The Scotland squad's golfing adventure in Florida was cut short by a thunderstorm, leaving some players disappointed and others relieved. The team had arrived in Florida on Sunday and had a light session on Monday to loosen up their muscles and recover from their flight from Glasgow. However, the real highlight of their trip was supposed to be a round of golf at the PGA National course, which is considered one of the best in the world.
It's one of the most important parts of any international camp. After arriving in Florida on Sunday, the Scotland squad had a light session on Monday in the blistering heat and humidity to loosen up the muscles and recover following their flight from Glasgow.
While that was key, it wasn't anywhere near as important as heading to one of the best courses around - the PGA National - for a round. Highly anticipated, highly competitive and an ultimately highly disappointing end made for an interesting afternoon. Play was well under way, and going fairly well for most - not Findlay Curtis and partner George Hirst, the less said on that the better it appears - before the fluctuating Florida weather wreaked havoc.
The players were on, off, on and off again for good as an almighty thunderstorm - which actually diverted our flight into Miami on Monday - brought proceedings to an abrupt end. For some, it was a get out of free jail card - looking at you, Findlay and George - while seasoned campaigner and assistant coach Steven Naismith was not so pleased, apparently.
Jack Hendry was partnered with Andrew Smith, one of the team's masseurs, and the defender admitted he would have a sore back from carrying him.
