I should probably sort out a wee comp for the day... What do people fancy? Balls in a hat, Stableford? £2 each in the pot? Job done?
as there are 8 of us i was thinking pairs better ball teams out the hat, you could then have a match play in the group and individual stableford as well. Then we could have thread about playing different formats and all get ripped on :rofl:here:rofl:

I struggle to keep my score in a single format at the best of times. Nae chance I'll keep track of all of that.
That said, sounds good to me 🖒

Looking forward to this, looks like some light rain will clear Saturday for a finer day on Sunday. All good as we really do need a shower or two over this way.
I'm going to be in the clubhouse from about 13:30 as I'll probably have a light bite to eat.
First tee time is at 14:32. I quite like the sound of Patrick's format suggestion.
See you all there!

I'm just back from holiday in Scotland and played Scotscraig on May 8th. I could not believe it when they were watering the first fairway !!
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and hope to return at some stage.
Enjoy your game.

All the best today lads let me no your honest opinion of the course:thup:
I noticed a lot of tree's removed since my last visit Steve. Course was good though there was damage to a few greens from Foxes.
One thing that i did notice and was talked about was, in particular off the Yellows a lot of the holes are the same length, 370/380 yards. i think i lacks a couple of risk reward holes IMO.
Saying that enjoyed the day, though i played poorly on the front 9

Enjoyed it, in spite of some pretty honking golf on the front 9.
The course looked to me to be suffering a wee bit from a lack of growth, as there are some bare patches living side by side with some kind of shaggy, overgrown patches on the fairways. Tough growing conditions recently on this side of the country, though.
The layout is good, though. Tight off the tee, so it helps to drive straight. Unless you're Owen, that is, who made 37 points by visiting the right fairway probably less than 50% of the time :rofl: Great to watch.
Greens were good too. Its a fair challenge, I think, though I'd agree with Patrick that at least one risk/reward par 4 would enhance it.

You didn't hit driver of the 7th tee ,shocking thats risk and reward
, thats the first bit of rain we've had here in 6-7 weeks was this weekend, the greens could do with being a bit quicker , as Patrick said there blaming foxes or people spraying sun tan lotion on the greens ,i kid you not. Glad you enjoyed the day

If you were driving like me yesterday you wouldn't have hit driver off any tee! The left hand side of the course is lovely :rofl:
Greens were a decent enough speed and were at least consistent. Like carpets compared to ours at the minute, which have also suffered from lack of rain.
