Edinburgh and the Dalmahoy Hotel....




The Dalmahoy Estate outside of Edinburgh is our home base the next week or so. We have stayed here several times before and always find the service to be wonderful. It also offers an excellent staging area for our golfing excursions while we are here. Aside from all of the wonderful courses within an hour or so, there are also two courses here on the property. On the way up through the Highlands, Kristen located a fitness club close by and she was itching to get some exercise in once we got settled in. The only logical thing for me to do was to go play some golf and get some practice in for Gullane #1 tomorrow. The championship course here at the Dalmahoy was designed by famed golfer James Braid and proved to be a good test. Due to my late start I only got 9 holes in. With all of the rain here in the area lately the course was rather muddy so 9 was plenty. Below are some more views of the hotel.....




We decided not to venture out into Edinburgh on our first night here so we landed on room service and some Sky Sports coverage of the PGA tour. Perfect way to end the day though as we were both exhausted. Tomorrow I am headed to Gullane # 1 and Kristen is headed to Exercise Palooza. She will be taking 7 consecutive exercise classes throughout the day while I am on the course. More power to her!
