I've been in Scotland for the better part of June and it's been a crazy experience. To add to all those experiences, I got to tour St Andrews Links! It was an amazing time touring the grounds of the Old Course and the rest of the St Andrews facility.  The biggest surprise during my time there is how much golf they fit into such a small space!  The tee boxes are just a few paces off of the greens, of which several holes share.  Something that was quite surprising, that I didn't realize from TV was that there are SEVEN shared greens and all of the hole numbers add up to 18 (2&16, 5&13, etc).
