How deep???

[Bobirdie]

Is your rough?





Ours is getting ridiculous lol
Wish they would put the tractor through the lot of it.

Nice views right enough to admire when your card is ripped up

This is our 195yard par 3 3rd. Usually into a wind.

Whinhill or Greenock? Guessing Whinhill? Either way I saw your place a month or two back when Mrs and I walked the Greenock Cut. Your rough is rather like ours - though ours has thinned out a bit as the weather has been sunnier and warmer in Surrey than in Inverclyde - our heather is a nightmare mind.

Skelmorlie bud.
Whinhill is wide open lol.
I stay right beside it. Nice wee course greens are always in pretty good nick

Hahaha that was why I split the headline into the post. I was singing the song in my head typing it.

Move back to Largs Bob, you know it makes sense 😁

 

[Bobirdie]

Hopefully back down next year bud. Tempted with the winter offer they have on the now. Miss the megabucks most though 😂

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Knee high in places. A few are in the driving (slicing) zone but others are where balls shouldn't be. Either way it's a reload and good luck if you find it.

Ah - looked like the view you get from the Greenock Cut.

 

[patricks148]

regrettably far worse than that, waste high in most parts. they have just bought some fancy mower that picks up and scarifies the lush stuff.

That looks like the rough at Baildon. IMO It makes the course look amazing - just not so amazing when your trying to find your ball or play out from it!!

I'll try remember to take a pic of our course on Sat morning.

 

[Farmergeddon]

Skelmorlie? is that the place with 14 holes and you play 4 holes around a quarry twice???

 

[duncan mackie]

I seem to remember being advised many years ago that 'too deep' meant you had to search for your bag if you put it down...

Better now, but this is what it was in June and July:



... brutal...

Whinhill, that takes me back - 13 years old, walking up , and up, and up, to the course from near the West station, clubs clattering and golf shoes in the bag. What a trek - but when you're young and have no choice you don't think about it. Happy days.

Always easier on the way back as you had many fewer golf balls to carry!

 

[Bobirdie]

Yeah that was a long time ago.
Got made a 18 hole around 20 years ago

I think this is 'too deep' by that definition!

Had a couple of weeks a month or so ago where rough meant un-findable, let alone unplayable. Went into one of those areas the weekend after it had been trimmed and found more than a dozen balls before finding mine (of course, 20 yards shorter than i'd been looking!)!

Me too! Used to get the train up from Fort Matilda. Can't remember how many times I drove over the hill on the 3rd never to find my ball then having to buy it back for 10p from some little scally with an older 'minder' further round the course :angry:

I reckon the 14th was the hardest hole in Scotland back then or so it seemed

 

[drdel]

Was quite long but now its had a shave in many places so its not only impossible to find your ball if it should run under the long cuttings or the 'hay' wraps around the club so there's little or no chance of getting it out.

At least before cutting, if you found it you could probable give it a good wallop and find the short stuff.

I feel sorry for the GKs who have to try to keep us all happy!

The first 2 times I played the 14th I knocked 5 iron stiff both times. Played the course a good few times since then and haven't hit the green lol. Tough hole!
