So - today was the day....... 11:30am at Turnhouse GC

all in all a mixed bag - started the day by watching the temperature on the gauge in the car plummet to 3* as I neared the course, that combined with the drizzy mist made for a brisk walk, interrupted by playing some shots

Like many before me my nicely tuned range swing went AWOL which resulted in my soft drawn mysteriously morphing into a soft fade, which was more than a little disconcerting!!!!

It was the first time that either of us had played the course so the mixture of blind tee shots, blind approaches (no strokesaver type cards, just the v basic hole number & length) and temp greens nowhere near the proper ones resulted in us both being overly conservative in our play, but overall..... I bogeyed every single hole with the exception of 2 holes where I a) found a big thorny bush for an unplayable lie and b) overclubbed an approach & flew a green over a wall into a farmers field OOB..... so am relatively pleased with the day FIR = 12 from 13 :) ..... GIR 2 :(

Looking forward to next weekend when we continue our audition process for a club to join this year

The main thing is though.... did you enjoy it? :). Where about in Edinburgh do you stay? There is quite a few good courses around so make sure you make the right choice :p

loved every last frustrating, slightly damp, minute of it thanks mate... I'm right down at Newhaven Harbour so am pretty much as far away as you can get from any course... I know - we tried to narrow it down to 3 initially to try & take it from there - Craigmillar Park next week
