Day 92 - Tour Day 3


I am not sure what we have done to deserve it, but we have just had another day of fine weather for the time of year! The wind was gentle, we had sun for most of the round and only got our wets out for the final couple of holes,  Aren't we lucky!

We had started the morning off with a private tour of the Glenmorangie distillery. Having done a number of such things in the past, I was a but sceptical, but it was very interesting and impressive to see the recent investment by the new shareholder, Louis Vuitton. The latter appear to have stimulated a growth in new flavours: sherry, port and even chocolate, all with fancy brands to match.

From the distillery, we headed further north to the town of Brora, to play our third round of the tour. We arrived in plenty of time for a lazy lunch and then headed out. The course is not over-long but has some splendid views of the sea and the hills around. There were very few playing on the course so it was a case of millionaires' golf.

At one point, the tournament's leader looked in trouble: the wheels had certainly come of his trolley and the same risked being true of his game for a while. In the end, he pulled things back together and goes into the final day with an 8 point lead...
