Thailand cave rescue hero named as 2019 Western Australian of the Year
By Heather McNeill
October 30, 2018 — 7.44pm
A Perth vet who repeatedly risked his life to help rescue 12 children and their soccer coach from a flooded cave in Thailand has been awarded 2019 Western Australian of the Year.
Dr Craig Challen gained international recognition when he volunteered to form part of a dangerous cave diving mission to help free the team who had spent more than two weeks trapped underground.

On Tuesday night, he was awarded Western Australian of the Year to add to his Star of Courage, Medal of the Order of Australia and Murdoch University honorary degree he has already received in recognition of his efforts.
He and his diving friend — Adelaide anaesthetist Richard Harris — put their cave-diving holiday to the Nullarbor on hold and flew out to become part of the rescue operation in Thailand.
Despite admitting he initially thought the rescue would be too difficult to accomplish, Dr Challen played a leading role in the successful and heroic mission.
He and Dr Harris had input into the rescue plan and Dr Challen helped take the boys and their coach from the platform where they were discovered, to a dry section of the cave before passing them to the next group of cave divers.
All 12 boys and their coach were rescued successfully.
Western Australia Young Australian of the Year
A Perth woman who fought back against cyber-trolls who stole images from her social media accounts and edited them onto pornographic images has been recognised for having the bravery to speak publicly about her experience and spark law reforms.
Noelle Martin, 24, was awarded Western Australia Young Australian of the Year after images of her face on nude bodies began circulating the internet, naming her and where she lived.
The young law student went public with the issue after being told nothing could be done to remove the images.

Her actions were a major factor in new laws being introduced nationally and in WA and NSW making it a criminal offence to distribute non-consensual intimate images.
Ms Martin now regularly speaks to the media, and travels the country as a TEDx speaker, educating people on the harmful impacts of the abuse.
Western Australia Senior Australian of the Year
A Yamatji man who fought for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's contributions to military service to be recognised equally to their non-Indigenous comrades has won the Western Australia Senior Australian of the Year.
Frank Mallard, 73, was part of the Stolen Generation and served in the Australian Army from 1962 to 1985, and in the Army Reserves from 1986 to 1999.

He saw active duty in Borneo and Vietnam — but on returning home, like other Aboriginal soldiers, was rejected by the Returned and Services League.
This spurred him to promote the military service of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within Veterans' Affairs and the broader community.
Today, despite PTSD and Parkinson's disease, Mr Mallard is media officer at Ellenbrook RSL and a dedicated veterans' issues volunteer.
He is the Chairperson of Voice of the Voiceless Ministry that helps people with addiction, mental illness and social issues.
In 2015, he received a Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm Unit Citation as a member of the 1RAR Group, and was City of Swan Citizen and Senior Citizen of the Year in 2018.
Western Australia Local Hero
Former WNBL player Cheryl Kickett-Tucker has been awarded Western Australian Local Hero for her commitment to improving the outcomes of Aboriginal children through sports.
The Curtin University Professor and Wadjuk traditional owner is passionate about helping children build their confidence and improve their social, physical and emotional wellbeing through sport.

In 2015, the mother-of-three launched Kaat, Koort and Hoops — translating to Head, Heart and Hoops — an after-school basketball lifestyle program aimed at building confidence in young people.
By 2018, 250 children had participated in the program.
Professor Kickett-Tucker is also a voluntary member of not-for-profit Koya Aboriginal Corporation, which provides training and employment services, and helped establish Pindi Pty Ltd Centre for Research Excellence in Aboriginal Wellbeing in 2014, where she is the executive director.

Keeping the right-hand portions of the equation, divide by -2 and do the sum on each term. So x-star is my least squares solution to Ax is equal to b. Imagine you have some points, and want to have a linethat best fits them like this: We can place the line "by eye": try to have the line as close as possible to all points, and a similar number of points above and below the line. 2 Probability and Statistics Review. Fred's score is lower when using this equation. Least-squares regression is a statistical technique that may be used to estimate a linear total cost function for a mixed cost, based on past cost data.The cost function may then be used to predict the total cost at a given level of activity such as number of … than would be obtained using a fit based on perpendicular Another word for error is regression.

