Well my conference is over and I left Edinburgh this morning on a bus. Just as muslims go on a pilgrimage to Mecca, golfers must go to St Andrews. Thus I arrived in St Andrews this morning and am staying at the only hostel in town. When I got here I asked how many people were in the town and he started to laugh and then said about 20. I think he meant 20,000. Below are a few pictures from my journey through St Andrews today, the ruins are from St Andrews Cathedral that was quite impressive, albeit many rocks and gravestones. I also walked around and found my way to the St Andrews golf courses. In total, they have 5 courses but are most renowned for a course named simply, "The Old Course". The British Open is played at St Andrews every 5 years and it is the home of golf. This course has been around for more than 600 years.
I am planning on playing tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will warm up and I'll get some sun. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to take a caddie but either way it won't be a cheap round of golf, however, when in St Andrews, you must play golf.
