This was our one day in Edinburgh! We checked out of our “self-catering” apartment in Cellerdyke, Fife, in the cute, cute town. Did I mention the Corner Store? Everything you could need in the size of a living room. And the waterfront—Doc Martin could have used this as an alternate set! The drive to Edinburgh…

Today was an easy day because we only had one thing scheduled. Let me start by talking about our cute, cute neighborhood in Cellardyke, Anstruther, Fife, Scotland. You’ve probably heard of Fife because St Andrews (Church, University, and famous golf courses are here). We are now 9 miles south of St. Andrews and just 3…

We arrived at the New/Old Course at 8:30 am and secured a tee time for 9:37 am on the New Course. (Really lucky—this is a terrific starting time!) The New Course runs right alongside the Old Course and with plenty of ocean views. So, anytime we want during the game, we can run over and…

We didn’t play golf today, just looked at it! We checked out of the Carnoustie Golf Hotel and Spa (a truly lovely place) late and in very windy conditions. The sun was bright, but we did better in the last two days than we would have done today. Sitting in The Rookery (Carnoustie’s upstairs restaurant—…

Oh, we were worried about the weather and our ability to endure. We were counting our golf games so far. 11 games in 14 days —and we’ve enjoyed every unique course and friend along the way. Here, the weather report is called “the forecast”—and it hasn’t been good. Every day rain, rain, rain. But truthfully,…

This was the day central to this whole trip, our reunion with Kerr whom we met last year and whom we kept in touch with all year. It’s goofy, but golfing friends always have something to talk about! Kerr is a local and a member at Carnoustie, so today we would be his guest. Thank…

Cruden Bay Golf Club was a hidden gem that has now been discovered by the tour groups. It’s on the east coast above Aberdeen and Trump National, both of which get more attention, which is fine with us. Meanwhile, the course is spectacular with views that go on for miles and a history that goes…

We got up in time to talk to a few of the 16 member golf tour of all guys who were dressed in either red or blue to make up their ow Ryder Cup teams on tour. Sounds like fun! They each had their own room and came in a huge bus. We found out…

We started the morning late with a phone call from downstairs. We needed to hurry or we’d miss breakfast. Mary is our waitress/cook and whom we remember from all the years we’ve visited here. She cares for her customers and looks just like to cook from “Downton Abbey” maybe even with a similar voice. We…

Today, we had a bit of a leisurely morning because we were checking out before golf at Moray New Course. We had a table for breakfast with a beautiful view of the course as the rain started coming down. Our tee time was a 9:40 (seems we had that time every day so far!) but…
