Looks like a cracking course - and seems a good time had by all who attended. As seems to be the case at all events attended by forummers. There's a theme there...

All I can do is echo what everyone else has said. Ackerhusrt, your mad, but mad is good. Alec, what a man and a good laugh, stevek1969 and his porn star shoes and gimp golf bag, Patrick great to meet you and a pleasure to play golf with you. Clarkie and Alastair from Clarks Bar superb guys and what fun in the frozen tundra of Spey Valley. Also Mike and Gerry on Saturday at CS, great golf great fun great course.
Algar5 thanks for the taxi service.
That's my selection of photographs from Castle Stuart, pretty similar to John's to be perfectly honest.

It's all been said already. It was an absolutely magnificent weekend.
Huge thanks from me to all at GM, John Findlay for arranging Nairn and Spey Valley and Smiffy for arranging Boat Of Garten.
Great to put faces to the names on the forum.
Superb!!

Apologies in advance, a couple of these were taken with my iphone during the round.
Oh and the toilets were pretty swish, just like the rest of the building.

You took a picture of the toilets? Perhaps you should get out a bit more!
I think you are right, they were rather posh though.

Great photo Brendy -one for the scrapbook!
Although not overly difficult in the windless conditions we had, this little hole I thought one of the most memorable on the course. Visually it's a as nice a golf hole as I've played I believe. Would quite happily have stopped for a picnic at that point just to admire the view.
I cannily pulled an 8 iron onto the bump at the left and got a nice run down toward the flag for an easy par 3.
Craw,fantastic pic's....I want to go back,now!!
That hole and the first, the only two real disasters I had on my card. Tweaked it ever so slightly left and never found it.
CS is probably one of the few courses I would actually consider relocating for!

Anyone wanting to buy 4 Provees…………
Did you find any with two black dots, they were mine.
Still only lost 6 over the 4 rounds.

It's been said already by all the previous posters, but it would be remiss not to add my own thanks and congratulations to all who had input to the organisation of a trip that will live long in the memory.
Four different courses in four days with each played under different weather conditions - what a fantastic introduction to links golf!
Special thanks to John Findlay, Smiffy and the Golf Monthly staff for their input; Alan, Steve and Ryan under testing conditions at Spey Valley; Fergus (man he hits the bloody thing!), John and Simon at Castle Stuart; Steve and Stuart at Nairn; Patrick, Anthony and Rob at Boat of Garten; and all of the Clarks Bar crew throughout the weekend all of whom contributed to the memories.
In summary; the best golfing experience imaginable played with cracking company, too much beer and not enough sleep I wanna go back!!!!
And of course the 'Road Trip' crew of Dave (Vig), Anthony (Forforetheday), Chris 'min'(Grumpyjock), Smiffy, Ray and Steve - cheers guys!

Not that one at 15 you oh so nearly twated twice by any chance? If so put me down for a weekend!
Still think your idea of locking ourselves in the lockers and playing at daybreak Sunday morning before any staff arrived was the best plan!
