I have to admit I was rather jealous today when I saw the weather. Still I can't do them all.
Over a ton for one day I can't really justify sadly.

What a cracking day! Thanks for organising it Del, it was superb and you made a great host. Cheers to Andy for doing the driving, much appreciated mate. The course was absolutely stunning and a great test with some of the most deadly bunkers i have ever seen!
The lunch after was also superb and and well worth making the effort after the round

It was well worth it, superb organisation, course and day. Will take some beating as a day out for me!
Great golfing area and somewhere i will definately be returning to.

I fully intend to organise this again next year, so maybe we can extend it by a day and play another course or two the day before/after. :thup:

Couldn't have asked for it any better, thanks Del for organising and thanks Karen, Neil and Murray for the company and yes 5 and 4 was a nice win
Delighted with 36 points today despite feeling I didn't play particularly great, I just made fewer mistakes.
I will definately do this again however lack of holidays may stop me this year but 2014 for sure.

What can I say? An amazing day - the best course I've ever played and in absolutely glorious sunny conditions with no wind. Worth every penny. Just gutted I didn't break 80.... kicking myself over some of those three-putt greens!
Worth saying after all the talk about ladies at Muirfield that I was made to feel incredibly welcome. No issues whatsover and a few of the staff even went out of their way to chat to me and find out how I'd got on and if I'd enjoyed it.
Really enjoyed playing with Martin, Neil and Murray. (Nice win for me and Val.... 5&4 I think!
Thanks again to Derek for organising a truly superb day out!
:clap: :cheers: :thup:
Photos to follow.....

I have to say that it is although the Ailsa is brilliant too.

Its a cracking track mate, the greens were rock hard and running super fast! All the holes i thought were very interesting and lots of quirky parts like the wall in places and the ridiculous split 16th green! Im betting the 18th has made a fool of plenty of people too. Ive got some pictures to put up too which will be in the pictures section shortly.
Greg played it superb and had 37/38 points and i scrambled to about 30 somehow

I see you played off a selection of tees, do you get to choose or is it done based on handicap?
I'm playing there next week, hope we get the same weather as you guys got.

No, yellow on front, red on the back (or other way round). Karen played off the ladies tees

OK thanks, guess it's the type of place where you can't blag it and play off the back tees

Those today were as far back as they got but there was some boxes back bit with no tee markers.
It was long enough from where we were

cool....and the greens?
Val

Greens were great, fast but had a bit of sand. A day of rain and it will be as good as it gets. Green keepers have had sprinklers on already.

Have sent an e-mail to Muirfield this morning thanking them for their hospitality yesterday and also enquiring as to when the bookings for next year's winter rates open. :thup:
