[IanM]

Getting very excited about this already..... pretty sure going to make a two week trip out of this.... will be badgering you lot for info about where else to play on the way up and back.

 

[Fish]

Only just saw this, I’m 100% in ?

 

[Backache]

Can I stick my name down as a probable.
Can collect from Glasgow airport as I live 20 minutes away.

Hi, I’d be very interested in joining this trip, sounds amazing

 

[GG26]

[Jimaroid]

I think me and my Chaffeur duffers are definite so long as we dont have to play any golf with Cam.

 

[Fish]

I haven’t looked at the logistics yet, but on a first come basis, I could pull in en route and put a lot of clubs, trolleys, suitcases etc in my van to make those travelling in smaller cars or a minibus to allow more room for passengers and be more comfortable.

Deal! I hate looking for your ball.....

That’s what made me start thinking about it from your trip last year. ?

Great to see this taking off Glynn... tough logistics for a sizable group but, 'where theres a will.....' The potential rewards are immense.
Lives long in my memory as Machrihanish was my first GM forum meet where I teamed up with Fat Tiger - Chris, Dolly,Dobson from Hull who I only knew from forum posts. Us & a guy/*** from Kent were the only Sasernacks amid Craws 30 odd Scots. Played in Aire on the way up With Farnyman on Prestwick St Nick's, my into to the GM hosting facility.... magic.
Both accommodations are outstanding even when sharing the lounge at the Mc-Lodges with Craw, haha.
Those taking longer will give the vagaries of the Scottish weather a chance to unfold..... I hope it works out for all of you which ever option you go for as I rate this WAY higher than the brilliant Royal Dornock, Castle Stuart ....which was a treat. If I still had my 'Grandad's s Buss' load of Josh, Wes & Barnsey Dave I'd be joining you.
As it is I wish you good luck , good weather & good golf. The Good Fun bit is a given.

Dave if you can get to Carlisle I'm sure you could jump in with me and duffers if you fancy it?

Not too sure if Davemac is coming, last time I spoke to him he couldn't commit due to family holiday etc

I’ve looked at the ferry times, ferry costs and time it will take to get to Kennacraig, so I’ve booked a B&B in Tarbert for Wednesday night, especially with the ‘early ferry’ on Thursday morning and then playing later, makes sense to be fresh to enjoy such a great few days and golf courses.

Very sensible plan and Tarbert has some good eating and pubs.

Depending what motor I’ve got, if i drive, will be to pick people up on route.

Not sure whether heading to Scotland or woodhall yet...
