Carnoustie Tomorrow

[FairwayDodger]

I'm off to play Carnoustie tomorrow.

Should be fun in the run up to the Open but I've got the dreads.... This course beats me up every time I play it, I've never broken 80 round there. Even happens when I'm in good form and confidence is high...... which is not the case at the moment!

Maybe going in with low expectations is the way to go!

You'll be fine, i'd imagine it'll be playing shortish, so bump and run will be the shot of the day, good luck and enjoy.ne:

Good luck FD. Remember, it’s a game that we play for fun so enjoy yourself.

I've played it twice. Last time about 3 years ago I was 3 over at the turn. Things went down hill from there including dropping 10 shots in the last 4 holes.

I respect the course but not a huge fan personally.

Great steak & gravy pie at the halfway house!

Play well FD

 

[Crazyface]

If it's playing as easy as my course at the moment, with bounce and miles of run, you should come in under par!!!!

Play well Karen, played it 3 weeks ago and was in great condition, the fairways are running at 10.5

 

[williamalex1]

Fingers crossed you miss the thunder and lightning storms, we're getting hammered by them just now at 4.45.

Absolutely no rain here in the Carse. In fact we've not had any rain for over six weeks. Everything is baked. I hate to say it, but we need rain!

A boy I played football with finished 13th as leading amateur.
Hope it went well today Karen.

Fair to say that Carnoustie battered me again despite the weather conditions being the easiest I can remember.... i didn’t even think I was playing badly but it’s a course that punishes anything offline. I was in 11 bunkers today including 3 different bunkers on one hole

It was fun playing with the grandstands but less fun with the narrowed fairways and thicker rough for the open.

I also managed to go OB on the 6th... with my second shot after lasering a great drive down Hogan’s Alley. Stupid game really.

One of the girls I played with had a great round going but dropped a couple of shots late on... still finished just 2 over - very impressive.

Highlights for me were few but had a couple of birdies, including the spectacles, and played the 18th well; good drive, solid approach to the middle of the green and two putts. Finished with a smile at least!

Second shot at 6 is no easy shot, often folk get lulled after making the fairway with their drive there.
