Opens

[stevek1969]

Stevie did you play in open because friends were or just because your not happy at scotscraig ?
The reason I ask is I've thought about entering opens just to play the different courses but have never applied as I wouldn't want to show myself up with guys only intent on winning .

A bit of both Mike to be honest mate,we play in the Alyth open every year if possible as one of the lads i know is on the committee there plus its a great wee track. Its a chance for cheap golf of the back pegs with the course in great knick.
Why would you show yourself up mate never in the times i've played with you thats for sureand your a no bad lad for a Gooner:rofl:

Honestly mate give it a go ,i've played with some cracking lads in Opens most are like minded to try and play well and enjoy it if you get a win then its a Brucie bonus, check the SGU website all the open are listed there.

I always thought you had to be near single figures for these things but will look at them for next year as I've got myself down to 14/15

Great value, was planning Royal Dornach but fell on a bad weekend for me but I'm sure it was £35.

Top value that Iain which is why i find the open at my place a bit cheeky at £22 which is the dearest in the area.

Thanks Iaing. Worth checking out for dates.

Played Belleisle Open today and well worth the £10.

£50 for an Open is nuts, only Royal Aberdeen is that up here.

Completely different attitude to Golf (and a few other things) between Scotland and South-East England!
