Ever wonder what it’s like to meet Jamie?! Does you’re heart still beat?! Do your lungs continue to fill with air?! Probably not – So we asked the lovely @ScarletteDrake about her encounter with Jamie at the Alfred Dunhill Links Pro-Am Championship on Saturday October 3rd, 2015 – and her response might just make you envy her even more!
Crissy: “Can you describe your immediate thoughts/reactions when you got your first glimpse of Jamie?”
Crissy: “Is Jamie any good at golf? Do you know anything about the sport or were you just there for Jamie?”
Crissy: “Did you touch him?”
Lisa: “Can you describe your thoughts as Jamie exited the portoloo and how he looked while he was tucking in?”
Lisa: “Do you plan on returning to the ADL next year if Jamie attends again? Would you do anything or prepare differently than you did this year?”
Lisa: “Do you have any advice for fans on how to prepare for meeting Jamie?”
Alisa: “In your own words, what would be the best description of how Jamie smells?”
Alisa: “How was Jamie’s overall demeanor with the fans? Was he comfortable, reserved, happy to interact with them?”
Alisa: “Is Jamie better at putting or teeing off?”
Holly: “Was this your first time meeting Jamie? If so, what was the most memorable part about your encounter with him?”
Holly: “How did you prepare for this experience? Were you nervous, excited, terrified? Did you lose sleep the night before?”
In @ScarletteDrake’s own words: “He is more beautiful in the flesh than you can ever imagine. I asked a few of the other girls there and they were all basically saying the same. “He’s so lovely and kind with fans, isn’t he? He looks better than last year doesn’t he?” He looked so relaxed and happy just chatting with the guys and I think he really loves playing the tournament. His pro partner was a bit moody and we all started to wonder if it was because Jamie was getting most of the attention. I feel bad about saying he was moody sometimes because he really wasn’t – he was just rushed for time at the start and this is why he looks a little grumpy in some pics maybe. I’d say that he was the most requested star there from what I could see in terms of pics and autographs and he stopped for every single one. Might be worth adding that the officials at the tournament were amazing. So helpful and friendly and allowed us to get really close to him while at the same time being respectful in asking us to be quiet during shots. Also but not lastly, he is SO graceful. I don’t know how I never noticed it before. But he walks so tall and holds himself so well, broad shoulders and straight back and his Dornan Walk has been perfected into something magical. He moves fluidly and gracefully and is almost hypnotic.”
Thank you sooooo much @ScarletteDrake for answering our questions. And thank you for sharing all the lovely pictures and videos of Jamie you took during the tournament! Until next year!

IN LIKE A LAMB, OUT LIKE A LION.
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is a non-profit organization driven on raising funds to support various works of charity and volunteering. To be asked to participate in such an elite tournament comes with great honour and Jamie Dornan couldn’t have been happier to return. The chance to participate offers more
than just invaluable advice from pro golfers -the prestigious invitation to simply participate is nothing short of complimentary.
Today, Jamie saw his second year at the ADL come to an end as he sadly did not place high enough on the leader boards to compete in the third and final round of competition. Dornan and his partner Peter Uihlein placed 147th out of 168 teams which sadly was not quite good enough to advance to Round 4 of the tournament.
The sun was glistening on the grassy greens of Kingsbarn when Jamie and Peter took to the 10th hole. But optimism didn’t last long as Jamie lost his ball on the course while Peter, the pro, offered up a double bogey, two shots over the expected average for said point in the game which is the worst score one can achieve in golf.
Dornan and Uihlein needed to hit below par on all games if they had any hopes of achieving a spot in the top 20. Although they did accomplish this on seven holes; 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12 and 16 two of which were executed by Dornan. However Dornan and Uihlein put another double bogey on the 13th hole. Jamie’s no pro, so it was Peter’s score used on for the leader boards.
Overall, Jamie played exceptionally well. So well, he accomplished three of the best and highest scores throughout the games. All other points are courtesy of Peter who played an average score on most of the holes, except the 15th where he did better than a bogey and on the 16th where he hit his last birdie (One put less than the expected average)
In conclusion, Dornan and Uihlein ended their time at Dunhill Links with a total of 206 points. They scored -10 par which was 20 points over the team who placed first. Peter’s personal scorecard, who finished the tournament with 73 (more than the average) and a team result of -1 below the norm revealed that Jamie played well with two points below his projected handicap. (Again, the handicap of a player is established by combining their GPA during their last ten games)
In an interview in 2012, Jamie revealed that his handicap had been established at 14. Janice Haynes, an analyst for the game, said that any players handicap can vary on a wide scale due to multiple circumstances over a period of time. Assuming that Jamie’s handicap remained at 14, we can conclude that Jamie played 84 today which is exceptional for an amateur golfer.
The cumulative score obtained by Dornan and Uihlein over the course of their three days on the green was not great in terms of a championship pro-am. But it didn’t have to be. Jamie played with class, elegance and style and is far from his self proclaimed Bad Golfer title.
We’ve enjoyed watching him this weekend and can’t wait until next year where we hope he will be invited back to play in the 2016 Pro-Am. As for his post golf experience, Jamie has been spotted at the ADL Gala Dinner with fellow golfers enjoying a well deserved pint of beer; the perfect end to a fantastic tournament.
Until next year, Jamie.
