Today we played a course named Longniddry. It is not a very well known course like some of the others, and was in good condition, but will suffer by comparision. If you plan a golf trip and a course like Longniddry is the worst course you play, it would have been a great vacation.
The rough was incredibly tough to get out of and we finally got some real Scottish weather with consistent 20-25 miles per hour with gusts of up to 35-49 miles per hour. It also semed like the wind was always in our faces. On the second day in a row I parred the last hole into a strong wind.
Next up is Turnberry, another Open Championship course (the Open will be played there in 2009). From the weather report, it looks like we will have some stereotypical weather there as well. They are calling for winds of 15 MPH and light rain. We are really looking forward to this course. We have been told by several different people that Turnberry is spectacular.
We have a few more options for playing the Old Course. We have entered the daily lottery for tomorrow and the current plan is that if we do not make the lottery, we will drive up there and try to get on by breaking up into 2 twosomes. Keep your fingers crossed, pray, meditate, or whatever it is you do that we can get on one way or another.
