The oldest golf club in the world!!!
I haven't ever played #golf but I like to watch the game. Every time I watched a golf match in #Scotland or England on TV, I was attracted by a beautiful course.

One of my dreams has come true. The destination is the famous Old Course in St. Andrews!

The players looked very relaxing and were putting on "the Himalayas", where is a putting green next to the Old course. 

I could see the course with my own eyes and feel very strong wind like a typhoon as seen on TV. Everything was just fabulous!
