Patrick the par must be what, 69 - 70?
These men will always tear it apart with the size of those fairways eh?

The Scottish Open
- Thread starter Doon frae Troon
- Start date
Off the black its 72 Allan, at just over 7000 yards not long for these guys. I know there are a few new tee's just for the pro's that add a bit more length. They have managed to get some rough this year as there's been so much rain. They have also added some pro bunkers and by that i mean only these guys would reach them off the tee.
But like a lot of Links courses my own club included it needs wind to protect it and we havn't had anything but a slight easterly for the last 2 months apart from the odd day.
Lets hope we get a bit of wind over the weekend, but not at Royal Dornoch as i'm playing there Sunday

I see the birdiefest has started again, Kaymer -5 after 7
I'm thinking -30 could be the winning score at Castle Stuart unless they considerably toughen up the course for the weekend,its simply too easy for the elite in form players.

Tried to look for it on TV yesterday and it didn't start on Sky until after 3pm. Is it on anywhere else?

It's on now. It usually just changes channels later in the day.

Howler..10 birdies and a 7 for his 67.
Some comeback.

I know this question is a few years late but why did The Scottish Open move from the superb Loch Lomond?

Crowds at Loch Lomond were average for the "Home of Golf" so they moved it elsewhere to a more traditional layout.
Crowds still average to say the least.
Maybe the current British Isles hotspot, N.Ireland, should get the plum spot the week before the Open and hopefully the Open itself in the not-too-distant future.
R&A politics will out I'm sure!!

1st time I have been able to watch any of it is today and I can remember each and every hole of the course.
Cracking golf course.

Was it not also to do with moving to a links course in order to attract players who were heading off to Ireland for their pre-Open practice?

I wonder if Franny has seen the new Irn Bru advert?

Well he did win but there again he lost.
I have never seen a 3 shot lead lost as quickly as Warren's.
