Very good, fantastic looking course.

I'm never sure about fairways getting cut half in half (with and against) because it makes it look tight, certainly looks tough enough.

its used to be much tougher, all the whin died back so they cut huge swathes away about 4 or 5 years ago. its all starting to come back now. shame they a so cash strapped, only have 2 full time greens keepers and do a great job for the resources they have.
going to rejoin this year, well a £295 for a returning lapsed member its rude not to especially with those reciprocals at Royal Dornoch, Brora, Golspie, fortrose and a few others;)

if you make it up this year we will get a game here as well;)

I need to to arrange a wee trip up north north during the summer to play some of these crackers - car, clubs and a tent! Oh and plenty of baws :cool:

Its on my list to play this year as well, i passed it the other year on way back from Dornoch and it looked superb

I like these wee meets :thup:

you boys keep in touch we will arrange some games when you either get up one at a time or all together.

I'm not coming up to take part in one of those face licking/back patting days where 15 handicappers turn up trying to like golfer's off the telly :rofl:

Can I pay the deposit when there's one minute to go?

Not suggesting a meet with loads, too much like hard work arranging.

i will come back to you with some dates for opens /TS etc.

Considering the benefits I'm seriously considering that country membership. Just got to do it without the Mrs knowing. :whistle:
