Where's Tumbridge Wells??

I live near Tunbridge Wells.. :lol:

 

[Scadge]

Disgusted from Solihull also doesn't like it- started post on R&A bias - should learn about demographics. Great course though:thup:

Tumbridge Wells is in Kemt.

Doon, playing the Old on Monday - any tips apart from stay out of the bundu?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

The old what ?

 

[ADB]

Course of course

 

[Farneyman]

Will take a wee walk over to that to see what all the fuss is about, what are the dates so I can pencil it in...

Has it lost its 'Royal' status?

Great Thai Food was available when I worked there though - that was the reason I chose it over a couple of other offers (including lunchtime golf on simulator!)!

When Independence day comes along, will England (plus Wales/N Ireland/isle of Man/isle of Wight get 91% of the Open rota ...

Castletown and Freshwater would make fantastic replacements for Muirfield and somewhere else

I have not played the Old Course. [nor have I any desire to.]
For me the 'Home of Golf' thing is just a pile of Poo.

I hope you enjoy the experience. It is a hookers paradise with loads of room. If it is windy lots of knock down half shots and don't be embarrassed to putt from 30 yards short of the green.
A caddy is always a recomendation for a course with so many blind shots. Share one [with a big tip] if you are in a group.

Freshwater Bay on the Isle of Wight would be a good call.
Much better than some of the other courses named.
My father in law nearly bought the lease from the NT in 1970.

Why would a Scottish organising body send it out of an Independent Scotland ? They'll all be held up here after that happens

i have no idea whatsoever, but it sounds like as good an excuse for a heated friendly debate as any

PS - It is not Scottish - it is European, or at least the Royal surely refers to a royal Union ... he he he (what do i know ?)

The Old Course at Troon, not St A's. Hence why I posted in this thread - confused dot com!

Quite right, only people who call it the British Open are yanks...its The Open Championship and lets face it it's Scottish, you're lucky we let Westwood, Donald et all play in it!!
