Day 5: Golf and an Unexpected Party!
Today was meant to be an “off” day. We’ve been trudging pretty hard since arriving, so we thought we’d just drive around a bit then visit a course from 2018 that left us with horrible scores, but great stories— a little-known course called West Kilbride. To start the day, we headed south on the west…
