Yesterday we played at Kingsbarns George's favourite golf course. He has been waxing lyrically about this course and his caddy Kenny since we met. Sure enough on the way to the course he was at it again. Now for my money it is the best course in Scotland, which is statement enough but George takes his praise to a higher place. As for Kenny his favourite caddy, well I do believe in Georges eyes Kenny can do the equivalent of walking on water !!!As usual the sun shone on the guys whilst it rained everywhere around them, how they keep avoiding getting wet I will never know.
Their day was so good that they wanted to play the course again today, in the hope that they make the ballot on Saturday and would you believe these lucky so and so's got their wish. Tee times at Kingsbarns at 10am and 10.10am then they came out of the ballot for 7am and 7.40am tomorrow. I think I should ask these guys for six lucky numbers for the lottery ! The week is starting to feel like the film groundhog day and I believe had they not made the ballot George would have had the guys playing Kingsbarns on Saturday as well. It is a simple routine they like their dinner in The Russell Hotel and their golf at Kingsbarns. Thankfully we got tee times for the Old Course and Kenny has talked them into trying a different restaurant tonight.
Saturday is a big day for the guys, or maybe just George I'm not really certain. We play the Old Course and then George has got us all tickets to see Runrig at Scone Palace. As one very unkind Scotsman said to me Status Quo in kilts, personally I think that is a bit harsh. In the meantime would you believe George is friends with the lead singer, not only do we all have to go to the concert but we will be joining the band at the after show party. Great if you love name dropping, but as an Englishman I think I would rather take my chances at the agm of the tartan army in Aviemore !!