The products in question were produced on Feb. 8 through Feb. 10. Below is the list of products being recalled.
12-oz. metal cans containing "SPAM Classic" with a "Best By" February 2021 date and production codes: F020881, F020882, F020883, F020884, F020885, F020886, F020887, F020888 and F020889. These products were shipped throughout the United States.
12-oz. metal cans containing "Hormel Foods Black-Label Luncheon Loaf" with a "Best By" February 2021 date and production codes F02098 and F02108. These products were shipped to Guam only.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number "EST. 199N" on the bottom of the can. These items were shipped throughout the United States and to Guam.
Hormel said it issued the recall after receiving several complaints from consumers about finding the metal material in their food. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) was contacted not long after to conduct the investigation.
FSIS and Hormel are urging customers who might have purchased the aforementioned items to throw them away immediately.
Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Consumer Response, Hormel Foods, at (800) 523-4635.

Central Mushroom Institute in DPRK
Date: 26/10/2021 | Source: Uriminzokkiri (En) | Read original version at source
True to the intention of the Workers' Party of Korea on bringing about a change in improving the standard of people's living, the Central Mushroom Institute under the Ministry of Agriculture in the DPRK bred nearly 20 kinds of high-yielding mushrooms and established their cultivation technique in recent years.
Among those new species, which can be cultivated according to seasons, are Pleurotus abalonus, Ganoderma tsugae, Volvariella volvacea and Auricularia auricula.
The institute is now concentrating on the research to cultivate the newly-bred mushroom species in an industrial way.
The Central Mushroom Institute was wonderfully built in a little over three months under the energetic guidance of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un making a new history of industrialisation of mushroom cultivation.
The institute where formative art was successfully introduced into architecture has all conditions needed for the mushroom research, including research rooms, laboratories, room for storing products and mushroom cultivation site.
Kim Jong Un visited the institute in October Juche 102 (2013) and gave an important instruction on turning it into a scientific research base giving actual benefit to the people.
Over the past years, the institute has confirmed various species of edible and medical mushrooms and supplied them to cultivation units across the country.

"If you appear before the Committee tomorrow morning and if you are prepared to respond to questions from our Members, then I assure you that there will be no need for the Committee to issue a subpoena on or before February 8," Nadler wrote.
It took me a moment why he was told to testify. I first thought that it would be about the nomination on a new AG for the DOJ, which I thought Mr. Barr was planned and supposed to be. It seems like this is about the decisions the DOJ made under his operative leadership.
I hope there'll be more news on this today (I'm from Germany, remember; while your day might have only begun now, we're at high noon). I would like to hear what he has got to say while testifying.


