I may well be up for another outing depending on likely dates. Landsdowne would get my vote late summer, it should be in great nick then.
Anything linksy would also be good at that time of year.
Just about two years ago since we had the first meet at Rosemount.....how time flies
big biffa, 18 holes enough as these things dont move fast on the course ! 36 would be a long day

Toad, can you get a price for Landsdowne please?
If its still £50 then I'm more than likely gonna have to bail out sadly. With loads of competitions this year and the GM Machrihanish + GM Castle Stuart weekend. Add in that the county is also back down at Machrihanish this year, and the county handicap at Machrihanish Dunes, I am already using more than my fair share of golfing days without adding another £80-£100 day out!
DIVORCE sounds great in theory but I'd miss the kids!!!

Edzell would be nice,heard great things of it.Played Downfield and Lansdowne and would go back without a doubt especaially Downfield.
Any chance you can get us on the new one at Gleneagles if it is open by summer Toad....tell them we will put in a fantastic review for GM to cover as long as they let us on for under £40...I am sure the fella that is building it will be crying out for the cash/publicity!!

Yes, however that was a winter rate, not the height of summer in the tourist/visiting parties free for all season.

I will speak to Blairgowrie tomorrow and see if we can get a good deal.
Alan re the new course next to Gleneagles we have no chance of getting on as it is only for the guests of some sheikh.

And there was me thinking auld Sheikh McMahamod would be needing our cash due to him being down to his last few pence.

Any ideas for dates? Will have to wait and see if I can make it. Also distance to travel will be an issue unless I make an overnighter of it and get 2 games in.

End of August suits ,if Toad can get a deal for Blairgowrie then that would be my choice.
Drumoig has some nice holes granted but its " the clubhouse" that lets it down.

Will it be midweek or weekend?If its midweek after the schools go back then I afraid I wont be able to make it, as I will hopefully be teaching by then.
Maybe just have to organise something on the west coast a bit earlier in the year. Watch this space.

Is this a Scottish Open in the sense it is going to be held in Scotland and/or you have to be Scottish to play in it or can anyone play?

Guys,
I spoke to secretary at Blairgowrie today and have a price for Landsdowne £35 with bacon roll for midweek and £45 weekend depending on numbers.
He said he would look at the figures again if we have over 20 bodies.
