2 years later is mad...

Let's see your entries, did anyone here get lucky this year around?

Obviously different for Americans but for us brits not used to tipping, any idea what’s acceptable for the old course caddies if I do somehow get in and max the credit card haha

I mean I called up St Andrews this morning to book ahead the Eden for tomorrow and got told there’s no tee times until past 5pm. Never had this issue any other year so looks like my decisions are being made for me

Oh really, I'm not staying too far from them so was contemplating a twilight (past 5pm) on the torrance for £70 which seemed like decent value

Looks like Sunday is a complete washout anyway with 45mph gusts so might be limited to just the Thursday, Friday and Saturday

There's a singles daily draw ballot - https://standrews.com/singles_daily_draw

Played the Ashludie course a few years back but not the medal. I think the offer is only weekdays so might be a stretch tomorrow being over the bridge but definitely worth a shout. Panmure was another I'd looked at, but just didn't really know too much about. Was also looking at Lundin too

With the St Andrews 3-day unlimited pass discontinued, I’ve been reworking my plans for the upcoming bank holiday (22–26 May). I’m heading up from the Midlands as a single golfer (with the missus who's walking the courses) and aiming to get a round a day in on Thursday to Sunday (leaving Monday...

Is it playing massively different from all the times he won here?

I mean at £195 it's still steep for Burnham & Berrow that, I'd argue at that price myself and a lot of the domestic market are still priced out

Using St Annes as the example, they used to get overlooked when people would come and play Royal Liverpool, Royal Lytham etc. due to it being £80. And they've actively seen more international and largely American visitors since putting it up to £140... Pennard and the like, not a clue.

Fair point and absolutely silly, seeing Pennard at £155 is wild. As soon as I see that golfworking website I know the green fee is over £100 haha. We know though with inflation, once it goes up it's not coming back down again. So if anything, it's just going to get more expensive, just slower.

Yup we're 100% there. For the average UK golfer it's ridiculous. Even over the past 4-5 years, everything has skyrocketed and even when income has increased, it isn't as much as the bills are... I remember reading this from ukgolfguy, where he says visitor play at the top end is now almost...

My home club is literally round the corner so I know how boggy it can get