You don't hear such talk at a U.S. Open, though you should. The last competitor to capture the U.S. Open on his first attempt? It was Francis Ouimet, the great American amateur, who did so in 1913 at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., right across the street from where he'd grown up. Ouimet, only 20, took down venerable British legends Ted Ray and Harry Vardon in an 18-hole playoff, and a first-timer hasn't won since – a factoid to perhaps produce a few moments of pause as you crunch your morning cereal.
On the eve of the 118th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, nearly a third of the 156-man field will mark a maiden start at our national championship – 47 players in all (tee times). The U.S. Open is named for a reason, with about half the field made up of qualifiers, an open door for first-timers to step through.
Unlike the Masters, the U.S. Open moves around. In two of the past three years, the championship was staged at a venue that never before had played host to an Open (Chambers Bay in 2015 and Erin Hills in '17). One might think the element of experience might be lessened, but at this championship, it isn't. Seasoning, and patience, is key to a solid U.S. Open run, especially as the championship returns to time-tested Shinnecock, the only course to host the championship in three centuries. Retief Goosen, winner the last time the U.S. Open was played at Shinny (2004), was one of only two players (with Phil Mickelson) to finish under par that week. And the average age of the 12 players who walked away with top-10 finishes (four tied for ninth) was just shy of 37 years old, with no player in his 20s.
Why? As much as anything, the U.S. Open is the thinking man's major, a grueling exam of between-the-ears fortitude.
"You have to be a mental giant to win a U.S. Open," said Paul Azinger, who will be calling the action for Fox this week.
Arnold Palmer missed the cut in his first U.S. Open, in 1953, as did Jack Nicklaus four years later. Tiger Woods, then 19, played only 23 holes at Shinnecock in 1995, injuring his left wrist in the gnarly rough and withdrawing. That said, could a first-timer win at the U.S. Open for the first time since Ouimet? It's highly unlikely. But in this game, never say never.
Nos. 5/4. Doug Ghim and Braden Thornberry (U.S.): These are two excellent players, and it's a coin toss as far as giving one the edge over the other. Ghim just finished an outstanding college career at Texas and is No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. He was the 2017 U.S. Amateur runner-up and was low am at this year's Masters. Thornberry, who plays at Ole Miss, is ranked third in the WAGR. He's shown that he can handle the big stage, tying for fourth at last year's FedEx St. Jude Classic. He tied for 26th last week in Memphis, but had his moments, firing 66 to make the cut at TPC Southwind and 65 on Saturday to work his way into the top 10 before dropping back Sunday. The last amateur to capture the U.S. Open? Johnny Goodman, in 1933. So there's that. But Ghim and Thornberry are primed for success at the next level.
3. Dean Burmester (South Africa): The 29-year-old son of a cricketer from Zimbabwe continues to build his resume on a world stage. Having finished 42nd on last year's European Tour Order of Merit, Burmester has had a consistent, if not flashy, season thus far, making the cut in nine of 12 Euro Tour starts. His last few worldwide performances have been solid: a tie for third at the Royal Swazi Open, a tie for 12th at the BMW PGA and a tie for 30th at the Italian Open.
2. Shubhankar Sharma (India): Only 21, he is India's great hope. Sharma has shown the ability to go low, shooting rounds of 62 (Maybank Championship) and 61 (Joburg Open) on his way to European Tour victories. He was the youngest player in the field at March's WGC-Mexico Championship, and took a two-stroke lead into the final round before fading to T-9. Phil Mickelson, upon shaking hands with him on the practice green early in the week at Mexico, thought Sharma was a member of the media; by Sunday, Mickelson, the tournament's eventual champion, knew who Sharma was. Mickelson wasn't alone in taking notice.
Among the first-time players at the U.S. Open, Chesson Hadley stands the best shot at breaking a 105-year streak.
At Shinnecock, Hadley needs to hit more fairways than he's been averaging this season (59.7 percent), but many other numbers bode well. He is top 40 in greens in regulation, ranks 20th in scoring (70.075) and is putting well, ranking sixth in total putting.
First-timer or not, all players at Shinnecock share this: No other tournament on the schedule places a higher emphasis on grinding out a score. Two years ago, first-timer Andrew Landry played in the final group at Oakmont on Sunday, then faded. He left the door open for the next crop of U.S. Open rookies. Who is going to step up and break this astonishing 105-year streak? Will anyone, ever? Or is it one simply to put on the shelf and admire, like Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak?


