Golfing Breaks

[Nick_Toye]

Thinking about bringing my friend over from Canada for a golfing break in Scotland.

Love to get on the Old Course, anyone ever done it? I'm expecting it to be pretty tough to do.

I know my Dad in the 70s played there several times.

I just think if your going to come all the way over from Canada to Scotland, you have to play it.

Played it a few times many years back. Its great playing there, but more for the traditions than the actual course itself imo. Definitely worth doing if you're making the trip over. Plenty of other great courses to play in the area too

As for getting on at St Andrews:

Maybe then doing Gleneagles, perhaps even going down to Celtic Manor, as I live in Wales could do a bit of a tour.

Where in Wales do you live fella? Im from Aberdare we could always meet up for a game.

If your going to Celtic Manor get a 2 fore 1 voucher and play the roman road cant fault that course for 15 each with a voucher.

I live North Wales. Hawarden at the moment.

Always open for a game.

I see in your sig your handicap is 'unofficial 28', you need an official handicap to get on the Old course. Plenty of other options for you though as none of the other courses in St Andrews require a handicap.

Just take him to the New or the Jubilee and tell him it's the Old Course.
He won't know any difference as all links courses look the same.

Just kidding

Yeah I would know though. I want to play there, and he would know. He's a golfing nut like me.

Ok, so I get a handicap. Considering joining a society, so I may be able to get one with that.
