    St Andrews golf course

    July 12, 2017 in Scotland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    It's a very mild 17C, no rain and a very gentle breeze as we stroll around St Andrews Golf Course. We certainly weren't expecting these conditions.
    Phil's eyes are darting from tees to fairways and bunkers to greens and the understatement is 'its certainly a nice course'.
    It only cost GBP90 ($150) to play this 'nice' course. The course is closed today as it is hosting the Scottish Under 16 Boys Open. Do they have any idea how fortunate they are?

    Phil - I had not planned to take the detour to St. Andrews, but glad my wife placed it on the agenda. Great day for it, as there was limited wind and not too cold. As the golf shop guy said, we usually play Scottish golf here. If you go off the fairway you are stuffed here. Can see why it is tough in the wind and I would need a few balls as the fairway runs very close to the ocean.