1931-1934. 1966-1968. 1973-1974. 1986. 2008-2009. In each of those years, the price of General Electric stock declined by at least 15% greater than the stock market as a whole. This is despite the fact that General Electric was a superior company that outperformed the Dow Jones by three percentage points annually since 1933, 3.5 points annually since 1967, 2.25 points annually since 1973, one percentage point since 1986, and has underperformed the S&P 500 by a percentage point annually since 2009. The 1986 and 2009 valuation periods will eventually become more attractive once GE executes its strategy of selling financial service operations and receives a higher P/E ratio upon becoming a pure play industrial investment.
During every period except 2008-2009, the short-term underperformance of General Electric was due to temporary declines in the demand for industrial equipment that made General Electric's profits fall further than that of the typical Dow Jones stock.
It is important that investors understand how General Electric stock will function without its financial assets. When General Electric first began to build GE Capital, the purpose was to smooth out profits over the long run by having fast-growing subsidiaries that do not move in tandem with industrial demands. If GE Industrial was having trouble boosting sales or raising prices on oil drilling machinery, it could turn to GE Capital which was collecting credit payments from hospitals that were paying off high-tech scanning equipment. And when GE Capital was having trouble collecting full rent from some of its commercial estate, it could turn to growing light bulb sales from the industrial division to buoy the day.
That layer of diversification will soon be gone. The consequence is that General Electric will see more volatility in its profits on annual basis. But this is what you need to know: Volatile profits are not inferior profits. Volatile profits are not unsafe profits. Volatile profits do not lead to underperformance. These statements are true for large-cap stocks in the industrial and energy sectors of the economy.
The smoothed out profits of GE when it contained both GE Capital and GE Industrial had a leverage and short-term liquidity problem. The temptation at GE Capital was to boost profits by lowering loan quality, or free up stagnant capital by reducing short-term liquidity. This happens to a lot of smart people in the financial sector that want more growth. That's why the dividend got cut. That's why GE imploded in 2009.
Going forward, General Electric is in the unusual position of becoming safer even as its short-term reported profits become more volatile. This volatility should be embraced considering that General Electric is repurchasing significant amounts of stock and provides an opportunity for attractive reinvestment of its currently high dividend.
Over the full course of the business cycle, the growth at GE Industrial hovers near 8%. That is incredibly impressive for a company of GE's size, and will provide for attractive total returns when combined with the 3.5% annual dividend payment.
But in the short run, you might see $15 billion annual profits quickly turn towards $9 billion annual profits. Then, within a few years, it could be approaching $20 billion. That is going to be the nature of the asset going forward. The profit gains of GE Industrial in good and normal times are large compared to GE Industrial's performance during the recessionary years, and that is what is going to make it an attractive investment.
But you should expect volatility. This won't be like Colgate or Hershey where the profits neatly go up each year. You're going to have to measure over five and ten year periods to see the full excellence of what GE can do. And there is an important advantage to this–you almost never get attractive opportunities to reinvest in Colgate or Hershey because the stocks don't have the business models that create fear absent poor overall economic conditions. With GE, people that invest the $0.23 per share dividend will regular get discounts here and there throughout the coming decades. That adds up over a lifetime. But you should be prepared for this volatility, understand that it is not synonymous with lower quality, and take advantage of it by reinvesting so that it serves you.

