Was originally booked to play the Castle Course on Sunday but it got cancelled due to cross region bans unfortunately. Managed to book Dumbarnie for mid May ?

Dumbarnie is class. You'll love it. Played there last July.

Will this change to the travel restrictions change the current silly rule re informal exercise?

Hope so. You can't get much more formal that booking onto a computer system 8 days in advance, adhering to strict rules whilst wearing clothes that meet stringent guidelines. Informal is a kick about in the park with your pals, not a game of golf.
Think they've made an absolute baws of that rule.

Scottish Golf have reached a new level of stupidity.
4 ball cross-border golf allowed but you can't play a cross-border competition. ???

I saw this earlier and couldn't believe it. They seem to be blaming the government. Either way whoever made this rule is an utter doughball.

So we can now play in 3s and 4s without any restrictions but those who live in another local authority can’t play in medals? ??
Total nonsense.

Doesn't cross border just mean between Scotland and England and not County to County
KenL

I read it as county border, but you may have a point as it is not crystal...
Edit...
Scot Gov are not "allowing" travel between England and Scotland until 26th. So cross-border must be council areas.
People who live in the likes of Eyemouth who shop in Berwick will, quite rightly, ignore that "rule".

It's not nonsense, the stay local rule is still in place and is being lifted early on Friday rather than the original 26th April. People who live in Perth and Kinross shouldn't be golfing in Fife for example. Its not the SGU's rule it's the governments

They can if the course is less than 5 miles over the boundary.
True
