All done then, going to see Ronald before we play Donald 😀
Been looking at some videos of the course, it looks a brutal test
Lol wait till you see it from the black tee's not like those wimps in the video who played the white, 3 more sets of tee's behind those;)

I'll be playing enjoyable tees this time. Played the last into a whore or a wind last time. Driver, 2x fairway woods, 5 iron chip and putt for a career bogey!

two times ive played it we played off the gold tee, which was 2nd from back at just over 7000, but played about 3 holes from the Blacks, I'm not a big hitter and i didn't find it over long as i could still reach in regulation apart from 18.

lets see what the weather is like on the day, theirs plenty of tee's to choose from... though i wouldn't want to play from the green as a couple of guys i know have played the open there and they said it was just too short off those and takes a few of the hazards out of play

I'd personally be looking at blue so it's enjoyable for everyone who plays. What's the range of handicaps? Are you the low man off 4 Patrick?

Not sure who else is playing, think Toad is off 5.

I would say play of what ever tee you feel comfortable, but don't get lost or separated from the rest, you might not find them again :ROFLMAO:

It'll all depend on the wind. Except for two or three holes I wouldn't say it's unfairly difficult as long as you don't visit the dunes. Some of the holes look a lot harder than they are because of the epic landscape. I'm looking forward to it but yeah, there's no way I'm playing any of the back tees again 'cos I'm not daft.

Well I'm not in for a fun day if you have to stay away from the dunes between that and the bunkers I could have a four figure score,
I can't wait
