Re: Inverness (2) Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart ** updated **

We've definately decided to drive up on Friday afternoon to break the journey up so we're not too knackered on Saturday. Anyone else going to do the same? Would Perth be a good place to stop.

Yes it's a good place to stop, it's the start of the single track A9 and Inverness is a couple of hours drive from there.

Birchy, Qwerty and myself are likely to be doing the same and I'd thought somewhere around Perth would be good.

We were thinking of getting a game somewhere on the way up if we can get holidays etc.

Thanks both and a game on the way up sounds good as well if we can wangle the Friday off Just thought we can play other James Braid courses at special rates. Wonder if there's any near.

NWjocko Birchy and me are doing the same.
I think we're setting of early and getting a game in on the way, not sure where yet as Theres loads of options. I think its definately a wise move though :thup:

Edit.. Beat me to it Iain. What do you think about Blairgowrie mate?

We get cheap rates there do we?

Sounds good to me Dave, I'd sooner get a game on the way up if we're all cool for taking the day off?

I'm still good to drive/take my car aswell......

Yes, but just checked the scheme and it's only open to members of Braid courses with proof having to be provided. Mind you Soctt and Peter seem to get really good rates.

Re: Inverness (2) Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart ** updated **

I think Peter and the others might be wanting to go up Friday too. He did mention it to me on Sunday.

Whats the crack with this Braid thing?

Our course was designed by J.H. Steer and James Braid. There's an association of all Braid cousres and so we get cheap rates at them.

thats a decent option but you can't book more than 2 weeks in advance, I know the Scottish seniors championship is there the week after as my boss is playing in it.

 

[Qwerty]

Re: Inverness (2) Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart ** updated **

Ive played the Kings at Gleneagles and its superb, the queens looked equally as good (Both front 9s finish in same area with a great halfway house)
Apparently both are much better than the PGA which I didn't really see much of when I was there.

Gleneagles is bang enroute but Blairgowrie is only slightly off also. I'd be over the moon to play any of them. :thup:

Aree, I've also asked some our Scottish contingent if they have any suggestions on courses and/or places to stay on the Friday.

If we're going in mob handed again do we hit enough for society rates....?
