Dunhill
So it's that time of year when celebrities and professionals pair up to play some golf. I haven't personally seen any celebs but a friend got her photo taken with Hugh Grant (she wasn't impressed) and they say Samuel L Jackson and Bill Murray are enjoying the night life.
The night before the last day of play they put on a fireworks display over the water at the West Sands. Josh and I walked out to the Old Course with the droves of students, St Andrews residents and golf visitors. I had never seen the Old Course at night and it has a very eerie feel. All you can see is the top of the grassy slopes - anything could be lurking in the darkness beneath. And you know the Sea is beyond it but all you see is darkness. Remember Agatha Christie's Murder on the Links? I can well imagine.
The fireworks were fantastic - the best I've ever seen. Standing on the course, listening to Highland Cathedral blasting through the speakers, watching the show - it made me feel quite loyal to Scotland. Unfortunately next up on the soundtrack was StarWars...not so much.
In other news, Josh is grieving along with all the other Cubs fans around the world. There's always next year...it's only been a century.
