I played with a couple from Scotland yesterday that have been coming here for 15 years. I learned that where they come from it doesn't get dark until 10pm in the summer. I wonder if that why golf is popular because at least in the summer you can put in a full days work and still have time for 18 holes.
The were a delightful couple with a good sense of humor. I asked about their courses and it struck me funny that they are each members of 2 different country clubs but not each others. He told me the rough in Scotland is different and that is doesn't get tangled in your club like here. She said that here she has to hit one club more than back home. She suspects it's the air here. They love the villages and found the place in a golf magazine. They also said that only tourists play at the big name courses and their a small named courses that are just as nice but not nearly as expensive.
