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
Heathrow mate. On BA. Clubs count as a normal bag.

Off to bed now - up at crack of dawn...
See you all tomorrow for golf - or failing that a pint at least
I'm sure we will be grand - having been in a couple of KOKs..would echo the posts above. Hit provisionals! Medal on unfamiliar courses can lead to VERY long rounds if you are not careful...
Looking forward to meeting you all.

Can't believe there's boys in their bed when I'm out for a pint - I've no chance - first full day off work since Christmas tomorrow though so all good

BBC has reduced their warning of fog to mist and pushed this back to 7pm. Hoping we'll be alright.
If anyone needs to contact me, PM me via their smartphone. I'll be in front of the clubhouse at the 1st hole from 12.30pm. You'll not miss me- just think 'honey monster'.

Fog? Who said that? Where? What?
in fairness, completely playable, and a great day out. My thanks to my marker Patrick. He very kindly subtracted my handicap twice, and I was still bottom of the field
Scottish bunkers. Different gravy.
Congrats to the winner! To be revealed later. A great score. Huge thanks to Virtuocity for all of his hardwork.
to my playing partners, Patrick, some wonderful irons, just no putts today. William, an education in course management! LIG I think I tried to drag you done to my level. Gents! I enjoyed your company immensely. Thanks! (Sorry about the golf!)
Ian, thanks for the pathfinder role!

Well, that was...something. I am definitely not the biggest KoK in Scotland.
First of all, big thanks to Virtuocity for organising the day. The weather wasn't up to much but it was great to play at St Andrews. The first eight players out hit very good tee shots. It's a good job nobody was around to see our group, as I think we had four poor ones out of four.
Thanks also to davidy233, Virtuocity and IanG for the company and for putting up with my honking 'golf'. Virtuocity and IanG both had good rounds going there and played well. Not sure of the results but I'd expect at least one of them to be in the running. Highlight of the day was on 15, when both had birdie putts of 30+ yards and both ran them up to tap-in distance. As for me...
Well, I was going along ok for the first half a dozen holes. Not spectacular, but ok. Then I went offline from the tee on 7 and made 7. Next hole, I was looking to get back on track and smashed a great drive up the middle of the fairway (one of about 4 decent shots I hit all day) thinking I'd be able to have a crack at the green in two. However, when I got to my ball, it was sat in a nice, deep fairway bunker. Ended up with a 6 and that was pretty much the end of my chances. Even if I'd been better on the way out, my ball striking deteriorated on the back 9 to such a degree that I've had to have gone out in about 28 to have had any hope.
So it was a bit of a bust. El Bandito, if you genuinely were bottom of the pile, then - if you forgive me- you must have had a horror show to have finished below me.
Apologies to all that I couldn't hang around afterwards. Had to rush home as both the kids are unwell with chickenpox and the Mrs was going out of her mind. And it was Mothers' Day, after all Coming home to be greeted by the sight of my daughter in tears and covered in spots put my nonsense properly in perspective.
Congrats to the winner, whoever it is. Good luck at Hillside :thup:

Great day, good course , really good company , Patrick and I felt quite embarrassed taking money from LIG and El Bandito, but we'll get over it in time for Hillside lol. Well done to the winner, who will be revealed when Virtuocity posts the full results, nice to put faces and names to avatars.
Thanks to Virtuocity for organising the day.
