Day 93 - Tour Day Final

Our last round was to be at Nairn Golf Club. This was on the way back to Aberdeen Airport so all very efficient. We arrived at the course to be greeted by sunshine as predicted and gusting winds,  the latter contrary to the previous night's weather forecast.

The first 9 holes are played pretty much straight into the wind, so this should on paper have been the tougher part of the course. Yet, at the turn both the overall leader and he who was closest on his heels played their better golf. That being said, by the time we had reached the last few holes the weather had definitely turned for the worse: driving rain and a temperature in the low single digits. 

We were very glad to get back to the clubhouse! The warm shower was also a real treat. Then up to the lounge for the final calculations and verifications. We had a new name in the Cup this year, with Roland Morley victorious, whilst I retained the Scratch Salver. 

Another great tour over and thoughts are already turning to the 2016 edition...  But first we need to get home: BA have canceled our flights (winds at Heathrow?). After many phone calls and countless attempts to get through to airlines, we have secured seats on an EasyJet flight to Gatwick. Fingers crossed that we get home tonight...
