Kingsbarns Golf Links (yesterday)

Yes Mrs Twigg you are correct ! They have kept the driver that busy he hasn't had time to write the daily tour blog. So I'm now playing catch up but more importantly trying to remember where we have been and what we did, and I'm the sober one!!

Tuesday was a 9am tee time at Kingsbarns Golf Links, personally my favourite course. It's both fair and pleasing to the eye, also boasting that you can see the water from every hole, which is true.

Two main talking points this morning. Firstly all the guys enjoyed a good meal at Ziggys, and some are keeping to their threat of keeping the bar open. However attempts to get back into the Russell Hotel, the scene of dinner the night before failed. Why because the staff did not want them back ! Only joking when they passed the hotel on their way home the bar was closed. For those wives that maybe a little concerned I would like to point out that bars close to the public at 11pm in St Andrews.

Secondly it has been brought to my attention that one member of the group has seriously let the side down. He drank lemonade all night and went to bed early, some people have no shame, but we will not mention names as we don't want David to feel embarrassed !

After golf at Kingsbarns the guys had lunch in the clubhouse where they met Ron Smart the owner of Travelling The Fairways, the company that put together this trip. Free caps and T shirts were given out by Ron.

Now the reason why there was no blog yesterday is because six of the guys thought it would be great if we could get on The Old Course in the afternoon. You know there is a reason why they have a lottery everyday for people to play the course and that's because it is always oversubscribed ! So the Twigg Party think the driver can fix everything, thanks guys !!!! Well we did fix it and I am not going to say how we did it, but it was all legal and above board. The only catch was that I had to play and no disrespect to the guys but at this time of the year there are a thousand other jobs that need doing before I can play. However we played and enjoyed the company, even Bruce and his constant whining about being given the wrong information. David (the lemonade kid) and Rick sat out the opportunity. David, well we know why, and Rick has a painful ailement.

The golf finished around 9.30pm, which mean't that the guys had missed there dinner reservation at The Seafood Restaurant. Nobody seemed too concerned except Ron the tour operator whose credit card was debited £10 per head for the eight that did not show. S0 beware of the invoice when you get home guys, but still the experience was worth the £10.

The guys then went back to Ziggys for their dinner again, burgers, steaks, chilli etc. Once again seven of the guys went back to the hotel and haunted the bar, and one went to bed early. God bless the lemonade kid !!!
