Golf Monthly Top 100 No. 1....... Turnberry March 2018

[richart]

Don't knock it Rich, it would put many many courses to shame.

Have seen Peter Finch play it, and it looked like a cracking course. Don’t think Mark was being complimentary about my golf standard though.:mmm:

There needs to be a heat wave in the west of Scotland, pretty sharpish!!

Chances of playing any golf between now and this event... none.

Chances of this event happening at all... well be have two weeks!!! phew!

The deep west coast got it lighter than the central belt and although I can't find any recent pictures of Turnberry im sure we'll be fine

This is todays the traffic camera of the A77 at Crossraguel which is 5 miles from Turnberry. The fields appear to have no snow

Do they have cameras at West Lancs, Silloth and Formby as well.

Although I currently can't get off the drive or out of the village! Snow half way up the side of the car!

Got to map layers and click the traffic camera and then move to the area you are looking for and click on the camera for the view(pops up in a new window)

This was the one closest to Formby I think I could find:-

All change due to us limping over the line against Rochdale. Newcastle game shoved back until April. Now playing Swansea on Sat 17.03 @ 12.15

Therefore, you can shove me & Jobr out anytime on Friday at Silloth, although we're bedding down in Manchester on Thurs so will up there early doors. Your call :thup:

Wouldn't mind an earlyish time at Turnberry on Sat, but not fussed either way. Cheers Glyn!

So are spurs playing the Friday night or Saturday.

I thought you wanted to go out early at Silloth to rush back for the game.

2 games in 2 days. I am impressed..

 

[Radbourne2010]

Played a Mid-Am event up there last spring time. Although Formby is a Top 40 course on GM list the Ladies course looked just as spectacular when we played around it.

I was only kidding Richard, although I haven't seen you in your skirt yet :rofl:

Good job you are not fussed about times for Saturday as I have done them all already

I looked after you with tee times for the Friday at Silloth

That’s what everyone else is thinking if they draw you

 

[Captainron]

It was a very scientific draw. Those who paid extra to play with/avoid someone had heated balls in the bucket. We also got the independent verifier smashed on jaegerbombs. Glynn then basically wrote up what he wanted. Easy

Having been snowed in for a couple of days, and looking at the not so good long range forecast for Ayr, currently saying snow a day or so before we go. We’re really looking forward to this and want to be optimistic, we realise that a lot can change in two weeks, but have to ask the question about what happens if the course is closed or travel is too difficult/ impossible due to the weather?

Weather forecast doesn't look bad at the moment isn't a problem according to this forecast?

 

[Captainron]

any snow will have melted with that forecast.

valid question given the last week, if Turnberry is shut for snow then I would guess we would be getting a refund.

If Turnberry is open but the roads 200 miles away are impassable then it’s goodwill from Turnberry.

at least the forecast is looking better but it’s always the risk I took booking it for March but going in the peak season was an eye watering price.
