[Liverbirdie]

Lets see what the missus say anyway :thup:

Fixed that for ya.

Reckon I'll be pretty much up for this exciting trip to some of Scotland's finest. Any option really and could liase for transport at my mates in Penrith if no one going from the East.

 

[Qwerty]

Id prefer option 3 Peter. But if the majority go for one of the other options then that's fine :thup:

Where are you thinking of staying.... In Inverness or somewhere out of the way? Do the Caravan parks have a facility for some :cheers:

[huds1475]

Still mulling a weekend only / flight in & out jobby - never give up!!

Cant speak for Inverness but Nairn nightlife was a bit of a joke, out by 11 in any bars we could find, caravan park was 100% though.

Indeed, there 's not much in Nairn and its only close to one course you are playing.. I suggest you stay in or close to Inverness. Plenty of B&B's and it has lets say a "colourful" nightlife with 20 bars + and 3 night clubs.

They have even opened a Pole dancing club somewhere this week, though it could just be some Polish Guys dancing around pished

Maybe we need a Prole dancing club, for us scallies. I reckon StuC can throw a few shapes.

So come on people when can and when can't you make it, without this info, we can't move onto the booking stage.

Over the May Day bank holiday is my preference but happy to go with the flow

 

[HotDogAssassin]

So if you can get a 3 or 4 night pass from HID - YES :thup:

you want to play some of the most scenic, out the bloody way courses in our fair isles - YES :thup:

you can afford the moolah - NO

At a saving of potentially £180 - can you afford not to turn it down, or miss it? Depends on your point of view.

Suggestion 1 - shoot some more hot dogs!

Suggestion 2 - It will probably be in staged payments, initial deposit in the next month or so for the courses only, balance in February, hopefully. You can save for your accomodation and spends in the next 10-11 months.

[Fish]

I'm deffo up for it, what I'd say is I'd want as much out of it as possible so the most and best courses in the time allotted for it not to be all too rushed, if you know what I mean, and, not stuck out in the sticks, I've watched The Wickerman and these isolated area's scare me

Ok mate that sounds like the same idea weve been working to so that's good news . Once we have sorted out the golf booking side we will try and book the accommodation which will suit us best for being close to civilisation & pubs etc etc. We can get a few pointers off our Inverness representative Patrick :thup:

Weve looked to get the 3 star courses of the area as the main core of the trip then once that's booked in we can also add on other golf as people see fit. Some may want to play a bit more/less than others etc.

Just to throw a spanner in the works.... CS and Royal Dornoch do a special in October. The misses treated me earlier this year to 2 rounds at CS and 1 round at RD with 2 night B&B at the Royal Dornoch hotel for £275 fantastic value, and I was playing in shirt sleeves....though that can't be guaranteed in October.

Cheers for the heads up. We did look at these packages but I didn't fancy risking it with the weather and having 12-16 lads stood outside my hotel room baying for blood when it starts snowing

 

[NWJocko]

Still don't know if I can make this.

If I can Option 2 or 3 are best for me out of those.

Top work arranging this (again) LB and Birchy, looks a cracking trip.

I'm ok for any, Birchy.

Twire, thanks. I ws originally thinking of tying it in with the Ryder cup Sunday at Gleneagles, then playing these courses Monday onwards, but I thought October in Highland Scotland could be a washout.
