Scotland Seven reunited

Four years later, this mixed bag of golfers regrouped last night to relive old times in the old country, where they encountered a half dozen of Scotland's most challenging venues, including Crail, Cruden Bay and the Old Course at St. Andrews. Much like the Scotch whisky on hand last night, stories of performances there had improved greatly with age.
Catalyst for the evening's reunion was Dan Martin's appearance back in Minnesota after moving to Oregon, where he has since retired and married. The couple is our house guest for the week.
Back row, above, are Rick Maxa, Johnny "Little Stix" Schatz, John Dovolos, PGA pro Tim Borem, and Stan Rolfsrud. Front, Martin in a Minnesota shirt and Kevin O'loughlin, who had to be seated in order to fit into Kathleen's photograph.
