GM East Lothian Links Tournament - March 2014 - expressions of interest??

[BrizoH71]

In, so long as it doesn't clash with Cheltenham.

Sounds great this Del, all depends on dates (wedding ann. is 15th and I'm not that brave :lol , but if it fits, time off won't be a problem.
Just what me and Birchy spoke about, 2nts, 4 rounds.

 

[Birchy]

I think dates wise it will be first or second week in March as Murifield change over price brackets half way through march. Its likely to be 2,3,4th of march or 9,10,11th as an early estimate.

 

[SimonS]

I'm in. Kilspindie and Gullane are on my 'must play' list.

 

[Colin L]

Del
I've just re-read your outline of the event and see that it might be possible to opt in to fewer than the 4 games. On that basis, I would be interested in three rounds, missing out Craigielaw or Kilspindie on Day 2.

I don't as yet know what my skiing plans will be for next season but early March for the golf could fit in well. (And yes, I do realise the apparent contradiction between talking of not having the stamina for 4 rounds of golf in 3 days and of going off skiing for 6 consecutive days. But it's different.)

Hi Del was doing a bit of lurking when i saw this i'd be interested in a day out at Muirfield if my shifts work out ,looks like you had top day there.

 

[thecraw]

Aye right. We'll see! :blah:

Machrihanish is finished. Unless someone else wants to take it on. Too many time wasters.

Didn't want to stand on anyone's toes, Crawford, but saw that you'd said this years Machrihanish trip would be the last so figured we were OK to try and organise this for March next year. You coming along?

 

[thecraw]

Probably not Del. Think I'm going to go to Ireland next year. Quite fancy the Ballyliffen trip and take in a couple of other tracks while there.if there's a Muirfield only option I'd consider that.

You'd love Ballyliffen mate both really good tracks,can't rate them highly enough.

There will be! Watch this space.

Been wanting to go to a forum meet but due to my location travelling costs have always been a bit of issue, this gives me time to put some cash aside. So stick me down for a place please.

Ireland you say hmmmmmm, that's interesting. Family or golf trip?

Golf golf and more golf.

We need a chat on this sometime, an Irish trip is appealing I have to say.

Del Boy my son....Rodney is IN!!

I had the pleasure of playing at Dunbar today in absolutely honking conditions and loved it. Great track and one that I had been misled on by a couple of reports.

It is flat but it is a fantastic layout and the greens were in tip top condition. They were even better than Bogside which I also thought were excellent for the time of year. Its a straight out straight back type of links on a narrow strip of land. Quite like West Kilbride but much better.

Also loved watching bomber struggle to hit fairways 200 yards wide!!! In fact we ended up having to play one of Bombers drives off the dunes (well, more like nipples but big for east coast links!) at 17 in case he couldn't hit the 18th!! We were a couple of inches away from the beach!

Hickory will no doubt back this 100% true and accurate account up.

Certainly consider adding this to your itinerary.

Sounds like a good few days of golf to me Del, I will throw my name in the hat too.
