any in terest in a forum "scottish"open?

Auchterarder is £3o, Mon-Thurs, which is good value.

Downfield is £55, which is steep when you add in traveling, food drink etc.

Crieff, £33.

Blairgowrie Landsdowne £50, Rosemount, £70 (TOO RICH FOR ME!)

Pitlochry £30

Alyth £30

For me I would prefer something like Auchterarder, Crieff, Alyth or Pitlochry. £30-£40 max as by the time you add in diesel, food, a round of drinks etc it fairly adds up!

I've got two weans you know!

 

[DelB]

All very valid points, Crawford.

Are we talking about a weekend round or a midweek round? For the record, I can do either.

 

[thecraw]

Midweek at Muckhart worked well as we had the course to ourselves!

I'm easy however Midweek is probably easier for me to get time off work if I'm not already off! I can see a vote comming!

 

[DelB]

My thinking exactly - cheaper through the week and much quieter on the course too.

Hi all
What about Piperdam, just outside Perth and Dundee.
Depending on the dates Im up for a meet.

 

[stevek1969]

One word for that place "DUMP" would play there if I was paid , honestly, the first 9 you climb away up then come back down and play round the loch, granted the 10 th is a good hole , IMO . We good pick a better course than that. Remember we got Muckhart for £10 so a mention of GM might get a deal, if ok with MikeH.

Was rather hoping that we could count on your superb negotiating skills, Steve!

 

[Steviebhoy]

Well I’ll be up for any time to play and anywhere!

Not really played that many courses so don’t know what’s good and what’s bad so willing to go with the majority.

Would be my first GM golf day out so looking forward to meeting and putting faces to names and getting to know some of you better

Mate of mine who not on the forum is interested in this would it be ok to include him in this?

 

[IM01]

I will register an interest,have a few days away in Portugal so will wait and see where and when 1st.

 

[Dodger]

I would too be interested as long as it wasn't clashing dates wise or at a course that 'wasn't very good'.

 

[Screwback]

I would like to add my name to the ever growing list if possible.

 

[StuartD]

Better late than never.

Count me in

 

[Toad]

I would be up for it, would recommend Aylth played it many times and it is a cracking course.

Auchterarder is short but is a nice layout with good views.

Downfield is quality would play it any day.

Crieff is ok but wide open.

but happy to play anywhere and have no problem with dates.

 

[bigbiffa]

muckhart looking favourite!

 

[bigbiffa]

what im thinking is a 36 hole stableford contest.....opinions?

 

[birdieman]

Downfield sounds ok for a lonely northener like me, could get there in an hour and a half. Just google mapped it, looks good, must've driven past it dozens of times but never seen it.

Blairgowrie even better, can get there in an hour (with a tailwind) - could tackle the other course this time, Lansdowne I think its called, in its summer finery this time!

 

[Toad]

Stuart,

great idea Landsdowne is a tougher test than the Rosemount and I'm pretty sure I could get us a good deal again depending on the numbers.

 

[centuryg5]

I will express an interest.dependant on dates,will take a few days hols and come savour a bit of Scottish hospitality.

 

[thecraw]

A wee bit further North, totally forgot about the wonderful course that is Edzell.

The pro there is excellent, very friendly, might even be a package price is we negotiated!

 

[stevek1969]

Edzells a great course, yes its further north but worth the drive for most guys, nice clubhouse as well , well worth a visit.
Are we going for a weekend day or during the week?
Its hard to choose are we having a vote or is Bigbiffa picking, alot of interest shown which is good, what about Fife some cracking courses there.
