American Way: What's it like playing on those great
British courses?
Brady: I went with my parents a few years ago on a 10-day
golfing trip to
Scotland. We did some serious golfing, playing at
St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Turnberry, and Royal Troon, and we loved
every single second of it. I'd still like to play Royal Birkdale
and Royal Lytham St. Annes in England.
American Way: Any funny stories from the
fairways?
Brady: There are too many, especially with my teammates.
We'll head out in two foursomes. All etiquette is completely thrown
out. Guys are talking and walking, obstructing your line, it
doesn't matter who's playing, who's teeing off. It's just
no-holds-barred with the ribbing and trash talking. A really great
time. But as they say, what happens on the
golf course, stays on
the golf course.
