While America fights for freedom

Royal Aberdeen golf course was built in 1780, which means we played on a course that is 228 years old. The clubhouse is fantastic with old pictures of the course and golfers throughout the years. There's a wall showing the club champions dating back until 1832 and another showing the club presidents which dates back until 1780. The place has history all around it. Unfortunately, there wasn't much more history made because it's the toughest course we've played so far and the wind was unreal. Many of the fairways were 15-20 yards wide once off of them the rough was thick and heavy. Yuk. The weather though was gorgeous again! Tomorrow it is supposed to get colder, high of 57.

Before golf we made an hour and a half trip to a local distillery. We arrived around 10:15 with no other cars in the parking lot. The man inside said they wouldn't be taking another tour until 11:00 and that the tour takes about 45 minutes. We had a 2:00 tee time and couldn't risk not being back, so we couldn't go on the tour, even though nobody else was really going to show up. It was very sad but we did get a brief overview of the distilling process and watched a short video. Overall though it was a little disappointing, especially because the drive was so long.

The days have started to blend together and there isn't a ton of excitement other than golfing. Not sure what we're going to do after golf tomorrow, but we'll find something to do. Maybe we'll go kilt hunting!

That's all for now. Cheers!
