Anyone up for Old Course ballot August 21 / 22?!

[Curls]

Hi folks,

The big 4-0 this year so the Mrs is treating me to a round at the Old Course. Will be in town on the 21st and staying for the 22nd so if anyone is up for going in the ballot as a 2 ball (I think that's the limit?) let me know, if we don't get a slot I'll do the dawn march to the first tee and wait in line.

Cheers all, Curls

Are you not too late for the ballot now?

I'm guessing he means the daily ballot?

 

[Curls]

Thanks both yeah the course is booked out all year from what I can see but if you're in a two-ball you can put in for a daily ballot which you hear about a day or two ahead of time afaik? If we didn't get picked it'd be line up as a single on one of the mornings.

Cheers

It is well worth the effort mate. As close as I will come to believing in a higher power when I was stood on that first tee box.

Good point, always forget about that one.

I think it was the only hole you didn’t hit a provisional on

You can enter two, three or 4 into the daily ballot.

Can’t help you out sorry, but I think you’ve just confirmed the plans for my 40th next year!

How much is it costing for the round if you get in the ballot ?

Full price, currently £180

Oh dear Lord, may have considered it if it was sensible but for that money I'd want a good course.

Yeah.....nobody in their right mind is going to pay £180 to play the most famous and historic golf course in the world in the middle of summer.

It’s a fantastic course and a magnificent experience!
