With thoughts of Colonel Bogey and moving on
Having been there and...well you know the rest.
I've prioritized my time in The Kingdom and decided on Kingsbarns.
And for those of you who have a life beyond the clubhouse gates.
Here's some great shots of the wee village.
As you'll read - Kingsbarns is a conservation village.
And lovers of good old Scottish pubs - take note.
Not far from here is The 19th Hole public house that has been serving the community of Earlsferry for over 200 years.
And just in case you miss popping into the BRITISH GOLF MUSEUM in St Andrews.
Here's the link
And did you know that according to the Museum's FAQs
Why is BOGEY so called?
The term originated from the mythical golfer, Colonel Bogey, a player of high amateur standard who was held to play every hole of a given course in the standard stroke score. The meaning of the term has changed over the years. It is now most commonly used to denote a score of one stroke over par, but was originally the target score that a good amateur should achieve on a given course. In the same way par became associated with the target score for professionals. For a while the two terms were interchangeable until par became the standard term.
