A respite from the deep bunkers (Mike was in heaven) and some tall trees to replace,as we joined highly-regarded Professional, Alan TAIT. He oversees the operations at Deer Park, west of Edinburgh.

Despite heavy rains that fell earlier in the week, the course was impeccable, with beautiful greens. This, of course, worked against me as the occasional bump in in the road would have allowed for a couple more hole-outs.

Alan put on a show, birdieing the first two holes before allowing us in for one. While I was still recovering from my Muirfield high, they were quietly stuffing us up. The traditional Scottish rolls Best beer after nine provided more highlights than John and I could muster.

We shook hands on the 15th as a team and on the 16th with Mike.

The hospitalty, the weather and the comaradarie was unsurpassed.

The Accommodation (Beaches and owner, Jan) was perfect for location and comfort



The remaining days show rain but we came prepared! Off to PRESTWICK!
