Played my first round off tee boxes, fairways and greens at my new course.

Congratulations to whoever wins on Sunday, I shall applaud you. :confused:

Had eighteen holes - teeing off at 7.10am - this morning, mediocre front nine but very steady back nine. Range later today and then again after work tomorrow and Saturday morning - I've no chance alongside all you boys who hit it more than 150 yards - so I'll applaud the winner too.

Do I need to bring a handicap certificate?

All taking shape! - However - the Princess of Darkness has thrown me a curveball - and is now accompanying me ?!&*

So - Monday looks like no golf for me....:eek:

Any recommendations for good Dundee restaurant for the Sunday night?

Due to land at 1010 at EDI - so hopefully should be with you at the Clubhouse for 12. Very excited - and hoping for a better performance than at either Southern KOKs - where net 80 was my better score:eek:

Are you flying up Stu, if so from where and more importantly, are you taking your own clubs and how much did it cost you to take them?

I can get cheap flights up to Edinburgh from Birmingham but they want more for my clubs to go in the hold than me in a comfy seat :confused:

Nicked from London Koks thread

The clocks go forward on Sunday so 12pm is Saturday's 11am - Please don't forget this!

This is one of the reasons we went for Sunday in the first place - more than enough time for everyone to get round before dark.

Looks like full waterproofs will be the order of the day. :whistle:

Ok folks, looks like the weather is trying to beat us. Hopefully it won't be too bad. I imagined rain, wind, frost, snow but couldn't have envisaged fog!!!

In case it gets bad, please be on the look out for your fellow players' balls at all times, make sure you hit a provisional if you're not sure where it went as I would like all 12 of us to come home with a score.

DMDs i.e. lasers, watches, GPS are fine for tomorrow as per the local rules.

I need everyone to complete and sign your scorecards and return them to me at the end of the round.

It will be up to the course as to whether it is playable (I'm talking worst case scenarios here) and the tie will only be abandoned by the course closing for safety reasons.

Also to echo what has been said above- REMEMBER THE CLOCKS GO FORWARD TONIGHT.

Lastly, drive safe and I will see you all tomorrow.

North Berwick had the same foggy forecast today but course remained playable all day - just a bit misty. I'm sure we'll be fine tomorrow.
