5 years ago today I went to Scotland by myself.

1/9
I paid for a room in a bed and breakfast with 4 beds bc it was the only one left walking distance to the Old Course at St. Andrews.

2/9
I obviously got my money’s worth and slept in a different bed every night.

3/9
I got to the Old Course at 5am and was #23 in line. I waited 7.5 hours, drank 4 Guinness and bought hundreds of dollars worth of St. Andrews gear.

4/9
At 12:30pm I got a tap on the shoulder, “you’re up”.

5/9
I’ve never felt this weird combo of pure joy and nervousness at the same time. Everyone I met there was on cloud 9 too... you could taste the joy in the air.

6/9
Almost in the zone immediately, I hit every shot my caddie asked of me and ended up posting a 75. A career best for me at that time.

7/9
I ended the day having more Guinness with a big group of strangers and quickly realized that the city of St. Andrews is my fav place on earth.

8/9
I can’t wait for the day I can go back.

9/9
