Scottish Open

Cheers Toad, thats a great option on the train. Count me in as one of the 12 please :D

Im happy to go with your recommendation Craw of Kingussie. Its a 3 hour drive but have no idea how far/long its on the train. Anybody any idea from Glasgow? It might be a bit of a trek :( Who has the furthest to travel from up north? Maybe an idea to get the date confirmed then see who comming from where and then pick the venue central to all. Would prefare not to go over my original 2hr30 drive if possible.

Monday 15th June for me too.
 
Newtonmore is flatter than Kingussie so I will do whatever everyone else wants to do.

You can do Kingussie in under 2.5 hours easy.

Also Toad what are the train times, dont want to have to mega rush golf, food, beer, mad dash for the train, would like to have a nice relaxing day and to be fair the train idea does certainly appeal.

I happy to avoid the hilly course if thats ok, but again I will go with the general vote.

Steve if we make it June 15th we have a few defs already. It will be impossible to get a date to suit everyone for this one so it will be a case of picking a date and going for it. I propose we make it June 15th and if it doesnt suit others another meeting can be arranged later in the summer. I think we will get at least a fourball for June 15th now so how does that sound?

Monday June 15th
Newtonmore Golf Club.

Anyone second this?
 
Sounds good to me.

Actually think Newtonmore is closer to the railway station than Kingussie so thats also a bonus.
 
Evening guys , am just back from my sunday night swally in my local so am just on. Toad thats a great gesture ta.Newtonmore sounds goood to me so we have a fouball sorted for the 15th and we can take it from there for other meets. I'll drop Newtonmore a email and let everyone no of times and cost etc anyone any specific time in mind i'm easy either way.Looking forward to it already my brother played there and said it was a nice course , so heres hoping.
 
Think that there is more than 4 already.

You, me, Farney, JF, Toad.

Possibles Bunkered and Centuryg5.

Hopefully a couple more will committ.
 
I played most of the holes OK, but scored a 9 at the first of the Par 5's, then scored a 10 at the 13th by managing to put three balls in the water, then scored another 9 late on. It's a tough, tough course for a high handicapper, but it was in great nick and I still managed to enjoy myself. :cool:
 
The more the merrier ,will get in touch with Newtonmore shortly to see what sort of deal we can get, if everyone who's going can let no me no as soon as that would be great , cheers
 
Looks like we have a date and venue sorted. Great just have to get the travel arrangements sorted now. Possibly meet up on the trains if thats how folk are travelling.

Looking forward to it.
 
Sorry Dodger wrongly assumed it would be too far away for you to travel in a day and back, accept my apologies it was on purpose but not on purpose if you know what I mean!!!!
 
Just checking the map and for me its over a 3 hour drive acording to google maps. Having looked at train times with conections etc it looks as its too far for me to make as it shows it as a 5 hour journey with 3 conecctions. Any chance we coukd make it a bit further south? Maybe I havent got the train time right but at that its a bit much for me.

Do we know who is travelling from the furthest north?

If there isnt anyone too far away,north, we could maybe bring it down country abit. That way I could still drive if it was within 2/2.30 hours. Though I would prepare the tarin if it was easy enough time /connectionwise.
Im still keen to go but the distance is a bit of a put off just now having seen how far up north it is.

Any ideas?
 
I'm furthest north i think, your right its a long way to go how about the original suggestion of Muckhart think thats fairly central or anyone any other ideas i not fussed either way and dont mind travelling
 
Steve

That would be a better option for me.1.30 drive Its also a 27 hole cousre. I would rather play an extra 9 holes than drive the extra 90/100 mins.

So if nobody disagrees maybe we could make it Muckhart.
 
No probs mate , even tho they have 27 holes they just rotate the nines so theres 18 available as i said in a previous post is was the best conditioned cours i played last , but for working this time i'd play ther open again this year .
