点评:What a great introduction to golf in Scotland. I had heard of Anstruther from a mate who lives in the same small California mountain town as I do, and it did not disappoint. His mum still lives in Anstruther and came out to say hello on the first tee. A wonderful Scottish welcome.
Ended up playing it twice, once with my friend's cousin, who showed me around the course on a mostly sunny day. And again just over a week later with friends from home, in true Scottish weather - wind and rain. I was the guide, and they were glad to have the guidance.
Hole #5, The Rockies, is all you've heard. If you go, be sure to look down on it from the 3rd Green, it will look daunting. It is. One of the highlights of my two weeks of Scottish golf was hitting the fairway on this long par 3 - not once but twice. I still carded a 4 and a 5, but that's considered well done.
The clubhouse staff was great. Two of my friend's were without their clubs for this round (airline delivered them late that day), and the rental clubs were workable.
翻译:真是一次很棒的苏格兰高尔夫入门体验。我从一个和我住在同一个加利福尼亚小山城的朋友那里听说了安斯特拉瑟,它没有让我失望。他的母亲仍然住在安斯特拉瑟,她在第一洞发球台上出来跟我打招呼。苏格兰式的热情欢迎。
最后打了两次,一次是和我朋友的表弟一起,他在一个阳光明媚的日子带我参观了球场。一周后,我又和家乡的朋友一起打了一次,天气是真正的苏格兰天气——风雨交加。我是向导,他们很高兴得到我的指导。
你所听到的都是第 5 洞,落基山脉。如果你去的话,一定要从第 3 洞果岭往下看,它看起来令人生畏。确实如此。我两周苏格兰高尔夫的亮点之一是在这个长三杆洞上击球——不是一次,而是两次。我仍然打了 4 杆和 5 杆,但这已经算是做得很好了。
俱乐部工作人员很棒。我的两个朋友这次都没有带球杆(航空公司当天晚些时候才送来),但租用的球杆还能用。
