I have been and played here before. Wee Man’s second visit, same fixture for him too
The Inveravon Pictish Stones. Explaining how old they are to a 9 year old blows their mind
Since we were passing, a wee gander at the best ground in Scotland in post-season mode
One reason for the visit to Grantown on Spey. Catch footgolf again before it is out of season
I wont reach 104. No chance. However, if I did I will be sitting stewing in my own dirt stuck in a seat. Not pulling myself round a golf course. Fair play to him
Great views of the Spey from the course
The best invention ever
Since they asked nicely
Seat for a break from the heat. My bag of sweeties tore open in my pocket, leaving bon bon powder everywhere.
First failure for food. Went back for a pint though and it was full of Brochers
Sometimes i forget Wee Man is just away to turn 9. I had to explain what this is
Cup day
The Board Room
Pre-match formalities
Scotty Barbour kicking off. I told Wee Man he would score. He did
I have never seen the hills without a dusting of snow. All four previous viewing visits have been in the cold. Today was mid 20s
Water break due to the previously mentioned mid 20s
