Trump int'l / Carnoustie, April/May 2016

[Jimaroid]

Believe the hype, Trump is stunning.

Need to sleep now, first out in the morning and cannot wait. It's an awesome place. I played like a out of tune trumpet but good times were had - so many great holes and good laughs. Some hard holes, some fun holes but all brilliant.

A par 5 650 yards into a 20mph wind with 16 bunkers on it.

Fairway in regulation, green in regulation, 2 putts. 5 for 3. Don't know what all the fuss is about.

Oh no, it's getting messy again!! In the Irish nightclub, Iggy Pop on the sound system, Guiness on hand. See you in the morning boys and girls.

Another great night girls and boys! Thanks for the laughs!
See you all tomorrow.

Driving south with a nodding dog in the passenger seat. We may give Burnside a wide steer...lol

We woke Rick up & decided to play Burnside. Blowing a hooly but no dunes or gorse. Result!

 

[Jimaroid]

Apologies but after getting out the car at Carnoustie I have to admit defeat and say I'm too tired to do another 18 holes today.

Four days of hard golf is beginning to hurt and I don't want to wreck myself for tomorrow.

Well.

trump Aberdeen.

Absolutely superb. That is all.

after another round on it today I can indeed confirm its superb.

went up the 18th championship tee and it's a stunner, tough choice between the view from the championship tee on 14 and 18 to what my favourite view ever on a golf course is.

14th. Just stunning.

Best best course I have ever played by a country mile.

Back home after a great weekend. Big thanks to everyone I played with Gary, Josh, Paul, Kenny, Simon and Ben; great company and some good golf played by all... at times! And also the guys at the curry and the pub last night!

Also big thanks to the organisers, Scott, Peter and Glyn - a fantastic job creating the opportunity for all us forummers to come and play a great course (and lots of other great courses for those in the full trip). I, for one, really appreciate your efforts.

After the first round I also had it trending towards the best course I've played but after the rematch I've knocked it down a place or two. Great layout but, for me, needs to settle in a bit more and they really need to sort some of those bunkers out.

Pretty happy with my golf, I must admit, definitely a touch harder today with the stronger wind but I slipped some shots stupidly so could have been better. Best claim to fame is probably playing all 36 holes with the same ball. Anyone else not lose any?

Hope you get some decent weather tomorrow and enjoy Carnoustie!

Last to bed again in the Carnoustie hotel. Thought the northern boys had more staying power?

Found six balls whilst looking for pp's balls. I lost none. Also had 3 pars on the bounce yesterday.
