Tain, Golspie, Brora, Royal Doroch Aug/Sept 2011

[patricks148]

While talking to Crawford about the Machrihanish meet for early next year he suggested organising a forum meet at some of the classic links in the highlands.

Tain ( Old Tom Morris) Glospie (James Braid) and Brora (James Braid) with also the possibility of Royal Dornoch Struie.

Just want to gauge interest at this time and thinking August/September 2011.

As I’m a member at Tain a good deal is assured and could also probably get a good reduction at the others on the green fee.

So Any interest?

Count me in for an overnight trip.

Algar is going too, he doesn't know it yet but he'll go. Steve K is a links freak as well and I'm sure his arm could be twisted!

If there is other interest from south of border, i'd be interested in September

 

[Farneyman]

I would be up for that also. I will keep a close eye on this thread.

Just going to have to google these courses as Ive never heard of them.

Tain has a walk on open on Sunday 3rd October if you are interested. The course is still in superb condition and greens are still quite fast. Tain is normally in excellent nick right though the winter, I tend to play right though unless there is frost.

I may be interested too if I can get time off work

I'll stick my name in the hat.

Just make sure your'e not on the 18th tee when I'm on the 17th fairway Vig

 

[patricks148]

The 17th at Tain is 217 yard par 3 that crosses the river twice, so no fairway

Its supposed to to be old tom Morris's finest par 3. Usually into the wind ( Gail) as well.

I'll find a way of hitting Vig don't you worry Patrick

Hello,

I would be up for that as it's not too much travelling. I'm playing Tain on 9th of October and looking forward to it as I've heard a lot of good reports. Just praying for decent weather.

 

[Yerman]

Long weekend next sept would be of interest to me though its a bit early to give a definite commitment -sorry and august is already accounted for with holidays.

PM sent Dave.
I could (could) be interested in this as long as it wasn't too late into September. The earlier the better for me (late August even).
I've just got a "thing" about Scotland and weather

I could have a word with Ray and see if he fancied making a week of it? Rent a small cottage/house somewhere. If we could get half a dozen it would only cost about £75.00 each in towards the rent!
Play a few other local tracks throughout the course of the week....
