Paul Streeter only lasted two days at the British Open at St Andrews after he missed the cut, but he says that the experience will last with him forever.
Maybe next time... Paul Streeter holds a replica of the Claret Jug after his trip of a lifetime to the home of golf at St Andrews at the weekend.
“After you’ve played in the Open, if you don’t keep the buzz for some time, then you shouldn’t be playing golf,” said the 43-year-old from Balderton.
“Playing with Lee Westwood and Andrew Coltart in the practice rounds was a great experience, and there were a few thousand people following us around the course just for that.”
Streeter, who is a former assistant professional at Southwell Golf Club, now works at the Lincoln Golf Centre at Thorpe-on-the-Hill, and he had a good following in Scotland.
His wife Tracey also went with him, and his long-time friend and best man Martin Orley — himself a five-handicapper — was his caddie.
