More than 3,000 people already have entered a competition to name the seventh course in St Andrews, currently known as “Number 7”.
The contest began on November 1 and there have been some truly weird ideas.
The Intrepid, the Legacy, the Featherie and Stairway to Heaven have all been put forward.
Alan McGregor, general manager of the St Andrews Links Trust, said: “The number of entries the competition has attracted is way beyond our expectations. We thought there would be interest from around the world in a new course at the Home of Golf but we didn’t appreciate the strength of the emotional bond that golfers feel toward St Andrews.”
The name of the new course will be announced in January, and the winner will be among the first people in the world to play it early in 2008.
