Nice course, lovely location but hellishly slow greens all year round.
Enjoy.

Just to confirm, I have now paid the final balance to Mar Hall. I have also booked and paid for two buggies costing £40 each (bloomin' expensive, I thought).
Buggies will be used by williamalex1, Roger and WillieP. There is a spare space in one buggy. I'd rather walk, but if no one else comes forward to use it (£20) then I will take it. PM me or post here.
See you all on Sunday. Weather is to be showery this week, but looks like it will brighten up over the weekend.
Thanks again.

But absolutely baltic apparently.

Only if the forecast changes from 9 degrees and dry.

Re: tees.
I've got some people who want to play off whites, some off yellows.
Frankly, I don't really mind what I play off. I 'get' the argument that you want to play off the full course. As would I, but there has to be a balance (wouldn't find much enjoyment slogging it round Championship courses off the tips on a forum meet which has been arranged for fun).
There's been a good bit of rain this week and will be making the course play longer than usual. In the interests of getting round in an acceptable time, and in line with having a hit with old and new friends, it would make more sense playing off the yellows.
However, you pay your money, you play what you want. Ideally, I'd like to leave this to you all to come to a consensus.
So, chat amongst yourselves and let me know on the day.

Looks a cracking course.

I have a competition there in June hence why I wanted to play it beforehand. The competition is actually off the yellows so playing off them would actually suit me but given the choice for Sunday I would much rather play off the whites, particularly if we are playing for money, the least we can do is have a challenge.

Concidering my age and ability it's the Yellows for me , if we have a choice, or even the reds if i can get away with it 
.
But I'll go with the flow.

Good point Billy. The reason we have yellow tees is to enable everyone to enjoy their round within their own limitations. In the interest of inclusion I'd opt for yellows. Would also add that the whites are there for those who want them.
Are age and ability relevant, isn't that why we all have handicaps 🤔

If !!! we have a choice i'll vote for the yellows, because thats what i prefer, simple.
if some of you are off the white and some yellow, then you need some sort of handicap adjustment depending on what the SSS is. For instance when we have this at my club the ones off the yellow get two shots less in line with the SSS difference. sim to how it is if you have ladies playing.

Problem solved, i called Mar Hall and asked what tees we will be using on Sunday, the Pro said we will be playing from the yellow tees.
Seemingly the course will be busy with corporate parties.

We can discuss strokes gained off the yellows coz my head's just melted reading the other thread.
My understanding is the Celtic/Rangers game kicks off around the same time we do so there may be travel congestion, though I have no idea of the proximity of the area.

Should be OK. You'll be passing the cut off for Celtic Park about 10:40 if we're meeting at 11. The M8 is never that busy anyway when the game is at Celtic Park. If it's at Ibrox that's when it gets busy. Assuming you're using the M8 and not the M74.
