Machrihanish

[thecraw]

I made a dash round to Machrihanish yesterday and played in beautiful sunshine coupled with a testing and cold easterly wind which turns Machrihanish on its head and makes the outward 9 very tough and the inward 9 rather easier than it normally plays.

The course has "wintered" well and was in excellent condition with the greens being in superb condition for the time of year.

I strongly recommend that anyone who wants to should head round and make a day of it. You won't be disappointed.

Cracking pictures mate, I feel a road trip coming on:thup:

 

[Iaing]

Looks like a cracking day. Hope it's as good on Sunday!
Looking forward to it!

your spending too much time on here, is that why you don't answer texts or calls?

No mate its called a six year old with a virus and a boxer dog with horrendous diarrhea! I was either mopping up liquid poo, dealing with a fever, sickness, sore throat, or trying to find a cork!

I'll call you now.

Great pictures but doesn't look as much fun as I had in the office.....

Welcome back!

I've got a cork here if you need one! I'll bring it on Sunday. :thup:

Shouldn't there be a little more 'green' about?

Proper links golf!!
It's been really dry up here for a while...they were watering the greens at Machrihanish yesterday!

Looks as awesome as i remember it. Blooming brilliant track which every red blooded golfer should experience.

 

[deanobillquay]

Seriously want to play this track!!

Can't wait for the Machrihanish weekend now after eyeing those pictures :thup:

You did well to take the pics, playing on your own!

that's wot I was thinking, but I hear google earth has come on leaps and bounds since I last used it

Brilliant again today. Greens a wee bit slow but shaping up nicely.

Scott and I ham'n'egg'd well today. Wouldn't want to embarrass Iaing and Valentino but publishing the score by it was a great day. £1, £1 & £1 jingling in my pocket.


:whoo:

 

[Iaing]

Aye. A wonderful golf course. Even though I played crap it couldn't detract from the splendour of the place! It's an absolute joy.
You and Scott both played very well, but the less said about your par on the 300 yard 18th the better. What was it, hybrid, 3 wood, pitch and 8' putt?
See what big Val and me were up against?

The scorecard paints no pictures. A par 4 went down on the card.


Topped 3 wood off the tee.
Smashed 17 hybrid.
Duffed pitch.
18 foot putt - BANG!


Easy par, where's the controversy?
