Day 6 - St. Andrews

A very early start today brought us to St. Andrews as the sun came up. We made a brief stop at the cathedral ruins. Hardly anyone was around this early, so it was nice and peaceful.
We got a chance to see the famous St. Andrews Golf Course. How these guys could be golfing, we have no idea. It was freezing and really windy. The guys were blowing on their hands between swings to keep warm. On top of that, the air force base across the bay was doing testing and jets were taking off every few minutes. Not really the game I'm sure they were looking forward to!

Harry said the wait for a game is currently a year and that sometimes the mist comes in off the ocean and you can't even see your feet. But you take your tee time or go back on the waiting list, so they have people playing in even the worst weather.
Inside this coat and hat is a very cold Deb. Karen decided a picture on the 18th hole wasn't worth it!
The last picture is the golf museum where Deb and Karen spent most of the morning. Amazing how interesting you can find golf when the space is heated!
