Kingsbarns for me

What might be an interesting idea is to double the entry and play it over three adjacent courses.

North Berwick, Gullane No 1 and Muirfield
Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and St Andrews
Dundonald, Royal Troon and Turnberry Ailsa.
54 hole cut with final round on the 'main' course.

I'd have a bit of this but would go:-

Thursday - S and A
Friday - Formby
Saturday - West Lancs (will sort the men from the boys)
Sunday - Hillside

If just one course, Cruden bay.

Already got this - it's called the Dunhill :cool:

yep the real test of golf in the way the sport was created, in the raw format on the links open the weather and natural landscape , that for me is the true test of a golfer and it’s the type of golf that brings out the whole wide range of skill expected from the “Champion Golfer of the Year”.
So no rakes, modern clubs, shortly mown fairways, etc , etc? Maybe Crow could enter then if we want it how it was in the olden days?:p:p:p

Would love to see it taken to Wales.

Porthcawl is probably the only suitable option in Wales(certainly in terms of challenging the elite players).
