North Berwick - East Lothian, Scotland - June 2007

We began our round on June 18th, 2007 in unusually sunny conditions.  By the 8th hole, a thick haar had rolled in off the Firth of Forth.  It was one of the most memorable days on the golf course.

 

 

My first experience of "haar" (sea fog.) 

The haar can be seen in the distance rolling in from the Firth of Forth.

Visibility is down to 130 yards at the most. The ball disappears into whiteness at about 75 yards off the tee.  We hope there is nobody out at 200 yards.

The famed 13th in the background.  Don't try to approach this one from right of the green - the wall will really mess up a good round.  Every hole at North Berwick is distinctly memorable.  I had to plan my shots carefully on this course to stay out of trouble.
