Well done.....ya jammy git!
 
This is one of the ones I'd played before. My folks are from that neck of the woods so this is one of the places I learned to play the game.

First two holes are straight up the hill - a real struggle - but flat enough once you're up there. Short course, small greens, whins everywhere, some great views; not for everyone but I like it.


My lass was brought up in New Galloway......she has family in the Dalbeattie area of D & G so the 4/5 times we are up in the area tend to play my pals course at Colvend,sometimes Dalbeatties own course.

What you describe FD wouldnt put me off playing it at all prefer shorter courses anyway being a short hitter.

Such a lovely area by the way.....if only could get the weather!..lol
 
Lets see;

Blairgowrie Rosemount
Western Gails
Carnoustie
Skibo Castle
Kilmarnock Barrassie
Kilmarnock Barraassie old 9 holes
Motrose medal
Crail-Balcomie
Crail-Craighead
Cullen
Spey Bay

I'm sure ive forgotten a couple though.
 
The 2 courses at Carden Park, Sheringham and Bude. Bit poor really. Then again, never mind the quantity, feel the quality....
 
Some memories you folk!!

I can't remember what I was doing yesterday!!

The ones I remember are -
Torwoodlee
Royal Birkdale
The Renaissance
Bogside
Turnberry Kintyre

Next years newbies include both Royal Portrush courses,Fairhaven,Caldy,Baberton,Rockcliffe Hall but I am sure a few others will crop up as the year progresses.
