Anyone suggest somewhere (or even willing to host) for a game of golf this Friday, need full tees, fairways and greens?
Prefer game within 2 hour drive of Ayrshire.

Judging by the forecast, there won't be many courses open this weekend on full tees, fairways and greens.

Dave and I have booked Glasgow Gailes tomorrow 10.45 tee time @ £34 a head . Today the full course is in play, the forecast for Friday is slightly warmer at + 4c, so no winter tees or greens.
If anyone would like to join us give us a shout .:thup:

I was concerned as I drove into Irvine as the wind had picked up, the temperature dropped to 3 degrees and the hail began to lash down.
However, as we teed off the weather calmed right down, and we enjoyed a lovely round of golf with the sun splitting the sky.
Some icy patches in the rough and the bunkers were either GUR or very muddy, but despite these issues the course was in really good nick, with full tees, fairways and greens on. Given how desperate people get for a game at this time of year, I felt that £34 was a decent price for a really good course.
As for the game, I've been driving really well recently and this showed again today, missing only 4 fairways and never in trouble. Irons, apart from the first hole, were the best they've been in years- but that's not saying much! Putting has really improved over the past 6 months (after a disaster at Gainsborough inspired me to practice). Chipping, once again, let me down but if that's the only thing I can complain about, and considering I have never been able to prioritise this area of my game in practice, I'm happy enough.
Despite these positives, somehow, I lost the front 9 (1 down), but 'class is permanent' and despite Williamalex1's competent use of the GUR bunker rules, I managed to win on the 17th.
A throughly enjoyable day and hope everyone is having a lovely time at work
