Having served in the USAF for over 21 years I've been fortunate to travel to quite a few nice courses. While serving in Europe, I spent 10 days in Scotland and got to play Carnoustie and St. Andrews (New, Eden Jubilee as well as the Old Course). For 8 of the 10 days (we went in May 1993) the weather was gorgeous. On the days we played Carnoustie and St. Andrews is was very cold, rained all day with 30 mph winds. I shot a 90 in the morning at Carnoustie and an 89 in the afternoon (which I was very proud of). My handicap at the time was a 4 so you can imagine how tough the conditions were. But I enjoyed every minute of it and would do it again in a heartbeat.
