I wouldn’t trade gigs with many people.  Ru Macdonald, ambassador of all things Scottish golf and host of the Scottish Golf Podcast, might be one of few.  I’d definitely do the deal if it came with Ru’s youth–for his twenty or so years, I don’t think there’s a better known or connected golf lad in Scotland.  He was a tremendous resource on my travels, and I was fortunate for the chance to speak with him both before and after the cards were signed.  Though our paths never actually crossed in my travels, I’m happy to have a reason for another round at Cruden Bay.
