hitting golf balls

On Wednesday, after Cricket, Naomi and I hit golf balls at the driving range next to the Old Course (and a few other courses). Then, Naomi, Marian, Laura Conboy and I got tea and a snack at the Old Course Hotel. I had a blast hitting balls with Naomi! It was so fun, and I hit them well today. I wish I tried to play on the Old Course, or one of the other 7, maybe the New Course, made by Tom Morris (look him up). In fact, I saw his, and his son's, Tommy Morris', grave today (the 16th), at the St. Andrews Cathedral.

I got 125 balls all together. Plus, a 9 iron.

To get to the hitting part.

Making golf clubs

I like that I got my own little booth, sort of inside. Of course, there were other ones normal, outside.And, I think this repeated to the left, after the entrance and reception area.

The green is St. Salvator's, on North street. It is green every night.

The old course hotel on the right. In the distance, the green tower is St. Salvator's Chapel.

I got Ceylon Chai. It was really good, and I am not the biggest tea person. It had a hint of cinnamon, but then again, the whole Road Hole Bar did. I thought it was cool to need a sieve for the tea leaves.

Smoked Salmon sandwiches.

The lobby of the hotel. It was a very nice hostel. but, it was very Americanized, and it looked like it should be in the US on a ski resort.

It is right on the course. And appartenly, golfers need to shoot over part of the building on the "Road Hole," 17th hole fairway.

A Kohler hotel... Kohler like the bathroom fixtures... like from Kohler Wisconsin.
