Really feel for your hear major pain in the backside.
No problem for me still in.
Did you mention a minibus from Woodhall, if this is happening and there is space would be great to nab a seat.

Any one who bails out because we need to use mats is an idiot in my opinion.

I'm a proper golfer who clips and caresses a golf ball, so I'm still in.
Very poor form whoever complained.
To re-iterate what Glyn said, if your cancelling please do so via PM and not via this thread.:thup:

Don't worry about it m8 playing the ailsa is an unique experience, everyone should be considering themself lucky to have the chance Mats are a pain but for the 2 or 3 fairways I actually hit I'm sure I'll get over it

I can hit "thins" all day long!
Regarding the food.....
I have been in contact with a few local establishments and Wildings Hotel & Restaurant which is 1.4 miles from the course is happy to accommodate all of us if needed on Saturday night but also happy to take any number of us for those that wish to have a more substantial meal.
Wildings has some excellent reviews and for £25.95 for a 3 course menu which has a substantial greater choice than Turnberry, comes across as great value by comparison.
They have 2 large dining rooms and for those that prefer this choice, they will make up tables of 8-10 to accommodate the number wanting to dine there.
Wildings website is HERE
3 course Menu can be found HERE
In addition to the linked menu there is always a good selection of Chefs Specials and a substantial array of sweets.
Sweet Menu HERE
I think what I will do this afternoon when I chase up a couple of other places I spoke to, will be to put up a poll to get a rough idea of split numbers for those wanting a local curry, staying at Turnberry, going to the chippy/own roaming, or Wildings.

Understand the frustration. Personally I can't wait to play this amazing course with some fantastic people! I'm not bothered about looking at my feet, i'll be looking out over the stunning scenery, sweeping fairways, monster dunes and thinking what a lucky boy I am!!! Can't wait!

I certainly hope the comp is now off 7/8ths......

Can we have a 'local GM rule', no using your driver off the mats, if you wouldn't use your driver normally, then don't just because of a mat!
I hate seeing the old un's teeing up the ball on a mat and using a driver, it's almost tantamount to cheating imo!!

Cheers Fish.
Much appreciated.
After getting so annoyed with Turnberry I wont be booking the restaurant at the main Hotel
I think we will have a 17 seater minibus so I am sure we can do a few runs to the restaurant to give lifts etc if people want a drink.
There is now a poll up to give me a rough idea of numbers, as it says, it's not set in stone, I just need to get a general idea of the split people are wanting.
If your bringing a +1 then I will be assuming your partner/friend will be the same choice.
Poll HERE
Thank you

Can’t say I’ve ever played a course that’s stipulated mats.
If im correct it’s only a case of using them when on the fairway right?
if so, count me in still. I doubt I’ll be on many so won’t affect my round at all.

Glyn... I can well understand that you won't have asked about their type of mat
.... however if these are the mats that Turnberry use then the 'Mat-haters' have little to fear as the hitting experience & convenience of use are just brilliant, both on the fairway & off the tee. I'll certainly be taking mine along as we have them in optional use at our place & I'd hit off them all day long... even I get heaps of spin when punching low balls into the green, which I think we may well be doing a lot of in March.

I personally don't like the look of those, I'd prefer just the old slither of astro turf or similar flat style mat. I can't see how you can address the ball and strike it naturally on a fairway if its positioned higher than ground level and the ball sat in a location hole?
I caress my balls anyway so I won't need anything artificial

I’ll add a further take. The assumption is may off the fairway or drop in the first cut? This won’t detract from the experience of Turnberry for the majority anyway as most of you won’t hit many fairways anyway.
