A day at Turnberry

Dusk at Turnberry, two four balls coming down the 18th in the Ailsa Course.  This was the hole renamed after the Open in which Tom Watson beat Jack Nicklaus on the 18th.  Just as the group were putting out, there was a short 45 second downpour and with the sun setting out to sea, this rainbow formed perfectly over the hotel.  It was the only rain that the golfers saw for the whole round and three of them asked to play the course with me the following day which we duly did.  Because of the amount of rain this year in Scotland, all the links courses have really green fairways which is unusual for these courses making them play a little longer....oops! if you are short off the tee!
