Haddington Golf Club

[musselburghgolfclub]

Hi heading to Haddington GC, East Lothian, Scotland next week because my home club are holding a district championships. But they booked times at other courses this being the course for my desired time (Saturday Afternoon). Just asking for any hints or tips on certain holes eg. big slopes, good aiming points.

Never played it. Been to the town as my mate Fish lives there and had a few jars in the Tynecastle pub (great food too)

I grew up in haddington, lived there for 20 years or so.

Played the course the other week, was in great nick actually, made a lot of changes from when i was a kid.

Not many "secrets" to it, you can pretty much see everything in front of you really. I enjoyed it.

Homer - used to play charity footy matches with fish (derek right?), quite a sight on the pitch!! Tyneside is good aswell, used to live opposite the sports centre up the road from there.

Yep, the one and only Derek Dick. Have to say I love the Tynecastle. Great food in there and a real friendly welcome. Fish puts on a fans convention every couple of years and so I go up and watch the gigs and chill with other fans of his stuff. Great little place to visit

They have changed the layout of it recently but have an acquaintance who plays there who says it is in good nick.Not a long course where position is a key and should you hit it straight you will get many birdie chances.

It's not the Tynecastle by the way Homer it's the Tyneside Tavern......was there recently as the fella who is in it is a big player in the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal and our paths crossed recentky.....great boozer all the same.

Ha ha was in the Tynesdie tavern for lunch week before last as I work in Haddington. They do some nice ales in there.
Have not played the course or seen Fish unfortunately...

Real to Reel is a terific live album, played it a lot circa 1985.

You are quite right but being near Edinburgh my mind instantly goes towards Hearts (hence Tynecastle) especially as Fish is a Hibbie
