SCOTLAND- King Of Kings 2014

[virtuocity]

Ah right, sorry I misunderstood.

By the way, you'll only part with money once I've made the booking. But I only want to book once everyone lets me know their preferred date. I'd hate to book up only to find that everyone comes back and says they can't make it

 

[ger147]

My preference is as late as possible in the month and early tee times on the day for daylight purposes as it won't be a 3hr round on a course in St Andrews.

I wish Nairn was Still £350, nearer £700 now, our lot love spending other peoples money on things we don't need.


Would be up for a home and away game at F&R if you like Nairn or Moray I'm a member at both.

Yep can do

touche - eating my words as i type!
i can't believe nairn is 700 - still pretty good value when you consider what other courses charge to be fair.
sounds great - i've played neither despite many opportunities, but would love to play nairn in particular.
have you had a peek at the changes afoot at f&r? new tees and bunkers - looking forward to playing the new look layout in 2014.

 

[the smiling assassin]

Happy to join in that some other time too - home and away Duddy & NB sounds like fun - any other lothian-ites fancy making up a 4 ball??

sounds like a plan - would be fun to host a 4ball and would love a trip to n.berwick, a big gap in my golfcv right there.

 

[davidg2010uk]

I'd be up for St Andrews. Is there a hurry to get this booked though? Not a great time of year to be forking out £60, would rather hold on until January if possible?

LIG (definitely for the 30th, unlikely for the 29th)

Keep me right folks

It's clocks forward on the 29th night so an hour's more light on Sunday evening.:clap:

That's with bar card and locker of course. It's the best course for 50 miles!

I played fortrose in a charity day about a month ago and all the bunkers were GUR. No sand in any of them and some so deep if you had knocked your ball in, you would not have been able to get it back again , I'm talking 10 feet deep!
I didn't notice any new tee 's though.

 

[the smiling assassin]

i know - there are a few crazy deep new additions. was up at the end of last month and had a good look. once they've finished the work the bases will be raised a bit, but still going to be tough - especially if the front faces are as steep as they've been dug out.
in the 14 years i've been a member, they've completely re-built all bunkers on the course 3 times during winter work. last time was a disaster - raised many of the bases and lost the revetted edges that were so characterful. i really hope they are going to make a return to previous incarnations with this latest project.
new tees on 2,3,4,7,8,11,12,17 - sss up to 70, yardage up from about 5900 to 6100 i think.

 

[SimonS]

Count me in for this. I can make any day with sufficient notice (9 weeks or more).

Another possibility for a course is Crail. £40 in March and no mats at any time.

 

[virtuocity]

Good to have you on board Simon. :thup:

 

[patricks148]

I wouldn't pay £10 to play Crail let alone £40.... believe that at that time there are no Mats on The Jubilee either, plus its a 100 times better course than Crail.... in fact i don't think i would even play Crail again if it was free, even if the head greenskeeper drove to Inverness and picked me up

So a maybe then?

 

[stevek1969]

Scotscraig are doing a deal for £25 no mats and full course,course is in cracking condition and always good in March

I've only heard good things about Scotscraig but never been there. Happy to give it a go if the cheaper price can attract a bigger field. They are probably a bit more flexible on booking and paying than St Andrews LT.

 

[davidy233]

I'd be Ok with Scotscraig too - St Andrews price isn't a factor for me though,Happy to go with what gets the most people playing.

Just checked my course (Monifieth Medal) and we are £45 for weekend visitors in March.

 

[LIG]

Happy to go with the majority ...... as long as it's Sunday (more light) and not too much further north.

 

[virtuocity]

Ok,

Well if everyone is reasonably happy, I'm going to go ahead and try and book either the New or Jubilee on Sunday 30th March. I'll book 12 places unless we get a sudden rush of interest between now and tomorrow morning.

Bear in mind if you have any pals who might be interested, get them along but get them registered on here first.

Remember- entry fees are due in now by Paypal or Bank Transfer.

Also- St Andrews will need £50 within 2 weeks, so you'll have to transfer this to me within that timescale or face losing out.
