[stevek1969]

Only played 6 new courses this season Waterville, Tralee, Dooks, Dingle Links, Tain and played Leven Links today in the winter league. I don't see what all the fuss about Leven Links is ,in my eyes it was ok nothing special.

Should have been 7 new ones as played Elie as well which was a cracking course, add in the old favourites Carnoustie Championship, Monfieth Medal,Panmure, Crail Balcomie and Downfield its been a not to bad a year i would say.

Seventeen for me this year:
Elland
Willow Valley championship course

Crosland Heath
Wath
Waterton Park
Castlefields
Woodhall Spa Bracken

Favourites have to be both Woodhall Spa courses, Howley Hall, Cookridge Hall and my new home course of Huddersfield Fixby. I enjoyed the others too, can't say there was a bad track amongst them.

It it would have been more, but bizarrely I didn't manage to play a single away friendly!

There must be either a lot of retired or a lot of divorced people on this forum. I think I played 7-8 courses this year. No fancy Dan ones. Favourite was Whitley Bay.

[IanG]

Not as many as many, but new ones for me were

Auchterarder
Carnoustie
Carnoustie Burnside
Crieff
Cruden Bay
Dunaverty
Harburn
Fairmont Kittocks
Kilspindie
Machrihanish
Machrihanish Dunes
Monifieth
Murcar
Musselburgh Old
Trump Aberdeen



plus repeat visits to

Baberton,
Goswick,
Mortonhall &
Ratho Park.



Best on-course experience - Carnoustie,
best value for money - Aucherarder,
best bacon roll - Trump Aberdeen,
best front 9 - Machrihanish,
Best Views - tie between Dunaverty & Cruden Bay
best 'bettering expectations' - Murcar.

I enjoyed the rest too - except Machrihanish Dunes which I found annoying - too may blind shots and stupid bounces, just give it a miss and play the wonderful original again if you go there.
