After the dampness of the previous day, the sun breaks out over Nairn Dunbar. A healthy "Highlander" breakfast, including haggis, sets up the boys for an assault on Nairn's second course, a pleasant heathland layout. 

However, the sunny mood is suddenly threatened as Tate nobbles his opening drive due left into gorse bushes and follows up with a remarkably similar shot with the "provo". It might be a long day - and for some, so it proves.

Tate is accompanied by Nance and DJ leaving Guido, Bainey, Fat-Boy and Mr. Grumpy to bring up the rear. All round it's not a bad day on the scoring front. For the only time on tour DJ manages to juxtapose his ball between the putter and the hole and accrues 40 points, followed by Nance and Mr. Grumpy on 39. Nance's score is not aided by the loss of two brand new TaylorMade taters with consecutive blows on the 5th hole. The gorse is pretty, but punishing.

At the well-earned soup and tuna mayo sarnies discussions turn to Nairn proper, the 2003 Walker Cup venue where Casey and Donald first sprang to collective consciousness. Off in a shot, Tate returns with the joyous news that he's booked 2 tee times for three-thirty. Mr. Grumpy, Guido, Bainey and Fat-Boy receive the news with about as much enthusiasm as they would a dose of clap and so it's left to Nance, DJ and Tate to hare off for another 18. The remaining 4 head for the Glen Mhor for a restorative stroll along the river, a shower and then 6 pints of Guinness in Johnny Foxes.

During this session their attention is particularly focussed on a girl who, despite many other attractions, seems to have a nose and chin which, in profile, give her the aspect of a tin-opener.

Joined finally by the other 3, the Muffins head for the "Eyetie" across the Ness during which Tate receives his meal approx 30 mins behind everyone else. This is to become a recurring feature.