Is This It? Has Taylor Swift Found True Love in Calvin Harris?
The mouthed "I love you" heard around the world.
by Molly Lambert on August 27, 2015
Is there anything more cringe-inducing than couples in the honeymoon phase? They make long-term couples roll their eyes and single people vomit. Nonetheless, there is something sort of awesome about watching people see each other through rainbow-colored glasses, drunk on their own love for each other and completely oblivious to everything else in the world.
When I read that Taylor Swift mouthed "I love you" to Calvin Harris from the stage during her run of sold-out shows, I couldn't help but shake my head and say "those crazy kids." Six months into a public relationship, Calvin is both Taylor's longest-lasting and most public boyfriend. When all eyes are on you, some are inevitably going to be waiting to watch you crash and burn. So it's gonna be forever? Or it's gonna go down in flames?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvvnBwPTYtM
Those of us with long memories feel empathy for Taylor, who has no choice but to fly Icarus-like toward the sun of true romance every time. She was bitter in the aftermath of her relationship with Harry Styles, the One Direction boy bander who blew his own chance at any potential solo superstardom after his tropical vacation breakup with Swift. Taylor had reached the breaking point where she was thinking she might not ever be able to have a boyfriend, let alone a husband. There was too much pressure and too much publicity. She had become jaded by the spotlight's glare on all of her relationships, finding it slightly harder after each failed relationship to muster up the energy to be her usual wonderstruck self.
After venting her frustration over a lack of viable partners — how can someone as famous as Taylor Swift date casually? — and being traumatized by boyfriends like Jake Gyllenhaal, who purportedly wanted to keep their relationship secret, she initially blamed her own fame and success for her romantic failures. But then she realized that it wasn't her fault, that the perception that her singledom was a character flaw is merely indicative of a cultural blind spot. Nonetheless, even if she didn't need love, she still wanted it. In songs, Swift asked why she always ended up with men who somehow had the upper hand. She didn't want the upper hand herself, she just wanted equal hand — two paper airplanes flying.
Swift, the poet laureate of romance, was giving interviews in which she questioned the whole concept of true love, wondering whether it was just something the world's Don Drapers had made up so that she could write songs about it that could be used to sell girls tour shirts and Diet Coke. The upside of Taylor's new agnosticism about relationships was that she focused on creating a full life for herself independent of a partner.
No longer waiting for her prince to come, she realized that she could have a rich life as a single person, and that being single could actually be great because she never had to compromise. Instead of downplaying her success with "aw shucks" surprise, she started to own it. She moved to New York and became best friends with a bunch of models and celebrities. She traded in her Red-era cozy autumn togs for 1989's crop tops. She publicly called herself a feminist, and questioned why the media always demonized rich, successful female celebrities as controlling, needy, and desperate to be loved. Swift resented her reputation as a perpetual victim of love, as the girl who almost has it all except for that one society-validating thing. So she rewrote her image: The Swift of 1989 was a cool, carefree, single girl in the city who happened to be a self-made millionaire.
And at the precise moment Taylor Swift gave up on ever finding love and happily made peace with the idea of becoming a cookie-baking cat lady instead, in swooped Calvin Harris, the millionaire Scottish DJ. It was a match made in good girl/bad boy heaven. The not-so-innocent Swift and the secretly-a-nerd Harris were a blond, tan, Las Vegas fantasy couple whose love was anointed with sequins and glitter. Calvin Harris, rich and famous in his own right, had started out as a sort of indie-electronic artist before making himself over into an EDM bro and becoming a megastar.
The pair were rumored to be dating for a while when Taylor publicly outed them on her Instagram after it became obvious that they were going to last. And Calvin, rather than be emasculated by the role of Taylor Swift's boyfriend, seemed to thrive on the attention. Together they were the supernova entity known as a power couple — who else could understand the nightly tour load-ins, the lonely nights in strange hotel rooftop suites with too much space for one person?
Ironically (in the Alanis sense), the thing the Taylor "I love you" moment most calls to mind is the time Katy Perry projected footage from her wedding to Russell Brand as her background while performing a medley of songs from her album Teenage Dream at the 2011 Grammy Awards. It was the first time the footage was shown in public, and it signaled the beginning of the end of the Brand-Perry union, which perhaps Brand — but not Perry — might have realized just then. Public displays of affection bring the messiness of intimacy out in the open, which can be risky. It's especially scary if you're doing it in front of millions of people.
But maybe I'm cynical. After all, to be open to love is to risk rejection and humiliation, and it's comforting in some sick way to know that talented millionaires like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry don't have access to any more emotional tools than we mere mortals do. Love hurts. When someone like Taylor gambles on her emotional well-being in such a massive way, we feel with her the same breathless suspense we feel when we do it ourselves. And because Taylor has romantically fallen on her ass in public a few times, one would assume she's learned the invaluable lesson of experience — that she always lived through it and eventually stood back up again.
Having gotten maybe a blond hair too settled in their new power-couple status, Taylor and Calvin both became prone to attacks of Twitter Fingers™ recently. Taylor started a beef with Nicki that displayed how Taylor's wokeness only went so far. Calvin got into a Twitter fight with ex–One Directioner Zayn Malik, who called Calvin a "dickhead." Taylor wisely apologized to Nicki and hopefully learned something about the problems with White Feminism.
Swift also accidentally started a Stan war with the remaining population of Avril Lavigne fans when she publicly favorited a meme on Twitter that pitted her favorably against Avril with photos of their body language during meet-and-greets. Avril, rightfully, went "What the hell?" — not being the first person to question Swift's "sisterhood is powerful" message with the reality that she can't get along with every single woman on planet Earth, because women aren't a monolith, they're human beings who are all different from one another. And the unfortunate fact remains that sometimes women do have to fight over things of limited quantity that they both want just as much — whether it be dudes, jobs, or Video Music Awards.
Tayvin's dual-pronged Twitter fuckups were very revealing in another way: They showed how similarly tempered the couple is. They both could not resist getting in their feelings online, which ultimately was a form of self-sabotage. The mouthed "I love you" seemed spontaneous, even for Swift, whose stage show traffics in artificial spontaneity. The Twitter fight felt weirdly intimate for Swift, who is normally so controlled and skilled with social media. And it demonstrated that Harris is just as passionate as Swift, which he has perhaps demonstrated before with his very public breakup with Rita Ora.1
Has any pop star inspired more breakup dis songs than Rita Ora? She must be great at stuff.
If Swift aspired prematurely to marriage and forever love as a teenager, she's actually right on track for her mid-twenties to be making superficially questionable decisions such as dating an EDM DJ, people who are not exactly world famous for their sexual fidelity. But having tried to do everything the socially sanctioned "right" way before realizing it was a scam, Taylor was in the correct mind-set to loosen up and stop overthinking things for a minute. I like to think that Taylor and Calvin will make it, and I can only imagine how invincible they feel in their international penthouses and luxury apartments, goofing off and laughing like dorks, swimming laps in an Uncle Scrooge money bin, and doing each other on a pile of platinum record plaques. It probably feels pretty great. And everyone knows that a dude with a passionate temper will make for good Tay songs. Calvin Harris is already by far Taylor's most promising boyfriend to date. He knows exactly who she is, and he likes her for all of it.

