Our second outing to Aigas Golf Course was a smidgen eventful in so far that dearest Bunty had some corking shots but these were outweighed by some Shanks (not of the porcelain variety). That said it was still very enjoyable since we managed to avoid the rain which we'd passed through on the drive to the course.
The opening hole (The Neuk) is some 515 yards and par 5; which is a bit steep for a novice, but she gamely persevered with her fairway woods. A plea for alcohol was in vain since the course and clubhouse must be the only dry one in Scotland.
The "Pitch and Run" shots became de rigeur to avoid the bunkers and the putting too saw leaps of improvement notwithstanding the occasional blip and she found one ball without loss of her own. This was cancelled out when I took a three wood shot and sent it out of bounds (and sight into the trees). One ball to the good cancelled by my white knuckle grip. Hey hoh next week will see the return to this wee gem of a course.
