Now changed to 9.30 onwards (there is a ladies comp before then). I'll be having a late tee time, I'll try to accommodate as many as possible with early tee times, but subject to how many need it. We should be going out in 3 balls anyway. NWJocko - your now on dishwashing duty that morning.:D

Cheers LB, if you're on a later tee I'm sure you can get the washing up done before you leave...... :whistle:

Good work to you and Birchy again on this, really can't wait :clap:

Has set the bar pretty high for any future Birchy/Hurst trips though...... :ears:

Hillside before then ... and Woodhall Spa ... and a possible trip overseas! All in all seems a long way off to me! :whistle:

Edit: Have to agree this trip will be the standard against which all future jaunts will be judged.... best to bow out while your at the top eh LB/Birchy? :ears:

Hi Scott,

I will send the deposit for boat tonight or tomorrow and then pay up the rest of it in the next couple of weeks. Also stick me down for £12.50 on odvan.

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

Hi all,

Unfortunately, one of the Scottish lads can't now make it, due to another engagement taking priority.

He is booked in for both Royal Dornoch and Castle Stuart, but as only one has a full refund policy at this stage, he is looking to sell it on. If not he may just go to the one that doesn't offer the full refund, if he can swing it.

I know the likes of Odvan, GregBWFC and even Junior were maybe considering it. I can only give it to the first one that can commit, and pay at least a hefty deposit to cover both these games (so I can return it to the original booker) . Other things can probably be paid over the coming weeks, depending on how much a part of it they want to be a part of. There may be a space at the cottage, if that helps also, although it will only be a couch/sleeping bag option by the looks of it. Here is a breakdown of golf options as it stands:-

Top weekend price (2013) / Cheapest option 2013/2014

(Saturday)
B. Castle Stuart full price is £175 / £75 –(even on the weekend), yes £100saving!
(Sunday)
A. Royal Dornoch full price is £110 / Our best price is £65 Twilight in May.

(Monday)
C. Nairn full price is £ 110 weekday £ 120 weekend / ** stop press ** Now they have offered us a 50% discount which is now £55/£60 net.

Price total for the above 3,based on 2013 prices is £ 405. Cheapest weekend option based on 2013 is approx £ 195.00. A potential saving of over £210, which may pay for your travel/accommodation.You will not get these deals again, unless you go as larger group in the future, so get to these courses whilst you can at this price. Can you afford to do it? Can you afford not to do it, is what I say, at these prices.

Tuesday – (36 holes) - Tain GC -Normal green fee of £ 50, Old Tom Morris designed course, opened in 1889, rated as Scotland’s 59th best course, with sea on one side and the mountains on the other.

Fortrose and Rosemarkie GC
Normal green fee of £ 40, James Braid designed course, opened in 1888, but the land has had golf played over it since 1702, in the last 5 years it has held the Scottish senior ladies, Scottish club championships and the Scottish amateur boys and girls championships. Rated as Scotland’s 69th best course.

So £90 for the two, normally.

We have it for £70 Including full Scottish breakfast at Tain.
And trolley included at Tain.
Oh aye, and we also have a 2 course meal afterwards at Fortrose (main course and a sweet).
Fancy a cup of tea before going out at Fortrose – ok, go on then - also included.
A toastie in between the rounds would help to fill a gap wouldn’t it – included.
Blood sugars for 36 holes in one day, piece of cake thrown in with the toastie then. Oh yes - included.
So yes, £20 cheaper than normal and includes brekky, lunch, 2 course dinner and a trolley.
Wednesday – boat of garten and 1 course meal for £48
Possible couch available in our cottage for £91.50 (no matter how long or little you stay).

http://www.sykescottages.co.uk/cottage/ ... 29269.html

Possible transport options (if from north west, or even on the way):-
1. Friday morning - Stu C and mate leaving from Liverpool (also playing somewhere in Scotland on the way up)
2. Saturday morning – podgster – unless he goes in with Stu C, will be going up then.
3. Get the train up, maybe get a lift back or the other way around.

I’ll give Odvan, Greg BWFC 24 hours grace first, as they seemed genuinely interested, after that its open to all. If more than 1 wants to go, I can ask for another tee time at Dornoch and castle stuart, the others will be fine.

PM me for initial interest and/or post on here.
