Trump int'l / Carnoustie, April/May 2016

[Radbourne2010]

Gutted I couldn't make Cruden Bay today. Pics looked amazing. Did make up for it by blagging my way onto the Old Course at 4pm with three of the best blokes you could ever wish to get drenched, wind blown & snowed on playing golf. One golfing box ticked. Two more on the cards over the weekend after playing Murcar tomorrow late morning. Can't wait to meet up with everyone at last ne:

Need it mate after day the rain, hail, snow and wind at Carnoustie. Fantastic course though, considering it's the second course.

Anyway, Stu's promised we'll be back at the hotel before 3am......

We are as well!!

Just as a point of interest re Cruden Bay, the oil pipeline from the North Sea to Grangemouth refinery comes ashore here and is buried under the beach.

Have a great day today guys. I'll be thinking of you as I'm sat 1/2 a mile away in the office...

Echo the comments on Cruden Bay, a wonderful place and I mostly wanted to add how brilliant the welcome from the staff in and around the clubhouse was. A little thing that makes a big impression made the place a model of perfection.

That hill though... I couldn't conquer that twice a week

I hope you guys have better weather than we do this morning! Awful here, course closed etc

Omg what a course Cruden Bay was. Fantastic. Stuuning views and great company. I'm tweeting my photos as on mobile. Sounds really windy out there this morning. On 2nd brew and will be going for more food again shortly.

I thought similarly to Dornoch that the course has 2/3 levels to it. Some along the beach, but others on higher tiers of land, and looking and playing up or down to the other parts of it. Some great undulations and like a roller coaster in some parts.

I think the changes in elevation at Cruden were better and more varied but yeah I can see what your saying Now I think back more about Dornoch.

I'm struggling to compare because I thought it was a lot better. Never seen a links with so much elevation change and such variety of holes.

Can't wait for Glynn to pick me up from the airport later.....

 

[FairwayDodger]

Anyone think they'll be heading into Aberdeen from bridge of don premier inn round about 7.30, 8.00 tonight?

 

[Crawfy]

Just shy of 24hrs until I step onto the 1st tee at Trump. I'm like a kid at Christmas, however sadly stuck in the office.

Looking forward to a top drawer weekend playing our great game and making new golfing friends

Safe travels to all !!

I arrive at Aberdeen airport at 20:20 and then heading up to the Premier (if Glynn remembers to collect me!). Probably a bit late for you.

Yeah will ideally be there and into town a bit sharper than that.
