Machrihanish Gents Open Sat 12th May

[thecraw]

I'm going to enter this Open does anyone else fancy it? £20 entry fee.


Sending off my entry at the end of next week. PM or post on here. A muffin stop will be on the agenda in Tarbert. I'd imagine Valentino is now very interested.


:thup:

I was think of playing in an open there but just too much on workwise in May, June and July to factor in the weeks it will take me to get there

Funny you should mention it but I was toying with the idea of trying to get a car load for a day trip but it's a *** of a haul from here!!!

Just googled it and it's at least a 4 hour job which means a 6am start,a midday tee time if possible and a 10pm return!

Nowt on at Goswick though.....

Dodger, I'm 3 and half from Lanarkshire so you've got to be an hour more down your way.

It's an overnighter for you I reckon

245 miles,4hrs 45 according to google so you can strike at least a half hour off that,I have just been reminded that I am away playing Irvine and Turnberry on the Thursday and Friday so it look unlikely!!

Well I'm 155 and 3 and half hours. It's a murder road but well worth the trip. You should get yourself over for next years outing.

I did say I was going to go, but have to take Sophie to swim coaching that morning. Sounds like another poor excuse though, will definitely be along to one of their opens during the summer.

What times did you get for Bogside Allan ?

 

[Val]

Craw, I do see they have a few opens through the summer and would be happy to take a trip or 2 then, maybe even an overnight with a round at the dunes on the Sunday

Half three on the Thursday.Perfect.

 

[AMcC]

Good, should be fairly quiet around then. Course is in good nick just now, well except from the horses running around it this morning. Some of the holes have a second yellow box / tee beside the blue tees and are behind the white medal tees. This gives you a chance to play a slightly longer course, just keep an eye out for them. The ones which may have this second yellow box, are 2, 6, 12, 17 and 18.

 

[Dodger]

Well things are gathering pace on twitter tonight and it looks like at least 4 will be heading to it.Long day ahead!!

 

[Dodger]

In fact can you men recommend a cheapish hotel for 4 men to put their head down anywhere on the road to Mach?

Will be travelling from Turnberry and in fact we may be as well stopping in say Tarbert or even going all the way to Campbletown as we will be off the course by 1pm on the Friday.

 

[Val]

If your going as far as Tarbet you'd be as well going the full way as its only 40 mile from Campbeltown.

We know a good cafe in tarbet thecraw will keep you right

Google and trip advisor for hotels buddy, although the Mach mob from 2010 stayed in Campbeltown so they might be able to help

:thup:

West Bank Guest house in Campbelltown is ideal Dodger. Cheap and the breaky is awesome. I would enquire at the Dunes to the price of a cottage knowing how good they are.
