few showers were very lucky with the weather. My day started with a meeting, Tracey Smith the reservations manager at Turnberry was kind enough to treat me to coffee.Turnberry as some of you may know was taken over last year and is now part of the Luxury Collection Group, it also now managed by Starwood Management. So for all those members of these groups there cannot be many better places to use your loyalty points etc.
Once Nina and Jim had finished playing golf we faced a two and a half hour drive to St Andrews. In order to beat the tea time traffic in Glasgow they decided to get lunch to go. In the picture the couple are outside Peggys Tea Room in Kirkoswald, which is a couple of miles up the road from Turnberry. Nina said the sandwiches and the place were excellent, which is high praise from a lady that sets high standards.
After they checked in at The Old Course Hotel they made themselves at home in St Andrews. They wandered up North Street and explored the Abbey and university buildings. They had dinner at The Glass House, a restaurant I have yet to try and they assure me the food was great.
To wind down their evening they went to the cinema, the kind of old building you won't see too many of in the States and watched "The Time Travellers Wife". Tomorrow they face the challenge of Carnoustie.
Thanks to the lemonade kid for a very complimentary email about last week, but he rebelled on his last day at The Colonels House and didn't make his bed. Maybe there is hope for him yet.
