiar with links style golf and they nailed the putts at the right time in the match and we hit alot of good shots
and we kept in pars and birdies most of the way round but at the end we just got putted off the course
but it was great. This is a fun course which goes out this way and along slither between the railway line and the sea
it has beautiful grass to play and to putt, to chip, it's really nice. Yeah I was really impressed by this, it's one of the
smoother links courses . The trouble with these links courses sometimes is that Dom hits it too far so we run out of space
on a couple of holes, oh yeah, I hit a couple of three woods which were not, you almost got the eighteenth hole, yeah that was sweet.

Hey gentleman! Cheers. Cheers!
I'd be amiss if I didn't thank Western Gailes for their golfing courtesy, it's been a wonderful day,
a special golf course, I think that for our players to have a chance to play with gentleman like yourself
in a game we all love in a spirit that is infectious, I think it's a special day so we appreciate you hosting us
and having us at the club and adding to a trip which is really a lifelong trip for all of us from the United States to be here.
we appreciate you doing that and we would love to return the favour. I don't know if the 32 club travels but, we do now!
{Laughs}
We put together a shield, I know that probably has greater meaning here in Scotland than it does in the states but we appreciate
the kindness and the friendship today and the comradery and we found and requote that
from Ben Hogan that said that I've found the game of Golf to be a Universal language at home or abroad.
and we've just commissioned it, Stanford Mens Golf Scotland Tour in appreciation of new friendships created through the game of golf
September 2012.
