Golf in Scotland



I'm really glad that when dad came to visit, he finally got to fulfil a lifelong dream and play golf in Scotland. On top of that, the day we played one of the best courses in the area, Cruden Bay, we were blessed with magnificent weather, which definitely made up for below average performances from both of us given that it was a very difficult course. Besides this course we also got to play the scenic highland course Ballater (mom posted some photos of Ballater last month), got rained out at another course in Aboyne (Goo & Rico will remember Aboyne for the Highland games we saw there) and then had the wind get the best of us as at Newmachar. We were meant to play at Newmachar in a highly touted father and son match against a friend from work and his dad until it became obvious that we were all up against gale force winds that pretty much changed the game from a competitive one to everyone just trying to survive against the wind! Here are some pics from Cruden Bay in what was overall a very good week of golf.
