Lots to look forward to in April 2010

[John_Findlay]

Was surfing YouTube the other night and came across this wee video featuring Spey Valley and Boat of Garten. It'll give those playing Spey Valley on the Friday a little insight into what to expect for the trip;-

I'm loving that shot out of the rough at 2 mins 30 secs! Think I might have taken stroke and distance relief myself!

I'm now making a 4 day trip of it. It looks like 6 or 8 of my little band of golfing warriors from Clark's Bar have decided to visit Boat of Garten a day before the masses arrive (36 on Friday, 60 on Saturday and 48 on Sunday!) for a practice round there and a stomach liner or two in Aviemore on the Thursday night. That way they'll be finely honed to golfing perfection on the Saturday at Castle Stuart....or not.

We're also ideally situated to help out with some transportation of far flung forumers from Inverness Airport back down to Aviemore on the Friday morning. Counting the days already.

Oh, forgot to mention. For those playing at Nairn apparently it's now the second best tourist hotspot in the world. Erm...really. My mates from there have been e-mailing me stuff like this all day.

Really looking forward to this just the three days for us! Will be great to put a few faces to names and have a bit of banter.

Hey John, keep going like this and it could be a 10 day holiday by the time it comes around.

Brilliant Steve, a player of my calibre should have a caddie.
Normal rates Smiffie, a pound a pound a pound?

How much if I can actually find your ball?

Thats no problem, I'm happy with my driver. Are you back to your Benny yet?

Smiffy thinks that because he can find his ball (normally because it hasn't gone far, and is down the left side of the trees) that he will be able to find any one elses. Odd really, as he has eyesight like Mr Magoo.
