St. Andrews is a special place in the world for golfers. We Battys know this, and we were anxious to see those authentic golfers doing their thing. Fortunately, the 1st and 18th green were within public reach, so Deb and Edie headed down to touch the famous grass! Without upsetting the caddies too much, they posed for a few notable pictures hoping to make the front page of the St. Andrew's press. After waiting several minutes for the press to arrive, they gave up hope and headed into the British Golf Museum. Although Edie thought this was interesting, the rest of us weren't as excited. One can only look at so many golf clubs and balls before they all start looking the same. After a few souvenirs and nearly losing my very expensive lens by accidentally leaving it on the cashier's counter, we headed into town to do some shopping.
St. Andrews turned out to be rather interesting since it was graduation day from St Andrews University. Scores of families were in the streets with their graduates donned in gorgeous robes and fancy clothes. Plenty of bow ties, formal dresses, and a few kilts made sidewalk viewing a lot of fun. Sometimes it doesn't take much to keep us to be entertained!
Fortunately, it was also a glorious day for going to the beach. Just off the 18th green is a little road that takes people to the public beach that lines the golf course. It is absolutely beautiful. Deb raced toward the incoming tide, snapping pictures and writing 'Batty 2013' in the sand, yet forgot to look out at the water and was soon, scampering away with wet feet. Edie delighted in picking up seashells for her collection, and all too shortly, we made our way back to Glenrothes for a wonderful family dinner.
