Funny...we stay in a hotel near the Albert Docks in Liverpool now...the docks seem to be "the" place...bars, restaurants, Tate Museum, shops...trendy stuff.
When we returned from the open I walked to the docks to book a table for tonight...
A group of Japanese tourist took pictures of me..some locals on a day trip did the same...when I booked the table...the waitress said "wear your kilt..."
Funny country...

Well it looks like Tiger set the course on fire today - and you're setting the local trendy scene on fire tonight.
Well Done Robin!

I'm plaid with envy. That is much better than hearing "Is that what you're wearing?". O'Neille
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Day 3 of the Open:
Really crowded...seen 1 other kilt (hurray!)
Today I was wearing the Xmarks again (boots, greyish blue hose worn low, black casual belt, Freelander sporran and a pale yellow polo shirt).
Many nice comments today!
A lady walking behind me stopped me and told me I was wearing a quality kilt. She seemed to be a kiltmaker and when I told her the kilt was made by Barb Tewksbury she was outright excited...she read the book Barb wrote.
A guy from the BBC asked me if it wasn't a bit too hot for a kilt...I told him about the fresh sea breeze (laughter from the crowd)
Furthermore...
A lady to her son:
"Ow...that gentleman is wearing a kilt!...and a jolly nice one!"
A lady to her husband:
"Isn't that something for you dear?"
A young lassie to me:
"You're so damn cute!"
A lass in the merchandise shop:
"A MAN IN A KILT!!!!!!"
A gentleman to me:
"Glad to see a decent kilt"
It was a fun day kilted

Watched the open all 3 days, on TV, and spent as much time looking at the galleries for kilts as watching the golfers. Haven't seen one yet, but I'll watch again tomorrow

Today...day 4...we'll take position on a small hill on the right side of the green of hole 6 (a cruel par 3)...a nice spot, because we can also see the green of hole 5 (a par 5).
Wearing my MacLaren modern, brown leather, oatmeal polo.
It will be another hot day, but more windy (I'm already "well done"  )
We made lots of pictures (illegal on the course) will post a selection on my return.

Tiger was complaining all day about the camera phones. He did play a great round today though. I still didn;t see any kilts, but I saw one gentleman in the stands at the 18th green who appeared to be wearing pushed down dark colored hose and boots. However, I couldn't see if he was kilted or not.
