What A Way To Finish......The Old Course

Go Time @ Old Course

Our week in St Andrews has come to an end and if you would have told us earlier in the week, the weather would be like this, we wouldn't have believed you. If our day out at Kingsbarns was good weather, then today on The Old Course was one for the ages. It couldn't have been better for us. While the temps were still a bit cool, there wasn't much wind and the clouds were few and far between. I was so happy for Paul to get to cross this one off his list on such a glorious Sunday. We were playing a Best Ball stableford match today so it was all about earning points on each hole.

Undulations everywhere.... #Imagination

Paul and Caddy working out their game plan....

You want no part of this...

We finally got a little help with the wind as we made the turn for home at the difficult Par 4 12th. 

Avoiding the fairway bunkers would be one thing, navigating the slopes of this green quite another.

Love looking out across this landscape with the town in the back drop. A special place indeed.....

Yes, that 17th....

The final two holes here at The Old Course are the stuff of legend. The Road Hole 17th challenges every aspect of your game from navigating the tee shot over / around the hotel and then there's that bunker and the green! Brutal....The 18th is a much different hole to finish the round. While the tee shot doesn't pose much of a threat, the "Valley of Sin" in the front left of the green makes an up and down for par very challenging in the pin is front left. Guess where the pin was today? Guess also where we both ended up?

Thankful as always for my time here in St Andrews and thankful to share it with Paul on his maiden voyage across the pond. We may not have won the 175th Anniversary Member / Guest here this week but we sure had fun and made a lot of memories. Thanks for following along and we hope you enjoyed our adventures along the way.
