Machrihanish 29th January.

Does anyone fancy a road trip next Sunday, either Machrihanish or the Dunes? I'm going to head round for a knock. Wondered if anyone else fancied a game on quality links, long range weather looks good at present but I'll keep an eye on it as the week progresses.

I tell you what Craw if it wasn't for the fact that

a) it's miles from Suffolk and
b) I'm not sure I've got the game for the links

I'd join you. Have heard so many good things about the place that I'd love to play it. Hope you find a game.

You can run Tiger, but you cant hide from Links golf matey. Sooner or later you are going to have to bite that cherry.

I can't get a links game for love nor money! Nearly 20 years and I've still not bitten that cherry. This saddens me deeply!

you could, you just can't be bothered...

Cost and time is more the factor. I'd love to come up to Scotchland to be beaten up by any number of Links tracks!

Bitten the cherry at Felixstowe Brendy and almost choked to death on the pip!

There's some in Wales but need to find people who want to play. I've heard nothing but good things about Ashburnham but that's still a nearly 4 hour round trip from my house, but worth the trip I'm sure, if I can find some people who are available to play when I'm available.

The closest to you is probably Burnham & Berrow, a chap on here is a member (his name escapes me temporarily)

could be a great spot for a meet, and for you to lose your links cherry


or before Blackmore we could do Hayling Island

failing that we could go on mass to the next scottish trip

Blimey! That place looks sexy! (Burnham) Not cheap mind! Hour's drive though. I could be up for that if I can find £90 from somewhere.

Go to Ballyliffin a nice weekend away for you and the Mrs

yeah sorry. consider it a thread sacrifice not so much a hijack. You've given your thread over to Aztecs and his potential love of links golf.

This way next time he'll be up for making the journey

Would love to but 300 mile round trip is too much for a days golf buddy.

 

[thecraw]

Absolute nonsense. Dedication is what you need, Roy Castle was correct!

 

[DelB]

Roy Castle was correct!

Not sure if it was ever verified by Guinness World Records, but I heard once that when Roy Castle blew a high C on his trumpet, you couldnae get a Visa card between the cheeks of his arse.
