Sean Adams, a golf professional and friend of Janette and Steve kindly picks us up at 12:30 for a day of golfing at Culcrieff golf course in Crieff, which is in Perthshire on the southern end of the Scottish highlands. Sean is so friendly and welcoming (as all of the Scottish people have been so far), and goes about spending his whole day with us...what a guy!
The drive takes about 1/2 hour and is very scenic. We go through the town of Muthill, which is quaint, but has some strange halloween-type effigies hanging about town. Sean says it gives him the willies. I agree.

Earlier, when we were checking Weather.com, we thought we were going to have rain all day. As a matter of fact, it was marvelous weather. Puffy-white clouds, blue sky, slightly warm -- couldn't ask for a better day for golf.
Culcrieff is breathtaking. I'll let the photos (and video) tell the story...

THANKS SEAN, FOR A BRILLIANT DAY!!
