Watching the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews golf links this week reminds me of my trip there in August 2006. We experienced perfect weather, 65F and sunny for four days of golf. However, the morning we stepped on to the famed Old Course, the golf gods reminded us of the nature of true Scottish links golf. They blessed us with 40 MPH sideways wind and rain. Later that afternoon, we played the New Course to glorious blue sky and puffy cumulus clouds.
But at least we got our taste of some real Scottish weather.
