Tart....
Quick scran and a gutload of booze in a ropey old inn. Dodgy barmaid being chatted up by Stuey. Getting lost on the way back. Tucking into bed 3 hours before yer tee time. Bliss.

7.00 meal, 2 in the bar, back down to the villas, load of cans, nuts, games of cards, sing-a-long, disco, midnight putting comp.

Scrabble, buck-a-roo and lashings and lashings of Ginger beer for Glyn and Capt ron.;)

Is a Gravalax some sort of Ayrshire squirrel?:mmm:

Looking at the above and the menus, can only say wow to the prices but does look superb, people who dine here must move in different circles to me.

Being frank, not sure this early what we will do, but more likely will probably go for a drive around the area, maybe a nice walk somewhere(depending on timings/daylight permitting) and hopefully find something locally to eat in a quiet place and on a quiet table away from the noisy crowd :ears: (or take away chips back to the room and some cards, love playing 9 card brag or like)

However if you need a minimum number and short of people, then we would be willing to go with the flow and make up the numbers, if that helps, as you only live once and the menu does look interesting.

Hotel, it would be private dining.

I shall get the room name tomorrow and I shall also find out the minimum numbers required to have the 2 course meal.

Glyn, although my first choice is just to get takeaway or something I'm not hugely bothered either way so can be flexible, especially if it means making up the numbers to make the meal viable.

The thought of 70+ people tipping into Maidens or Girvan looking for grub is quite funny if im honest. Maidens probably doesnt get this amount in a month

Just send Peter into Girvan for 70 bags of chips, that should do the trick :D

I'm good with Turnberry.

But whatever, I'm not fussy. I do think it'll be a struggle to find good alternatives nearby though!

Major headache time.


I have had several conversations with Turnberry since Friday last week, they have had a complaint from someone else looking to book the Ailsa course that day that we are not using the mats and they are having too! Thanks to the person on the forum who did that as we really appreciate that!


So Turnberry have contacted me and we are now going to have to use the mats. Like I say I have had several conversations with them and they are saying that the mats will not take away any of the experience of playing the Ailsa course, they are only to be used when you think that you may take a divot, so you can decide if you are going to take a divot or not, I shall be using my discretion very carefully that day!

Please note the Robert the Bruce course has no mats.

They are really stressing that the mats wont take away any enjoyment but everyone has their own opinion so I am giving everyone options.

Now if you want to cancel then we have no problem at all, it was an original £20 per person non refundable deposit and that still stands, anything more you have paid will be refunded in full.

It does make you wonder why you invest hours and hours into forum meets to be only let down by someone who isn't even going to come on the meet.

If you want to cancel then send me a PM or an email.

If you are happy to carry on then please add positivity to the thread.


Thanks, a very annoyed LQ.
