Carnoustie Golf Links

Today Nina and Jim were booked to play Carnoustie Championship Links at 11am and with the weather being a little overcast the day did not look too promising. Sure enough it did rain on and off for most of their round. The starter paired them up with a couple of German golfers.
The day didn't start to great for Jim as when we arrived at Carnoustie he discovered that he had left his golf shoes in the changing rooms at Turnberry. With the best will in the world even I couldn't do a two hundred and sixty mile round trip and get the golf shoes back on time. So it was into the pro shop and a nice new pair of brown eccos to start the day. If Jim wants to forget them before he catches his flight home there will be no complaints from the driver.
It was an expensive day for me too as I decided to visit the Carnoustie Golf Shop on the High Street, by the time they finished with me I was walking out with a new Taylor Made Burner driver. I have to thank Mike Twigg and his party for giving me the means to afford such a luxury, thanks guys you were very kind and please come back again I need a five wood !!
When Nina and Jim finished their round it was back to the hotel after a couple of errands in St Andrews, mainly to prevent Jim from getting egg on his face should he have been proved wrong about the hotels electrics. Tonight they are dining in the hotel with a friend should he make it down from Inverness in time.
Tomorrow we are fortunate enough to have got a 8.10am tee time in the Old Course ballot. It is a local time so I will have to play with the pair. At this time of the year it is almost impossible to be successful in the ballot because the R&A have a large block of tee times till the end of the month. But being a member of The St Andrews Club I am allowed to ballot for a local time, if I hadn't done this they would never have got on