Alfred Dunhill Links Championship 2021
Thursday September 30 – Sunday October 3
(Course closure Sunday September 26- Sunday October 3)
It is the mark of a quality golf course that it gets selected so soon after its opening to host a high-calibre professional tour event.
That is precisely what happened to Kingsbarns Golf Links when, in 2001, it was named as one of the co-hosts of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Based on the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, held annually on the PGA Tour since 1937, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship launched in 2001 as a replacement for the Alfred Dunhill Cup. The event is one of the richest on the European Tour – its prize fund in 2016 was $5m – and sees every player in the field team up with an amateur partner… and, very often, a rather well-known one at that.
Indeed, since the event's launch, high-profile personalities from the worlds of sport and entertainment have taken part, including the likes of Justin Timberlake, Ronan Keating and Brian McFadden and movie stars Samuel L Jackson, Hugh Grant, Jamie Dornan, and Michael Douglas, and Olympic greats Sir Steve Redgrave and Michael Phelps.
Football stars Sir Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker, Jamie Redknapp and Ruud Gullit, and other sporting greats – like Nigel Mansell, Ian Botham, Michael Vaughan, Michael Ballack and Boris Becker – have also participated down the years, as well as the majority of golf's biggest names, too.
The attraction for them all is quite obvious: the opportunity to play on three of golf's most revered and illustrious courses – the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie's Championship Course, and Kingsbarns Golf Links.
Each venue has played its own special part in the history of this fantastic pro-am but some of the most memorable moments have, unquestionably, taken place at Kingsbarns.
For example, who can forget Peter Uihlein's magical round of 60 there in 2013 en route to finishing second in the championship? Or, indeed, English pro Paul Waring's hole-in-one at the par-4 sixth in 2014? Or Colin Montgomerie's albatross at the third during the second round of the 2002 championship?Or the aforementioned Rory McIlroy taking a short break from his round to play with a black Labrador that ran onto the 18th tee during the Northern Irishman's visit to the course in 2014?
Then, of course, there was perhaps the most famous moment in the history of the championship when, just a matter of weeks after becoming the most decorated Olympian in history, American swimmer Michael Phelps holed an improbable 153-foot putt at the sixth. It took almost 20 seconds for the ball to find the hole after Phelps struck his putt and it is believed to be the longest putt ever caught by television cameras.
The pros absolutely love the course. Two-time European Tour winner Robert Rock is even on record as saying it is his favourite layout in the world. "It would be great if Kingsbarns would host more tournaments like this as we don't get to come back here enough," remarked the Englishman after playing there in 2012.
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell added: "Kingsbarns is one of the most beautiful courses in the world for sure. Having won the US Open at Pebble Beach this is probably something that compares to that kind of view and experience.
"It is a great course to play and it has gone from strength to strength every year. I enjoy it more and more every time I come back."
With praise like this, it's not hard to see how Kingsbarns Golf Links has made the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship one of the European Tour's most popular events.

