We just spent a week (five days) in St Andrews, Scotland&#8230;in February??? Yes. R attended the R&#38;A&#8217;s 20th annual Referees School at St Andrews. I didn&#8217;t think we would be able to play, so I was just looking forward to try out a restaurant or two.

You won&#8217;t believe it. We didn&#8217;t believe it. When we first knew we were going to Scotland in February for the R&#38;A&#8217;s Referee School, we expected rain, snow and freezing weather so we didn&#8217;t even bother bringing any golf gear along. But in the back of our minds, we had a glimmer of hope&#8230;maybe with [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-the-old-course-st-andrews-scotland/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Review &#8211; The Seafood Restaurant, St Andrews, Scotland</title><link>http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-the-seafood-restaurant-st-andrews-scotland/</link> <comments>http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-the-seafood-restaurant-st-andrews-scotland/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 08 Feb 2010 06:00:18 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>birdie</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Europe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Food]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Review]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Restaurant]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Scotland]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Seafood]]></category> <category><![CDATA[St Andrews]]></category><guid

We arrived at St Andrews, Scotland today and we were surprised to see fairly calm skies, just cloudy. No rain or snow here in February? Maybe it&#8217;ll be sunny enough to play some golf?

Ahhh, the tasting we&#8217;ve all been waiting for. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or DRC. Wait! We were told that it is sacrilegious to shorten the name and it should be said out in full all the time.
