Not my pic, but a great photo from Braemar Golf Club's facebook page today. First snow of the Autumn last night lying on the hills in the background. Great wee track Braemar.

I wouldn't be happy if I'd left that one short though.

I imagine he didn't, it's very downhill.
Played with the guy in their open a month or so ago, putts one handed
Only ever played it with hickory clubs, quite good fun as its pretty short. Last time it snowed a couple of times while we played which was March or April.

Funny we were sitting in the clubhouse yesterday discussing how little/much snow we had see over the years where we live.
When I used to live in Surrey I reckoned on seeing some every year now, in South Somerset it is about once in every five years and it rarely lasts. You do not have to go far North (Mendip Hills) or far West (Exmoor) for a slightly different take on it.

No doubt things change, when I was young, say early 70s to early80s, a lot of snow in Aberdeenshire, then from then till around 2009 it was much scarcer, but the last ten years have seen some belting winters again.

Every year there seems to be a blizzard in the SE of England which deposits a few millimetres of snow and everywhere grinds to a halt!

Haven't played Braemar for a long time. Do they still have sheep fences round the greens?

Must be a very long time, I can't recall them ever having sheep fences.

Might be getting my courses mixed up but was back in the 80's

I probably didn't first play there until the late 80s, hard to be exact. You not thinking of Brora?

I definitely played a few courses with fences to keep the sheep off. I remember Brora and thought Braemar was another but I may well be getting them mixed up. I used to go up to the highlands a lot and play golf and go hill walking but then went abroad in the 90's and have played fewer since returning with kids.
Hopefully get to play more now I'm heading for retirement.