Below is the selection of quotes from professional and amateur golfers alike at Kingsbarns:
"Kingsbarns is always lovely. There are so many golfers who I've spoken to all over the world who say it's an amazing place, and it is."
"It's a very clever course because it's modern but it's old and it looks like it has been there for a million years."
Damien Lewis
"I played the course for the first time about two days ago; it is stunning, absolutely beautiful."
"Kingsbarns is not like other links courses I've played. It's more designed and sculpted."
"The course is fantastic. I've played it for the last five or six years and it's brilliant."
"The course is beautiful, stunning."
"My favourite hole is the 6th because I drove it. I had an eagle putt that just came up short, so it's got to be my favourite hole."
David Duvall
"Kingsbarns is a nice place. Last year was my first exposure to it and I enjoy being here and walking around. All the views are incredible."
"It's a great course. It's always nice to be back here. It's probably the most scenic of the three courses in The Dunhill, and it's a good course for the amateurs as well."
Brandon Grace
"The course is in great shape, as it is usually. It is a great golf course in my book. I think The Women's Open is going to be good; it's going to be a great test for the ladies."
"One of my favourite holes is the par 3 down at the water; hole 15. It's just a stunning golf hole and it is tough as well; if you hit a great shot you're going to be rewarded."
Victor Dubuisson
"It's a very good course with beautiful views. It's a course I really like."
Stephen Gallagher
"The only reason I am here is to play these three courses; they're the best in the world."
"My favourite holes at Kingsbarns are the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, that stretch is unbelievable – so picturesque."
Colin Montgomerie
"All 18 holes at Kingsbarns are wonderful."
Paul McGinley
"I loved it, its one of my favourite courses to play."
"It is modern golf; a modern design and one of the better ones."
"It's a pleasure to play."
Edouardo Molinari
"I think it's a great golf course, it's in very good shape and it's always great to play."
"There are very nice views and I always have a lot of fun out there."
"I would say my favourite hole would be the par 5, third hole. It's very scenic and also a very fun hole to play."
"I think the Women's Open will be great. It's a fantastic golf course and I think it deserves to host major championships."
"It's a great course. Kingsbarns is a really great addition to the new links golf courses and one that's always a pleasure to play."
Ritchie Ramsay
"I always enjoy coming to Kingsbarns. It's a great set-up here; a lovely old style clubhouse, good range, good facilities and everyone is really welcome here."
"The views are always great; you're always looking at the water which is nice."
(Women's Open)
"It's a great viewing course. If you go out there, there are a lot of mounds. I know it's been created artificially but it does look very natural. I'm sure a lot of people will come to watch it; a great spectacle for golf."
"I'm sure the women will enjoy playing golf here. It will be a good test."
"The course is really nice, it's a good design and it's good for all kind of players. Hole 12 is beautiful. It's unbelievable playing so close to the sea. It is great."
"I love Kingsbarns. I have got great memories here."
"The first time I played here was in 2004 in the Duke of York Young Champions Trophy. I played really well. I remember I was 8 under through 12. It was the week after the Junior Ryder Cup and a few of us came over here to play; I had a great time. That was my first experience of Kingsbarns. And coming back now with the Dunhill Links Championship and everything – it's just a great golf course to play."
"There are so many great golf courses around here."
"Kyle Phillips has done a great job here. I've played some of his other courses. He knows what he is doing when he is designing."
"I always like to play Kingsbarns because it is so beautiful."
