Its a long walk I'll grant you!
Any low flying clubs encroach on aircraft trying to land?

The airport was remarkably quiet, just saw one microlight the whole time , didn’t witness any club chucking,
Young Mr Paperboy did try to out Cam, Cameron in the sweary department, but despite a good effort was doomed to failure

I'd be more worried about the average heart rate, unless there was a point in the round where he was in danger of losing to the Fragger.

Great trip guys,
Had the utter embarrassment of hitting the beach with my drive off the first, this morning and then having to coincide my second shot with a gap in the lapping waves, comedy gold apparently.
Any way that put me right off as only had 8 points at the turn, blobbed the 10th too
Then I don’t know what happened but started scoring, had a birdie on the par 5 12th and a string of 3 pointers for 20 on the back 9
Game of 2 halves John
Just reached Moffat our base for tonight and would like to thank Glyn and Cam for a brilliant trip and to Mark (Radbourne) for putting up with me for the whole time

It can be an unforgiving course - clearly used your top drawer golf yesterday at the Dunes.

Glyn, Cam, thanks for a great trip, shame I left my swing at home but the scenery just about made up for it. Good to actually get out of the house and see some old faces. This is somewhere I’d love to come back to.

How far is that carry over the beach on the first? The photos maybe deceiving as it doesn't look long, we have a similar hole that we have to drive directly over a beach about 170 yard carry.
You were blessed with the weather and must have made your trip so much more enjoyable

My pleasure Fragger. Spanish Birdie on the 12th was a joy to behold ???

Thanks Glynn & Cam, top draw organizers and quality courses & accommodation ???
Struggled on the front 9 at Machrie both days but redeemed myself with good back nines, so happy with my scores.
Dunes was amazing, back to back birdies on the 4th & 5th with a handful of pars and was killing it, had Cam belly up for the Matchplay win but then 3 stabbed the Si1 when putting for birdie and came off with a bogey?
Then just imploded on the 18th, duck hook drive, hacked out the rough, twice, then had 180yds to the green, flew over the flag and green and lost my only ball of the round ? which allowed Cam & Dave the win ?
Loved Machrahanish more though, again out the traps fast, drove the beach with my 3w, which I used off the tee for the whole round, should have parred the 1st, but lipped out, but then parred the next 3 holes? Silly error on 7 cost me a blob so turned on 17, again some nice pars but messed up 16 for a blob and came in with 16, but happy with my round & another 33points.
Great drive back to the purple palace at Glasgow Airport, the scenery was stunning.
Thanks to all my partners, great company, and once again, well done Glynn ??

Just got home from a fantastic trip, special thanks to Glynn & Cam for their time and efforts in organising and to Jon for driving. As a frequent visitor to that part of the world it was great for me to see the enjoyment and wonder of others seeing it for the first time, be it the views from the ferries or the A83 to the courses themselves, it sounds as though many are planning on returning in the future which is great.
Thanks also to all my playing partners for putting up with my atrocious golf which although frustrating at times didn't spoil my enjoyment of any of the great courses we played. The acommodation at both hotels was fantastic, when we asked at The Machrie if there was a TV where we could watch the football we weren't expecting to be directed to a cinema room with full size screen and leather seats !
