Roadtrip; Nairn Dunbar

Wow, that course was something special. It was manicured really well, the little details like run off areas were perfect, and the greens were absolutely fantastic, both in terms of condition and design. Every hole presented a different challenge, and aesthetically the view from every tee was appealing. Having been dead calm in Boat of Garten, it was blowing a gale in Nairn, just 30 miles up the road. The course off the back tees would be one of the hardest I had played, with it being midweek we played it off the yellow tees, although the SSS is still 72 from the yellows, as opposed to 74 from the backs. There was a bit of a rain shower around the turn, but it remained dry otherwise.
As for the golf, 38 out, 38 back, for a very, very respectable 76. This was at least as good as the 70 from this morning, all things considered.
The clubhouse was a fantastic piece of work too, set up on a hill like a beacon of hope to golfers on the last tee, giving excellent views back down the course from the lounge. In general the whole setup looks as if it is run very professionally.
Tomorrow we'll be playing in an Open competition, so hopefully the little bit of form can continue.
