A submarine heading up the Forth this morning. Photo taken from Newhaven, Edinburgh towards Fife. The three tower blocks on the right are on the seafront in Kirkcaldy. Kinghorn right behind the sub. I always find submarines a bit sinister...

A cool aspect of the Walker Cup. All 20 players, from both sides, are assigned local caddies. (They'll need them this week at Lahinch!)

Great to see the #dundee derby back. A reignited affair helped no end by Pressleys candid assessment here too. Brilliant @DundeeFC
This mad bastard is going to land a big job in Scottish football before the end of the season if Dundee keep this up. Canny help but admire it

Update: The Open has generated £200,000,073 for the local economy 😉 Best of luck to your lad @Ellispropserv 🏌️‍♂️
Replying to @LCRMayor
I'll be spending about £73 on a Premier Inn for me and the lad Steve, he's playing in the Royal Birkdale Junior Open in a couple of weeks. Make sure you add that to the 200 millies.... 😂👍

One to welcome and testimony to the economic benefits of the Open to region and locale @welcometofife @InvestFife @FifeChamber
📈 Last week's Open Championship saw hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the Liverpool City Region and injected around £200m the local economy. On the back of that success, we've signed an MoU to host at least three more championships in the region before 2050. ⛳️

Fabulous testimony to golf and the UK crowds - knowledgable, kind, patient and personable. All the traits of any #gowfer surely. Well done @royalbirkdale and #johnrahmspain !
Jon Rahm played with Tommy today. Asked about the crowd, his answer was great...

Love this small touch at The Open this week 👏 Every hole is being marshalled by members of local golf clubs, and each club is given a signpost for the hole they’re in charge of.

I like this Norway thing… particularly like the fact that they actually did it, instead of taking the lazy-arsed shite option of just AI-ing it
.@erling is a great symbol and descendant after Leiv Eriksson 🇳🇴, the first European that explored America @nff_landslag
