• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Silloth Open. May 27th. Bank holiday Monday.

Robin, we will be on the range/practice area from 8am onwards:thup:

So you need over 2hrs 20 minutes to warm up :whistle:

Just had a call back from the club, the restaurant will be serving a breakfast menu from 8am on Monday :thup:

Robin, every bit of practice helps, did you ask if they had Haggis on the menu.

If not can they fry it for us if we bring our own down.

I'm sure due to their location they must accommodate all tastes at the breakfast table but you may have to bring your own Mars bars.
 
Weather looking ok 5 days ahead, bound to be snow,sleet, asteroids from ming the merciless on the day then.

13 MPH wind though, straight off the solway firth - sort the men from the boys. Mama!:)

Looking forward to this now:thup:

13mph wind, well that's just a gentle breeze, roll on 10.22 am Monday.

Has a wager been agreed, not sure if all terms and conditions have been laid down but I was thinking we would all stand up like men and play it off the bare feet. Most of the lads on here talk a good game so lets put it to the test, I will however allow the use of them girls clubs (hybrids) if anyone wishes to use them:whoo:

Best card score on the day as per Silloths Open day was agreed, £5 per skull and the winning team takes all ;)
 
It had been forecast dry all week and then Dave 2blue mentioned wet & windy and I just looked and now and its 60% chance of rain throughout the day :(
.

Its looking a bit Rough at the moment, Im just hoping they've got that forecast wrong ,it wouldn't be the first time.

Are you getting a game in up there on Sunday evening Robin?

No, just a nice easy drive, well that's the plan, bet I floor it ;) Hope to get their around 2pm for a look around, can't find anything on their (basic) website about a range or practice facilities? If they have any I'll have a swing in the afternoon and then try the local cuisine and beers, I've heard Solway Shrimps are to die for :)

Might see if I can do 9 holes late Sunday, see how I feel.

Just been reading some testimonials, one stated "there were 17 of us all members of links courses so were used to the conditions but, none of us landed the par3 9th green into the wind and some of us took a driver or 3 iron to a 122 yard par 3 into the wind!"

It's gonna be fun :thup:

there is a practice ground adjacent to the 1st fairway although you cannot see it from there. See the pro he will tell you how to find it.
9th is the best hole on the course in my view. Depending on the wind it could be any club in the bag but plays into prevailing wind normally. Some nasty bunkers both sides if you miss.
Hope the weather is kind and you enjoy it.

There you go...... Scott mentioned it before me.
Just hope my team remember to put in their all weather gloves...... and the rest of the winter gear.
Pete..... Have we got team colours for this???........ Mind you will probs be lost under the rain gear.
