A google search suggests it was scheduled to be on the Championship course last year so I'd guess so.

You've got me trawling through Golf Empire now
Went out at 10 for 10 this morning, first drive was hooked straight into the bushes, thinned my third and managed to escape the 1st with a double bogey 6.
At this point I'm thinking I better phone Martin to get a lesson!!
After that though, played superb, driving was excellent and my 3 wood was on fire, 5 pars and 4 bogeys, unreal for me to play as well as that, although 2 holes were winter greens still.
Have definitely got the buzz back to be out playing again.
Back out tomorrow at Fortrose.

36 points today to increase my lead in the winter competition by 1, so that’s 8 points more than second place.
Chipping was awful today cost me a good few shots, won our match though.

Breezy out there today, had a game at the Kings, hope its not as windy as today for you out at Fortrose tomorrow
You’re not wrong there, was really windy today, hoping it’s a bit calmer tomorrow ?

First proper game on almost full length course off white tees at Dunbar, mats off now too. Warm but blowing a hooley, won 4 ball match 3 & 1, 32 points (despite only scoring 3 points on the last 4 holes) currently leading 12 man sweep with 4 still to finish

Finished 2nd to winner with 34 points, £7 + £4 for 4 ball match better than nothing !
Well that wind was something else today, no respite for 18 holes, normally you get a bit of shelter on one side off the course, but not today.
Never played my best stuff either, driving was really good again, giving myself chances to get onto greens in two, but my iron shots are dire.
Really struggled with chipping off the tight lies at Fortrose, normally a strength off mine but just couldn’t seem to commit to the shot.
Course is back to full length now as well.
Definitely going in the right direction but still a lot of work to do.

Game at Nairn this morning, back on the full course, no mats, appart from on a couple of holes the landing area is being protected for the Am in June.
i was a shock to the system TBH, we've been well forward on the front 9, most holes on there have been a 3 wood and a flick, today it was driver and 7 iron at best, on 3 and 5.
drove the ball OK, but i seem to have lost the ability to hit and iron prop. Playing Castle Stuart tomorrow, so will have to get there early and have some time on the range.

a few of us went to Castle Stuart yesterday, was looking good, weather not too bad, with a stiff breeze.
I appear to have lost the ability to hit an iron

Played crap, pulling drives left because I think I have pulled a muscle in my lower left back.
Stupid to even play considering it was blowing a hoolie and horizontal rain.

Put it behind you Greig, judging by your scores after your last injury you’ll be fine ??

Just daft of me to play considering the weather, could have been fine tuning my custom build speakers ??

18 holes played, first shot was a decent 5 iron to the fairway, second shot short and then a thinned pitch and a diffed chip, treble bogey, the short game's still there!
Luckily we were playing a friendly 4BBB so individual scores weren't kept.
(Didn't lose a ball!)

Played 18 holes this morning.
First tee shot with a 19° rescue club, nutted it left of centre with draw and landed dead centre of the fairway. Greens were very very slow and duffed the odd chip but finished with 32 points and barely able to walk the last 2 holes
Paid my subs and looking forward to Wednesday afternoons knock

Beautiful warm afternoon so going to knock off a bit early and head to the course - join a mate who's got a 5.04 tee time by himself - we should get a round in.

Warmish and very windy out there today. Course was empty when we teed off at 3pm. Largely pleased with how I handled the wind in general but there were approaches downwind (40mph plus) where it was impossible to stop it on the green. Need to do something with my putting, though that wasn't helped by some straightish putts breaking three or four feet because of the wind.
