Hirsel Golf Club

[Dodger]

Are you sure Dodger? If it's the course I'm thinking of, it was definitely an 18 holer. Had a really nice short par 3 off an elevated tee with what I think was a stream in front of the green. I'm sure it was the Hirsel we played. Is there another course in or near Coldstream I could be getting confused with? The 18th hole started fairly flat and then swept downhill and to the left towards the clubhouse if memory serves me right?

Sounds like it would have been The Hirsel Smiffy but the 18th as you describe it would have been the 9th hole in 91 as it was not extended to 18 until mid 1994.The par 3 you describe would have been the old 7th or the 10th as it is now and the clubhouse in 91 would have been a shed in comparison to what stands there now.

Jeez..

How long do you reckon until you're open again Dodge....?

Bloody hell Dodger, our place has a couple of puddles on the course, yours looks like a lake with the occasional island for the ducks...

The river has this afternoon gone back within it's banks but been damage done to bunkers on 10 and the 2nd tee has received a fair bit of damage.

41mm in 10 hours.

Wednesday at the earliest I would say but the lads will be busy rallying around to try and get it open ASAP while I battle it out with the bloody insurers!

Jeez Dodger, any more rain this week and im not gonna get a game next weekend.

Might have to leave it til end of the following week, which will probably suit my plans better anyway.

Fingers crossed we get a dry spell

Phew! Thought the 4th might get hammered again.
Was worried about your office too, I know how much you rely on the pc (and mags) to get you through the day :lol:
