Badenoch (36 hole) Open Championship (Men) - Sunday 10th July

[thecraw]

As per the above, is anyone interested in entering the Badenoch Open. Its a 36 hole Open played over Kingussie and Newtonmore Golf Courses on the same day.

Both are lovely courses which offer a decent test of golf set amongst some of the best views Scotland has to offer.

Algar5, Stevek1969 and myself have all talked about playing and was wondering if any of the Scottish based forumers wanted to make a day of it?

Bunkers? Andy? Patrick? Have a little competition amongst ourselves!

 

[Bunkers]

I'd need to check my oncall rota (not out until April), but i'm in if available. Will confirm when i find out with work etc

 

[thecraw]

I'm sure you'll have a "tummy bug" that day!

I'm a possibly for this, but I'll have to check if it clashes with anything else that day. I work the local newspaper group and we usually do a golf calendar at the end of March that has all the opens for up here and is goes in the papers at the end of march. I'll need to check that first, I was going to do it last year but it clashed with another open

Can hackers such as myself enter this or do you have to be below a certain handicap level to play?

 

[thecraw]

I think it stipulates no one from Edinburgh area!


Other than that I'm sure your more than welcome, more the merrier in my opinion.

Can't make that date but would thoroughly recommend Kingussie. The views are spectacular and it has some great holes. Newtonmore is also a decent track.

Good luck to those lucky enough to go.

10th of July seemed to trigger something off in my head. Sounds a familiar date but just could be getting confused with the 12th July

Will ask the good lady for permission.

How quickly does the entry list usually fill up?

 

[thecraw]

No idea Stuart.

However if for instance there are 9 of us wanting to go then in theory its only three tee times.

I'll email them.
