Out the back window in Dornoch
« on: August 26, 2013, 05:50:59 AM »
Here's the view out my back window from Dornoch Square.....



That's all you can see of RDC, but the roof there is the starter's hut.

Sadly, we'll be leaving on Thursday, but only to Fife and the East Lothians.

The reality of heading home to Kansas on Sept 5 is starting to sink in, however.

I thought I had seen it before. If you think you've seen it before then now I know that I've seen it before.

Or words to that effect...

It's not ALL golf in Scotland



But there is some golf, including playing a mixed foursomes with Peter and Rosemary.  Peter was having a bit of a problem keeping the ball in the fairway on a couple of holes and they made at least one snowman. On the 18th, it was Peter's shot for a layup on the par five.

He says to Rosemary, "Where would you like the next shot?"

Rosemary said "The bar!" They've been married for 40 + years and play 20+ mixed foursome events a year.



FWIW, that's my wife driving on the 12th at Nairn Dunbar

Mine are on my Facebook page.  I open the image in Facebook (on Chrome), then right click on it, and choose "open image in a new tab."

Once it's open I copy the URL and add it to my post by clicking the photo icon here. It's this one .

Then paste the URL in between the codes that show up.

Like this guy named Barkley we met in the car park at Brora:



Or this one of my wife riding on a two-lane road with a 60 mph speed limit not far from Nairn Dunbar.

 I arrived back in Boston last week after 8 days in Dornoch,  participating in the Carnegie Shield ( High Handicap group, sorry)
 I also wish I knew how to post pictures.  Stayed at the Royal Golf Hotel on the course, have some great shots of the first fairway outside our window.  We actually had 180 degree views of the course from our room.  Great location for sure. My fourth time at the hotel and 7th Shield.

 The fairways were brown, and cut as low as I 've ever seen.  While it was fast, it was not as fast as I would have thought under the conditions.
  Greens were spectacular, as was the entire course . The overall experience spectacular, tempered by the fact that I did not make it into match play.

Speaking of "a room with a view," you can have a view virtually identical to the one above here:
