Edinburgh/West Lothian

[wrighty1874]

Nip down the road to West Linton. That should be ok.

Ok, looking to potentially play Whitekirk on 4th January, cost of a four-ball is £50 so £12.50 a skull if interested through Teeofftimes.co.uk. Tee-off probably about half-9am/10am.

Also considering Kirkcaldy on 30th Dec, £15 a skull.. same tee window.

Peebles is looking decidedly dodgy (waterlogged atm), so open to alternatives and offers.

A guy at my work is a member at West Linton and he said their course was flooded in the same way as Peebles. The borders have been pretty badly skelped by the weather in recent weeks, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Have you considered Lundin Links? £25 a head inc 2 filled rolls and a bowl of soup. Fairway mats are on though.

Being from West Lothian originally, I often go down there for a game at weekends, in fact I'm just about to head off there to play Longniddry. I would avoid all of the inland courses at the moment and head to the links of East Lothian. Courses such as Gullane #2 & #3 are always in good condition at this time of year and not expensive. The Glen at North Berwick is also in fantastic nick and slightly further afield, Dunbar is good too, as are most of the links courses in Fife.
One of the guys I play with is a member at West Linton and he told me it is a quagmire.

The Glen had a tough summer and was in poor nick in September, I'm unsure what its like now but I wouldn't be hopefull.

A couple of friends who play off single figures and are extremely fussy, played The Glen a couple of weeks ago and reported that it was in superb condition.

Still looking at this date and course, although tee-time more likely 11am onwards, as will need to drop wife off at work first.

I'm probably going to head down to Peebles, for all it'll be wet, on either Saturday/Sunday.. welcome to come along.

Heading to Peebles on Sunday, probably for 1030am tee, if anyone wants to join me? Course will be wet, playing 3 temporary greens but no mats in play as far as I know.

Guess not... might not bother heading down on my own.
