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

We're in a Travel Lodge at Perth for much less than what I could find in Blairgowrie.
Do you know which particular course is fancied??

I think we're hoping to get on the Rosemount. Apparently its rated as the better of the two but I believe the Lansdowne is also a very good course.

I'm hearing from the locals that there are other good choices in the area...... Glenisla and Alyth..... maybe good for next day am

By the sounds of it nothing is booked yet..... When you thinking of doing so?
I've had Kingussie mentioned as a good course if we want somewhere for the following morning... are you thinking of playing Sat am?? on way up to Castle Stewart??

There are loads of great tracks in the area Dave, you're spoilt for choice. We are staying in Aviemore on the Friday night then playing Spey Valley on the Saturday morning before Castle Stuart in the afternoon.

Looks like a mass exodus on the Friday!!!

Anyone still around the North West/East for a game on the Friday? Or maybe a little further north??

Podgster might be, not sure of his travel plans yet. Were the flight options no good?

I believe Podgster is driving up the Saturday morning iirc. Will have to confirm with him though.

The amount of time I spent trying to find something suitable at a reasonable cost.... Far less hassle just driving up - no worrying about getting to/from the airport ON TIME, lost/damaged clubs/luggage, car hire etc.

Still willing looking to share travelling with anyone, even if it's one way with someone and return with someone else. Anyone have space/need a lift going up or comming down please PM me. It could still work....
I warn you though, I bring the kitchen sink....gps AND laser!!!

How much are you taking? Get the overnight sleeper from Euston to Inverness, your golf clubs and trolley can go in the front luggage area and it's secure.

No Dave, it's me, Davie Forde, his brother Gareth and our mate Garry. We are travelling up on Friday to play Nairn, then McDonald Hotel in Aviemore on the Friday night, Spey Valley on Sat morning before Castle Stuart. We are staying at a guest house in Inverness Centre on the Saturday night, KK is staying there too.

Just make sure Miss marple and Poirot aren't on it, and you'll be alright.

Podgster is still going and is on his own as it stands (from Liverpool). His original plan was as ours (go up early saturday morning), but whether he may decide to partially go up on the Friday night, play a twilight on Friday night, I'm not sure - PM him.

One of the NW cars should be able to drop you back in the NW on the Wednesday, but you'll have to pack light - no trolleys, same as us.

Have you already booked Nairn, or have you got a deal - if not, do you want me to see if I can extend our price deal with them for you guys on the Friday?

Cheers Pete but we are already sorted for Nairn, we are getting signed on there on the Friday.

No probs, just didn't want you paying top price, if I could help it.

You can give me some tips for the Monday when we play there - just me though, none of the others.

Have already arranged for Marple and Poirot to be bumped off.

Are you guys all carrying then? A short, unfit, asthmatic like me would be in need of oxygen and a defibrilator after the first incline.

I'll give you 3 tips on Nairn for fee.

Hit it straight off the tee, stay out of the bunkers and no more than 2 putt any of the greens and you will have a good score
