We were fishing north of Lofoton before Xmas photo was taken in Bodo the lights always look better on a photo.

If I was going as a tourist I would fly/ boat to Bergen then get the Hurtigruten which is a boat that goes all the way up the coast of Norway, it would take around 3 days but the scenery all along the coast is spectacular.

I am planning to visit September time as well.
October gets too cold very quick. I remember cutting greens one morning in October and the windchill was -7?
Are you looking at flying to Narvik, I like the look of taking the 24hr train from Stockholm to Narvik and then hiring a car and then heading to Bodo

Hope you get to play Muirfield, great course, only about 15 minutes away from home for me, when I worked in the PO (for about 27 years) we had an outing there every year so I've probably played in about 30 times in total

I know a guy who has run organised trips to Lofoton if anyone wants his contact details...it’s a trip I’d have loved to go on, but wasn’t up to it

In September?
There is still 12hrs of daylight.
I hope I can get one round in 12hrs ?
I lived near Oslo and we was still playing golf at the end of October

I'm interested in any details for getting there. Currently thinking about flying to Oslo and then internally to Leknes (I think), with an overnight stay in Leknes. Drive from Leknes, play golf, stay over in Lofoten, hopefully see the lights, then drive back to Leknes and fly back to Oslo and on to UK. At least that was my initial idea, will depend on costs and timings etc. Any other ideas welcome, although don't want to do more than three nights if can help it.

Played Portrush in an Open this summer... keep an eye out as I imagine they'll be doing it again if there's still limited overseas visitors. Great way to play it, and for a lot cheaper green fee than usual. Brilliant experience.

It’s an organised tour with a group, at least that was what he organised before.

The Wales Trip - Aberdovey & Royal St Davids (Open comps in July)
The Forum Surrey Meet - Woking and NZ
H4H - Don't know yet - but I'm sure it's a nice course I've never played before.
Looking forward to it all, but if I have to pick then the Welsh courses are the one's that gets my heart pumping a bit extra as I'm a sucker for links courses and I've never been to Wales before. Hopefully we'll squeeze in another course on our way to Wales as well, with Beau Desert the front runner currently.
Lots to look forward too!

I've met you plenty of times, so I don't think the welsh can be much worse?
I quite fancy;
