Jubilee and the Highland Games

The weather turned bad again on Sunday morning. My colleague Spence Kramer and I played the Jubilee Course this morning in a constant drizzle. We were hoping to play the New Course, but there was a tournament this morning. The Jubilee is probably a more challenging course as there is no bail out space on either side. Spence was playing well, but he struggled a little with his driver. I poked along to an 85 which I am pretty happy with, as this is my lowest score on this course.

The rain kept up through lunch when my cousins Gregor and Sara showed up from Edinburgh. Greg was just back from a bachelor party in England, but looked good. His wife Danella is pregnant with their third child and the other two kids were great. Sara was in good form too. After lunch, the sun came out and we all went over to the St. Andrews Highland Games. It is a little small time, but they have all the traditional sports, including the caber toss. There were rides for the kids as well as lots of junk food and crap to buy. The Highland Games in Portland is ten times bigger and has a lot more stuff, but it still feels more fun to go to one in Scotland.
