You'll have to pay a lot more money to play them any other time........ You can just play trumps if you like (twice), Carnoustie and the others are optional.

Socialists are more than welcome, although the southerners may throw you out of their team........

Will be on its way.

Hey, by all means call me a yoghurt knitting communist. But don't you dare call me a southerner.

I was brought up near Mansfield and now live in Nottingham, definitely not in the south (unless I suppose you live in Scotland, but we'll ignore those for the time being). Southerner, I ask you, do I sound like a soft lad that drinks shandy?

I most humbly apologise, calling someone a southerner without knowing is downright bad form.

Mansfield,eh - if we get enough from Liverpool and Beirut, you can join our team.;)

For those prevaricating, a forummer has posted a review of Murcar links and some cracking photos, here:-

This place may be for the Friday round........:thup:

Looks like I will be flying up early Friday, and flying back late Tuesday. Want to play as much as possible with the forum lads and lasses. Am I right in thinking we are still looking for somewhere to play on the Friday afternoon, but that most will be leaving after golf at Carnoustie on Monday ? If so I will look into perhaps playing Aberdeen on the Tuesday.

If there is still a decent crowd around for Tuesday golf, will look to play with them as long as it is local to Aberdeen so we can catch our flight.

We can get some really cheap BA flights at the moment, though they are likely to go up significantly nearer the time. Will look to book up with Wookie/Topoftheflop and any one in the area that wants to do the same flights.

Don't want to tread on any of the organizers toes, so please tell me if I have got anything wrong.

Hi Rich,

Confirmed/loose ideas, as follows:-

Thursday afternoon - Cruden bay (big saving) and for the main course and the 9 hole course included - Cant confirm for a few months.

Friday - still negotiating with Murcar.

Saturday - Trump int'l - confirmed

Sunday - Trump int'l - confirmed

Bank hol Monday - Carnoustie championship (9 ish onwards), *****Carnoustie free 2nd round on buudon or burnside course ******

****** This can be played on the Monday afternoon around 3.30 (no later than 3.52), or on the Tuesday morning. ********

Carnoustie to confirm in August.

Most courses dont open their diaries until around october/November, but Trump have confirmed, Carnoustie will hopefully in August, others as they open their diaries, but they are obviously aware of our major interest.

Good lad, Cruden looks great, and after seeing Murcar's pictures, that looks awesome.

I think its a holiday were if your up that way, you may as well get as many of the top tracks in as poss. Shame we couldn't talk Royal Aberdeen round, but I've played there anyway.;)

Totally agree, and more than happy to go with the organisers choices. I will have to start planning my training regime to get through six rounds of golf, once I have finished my Peroni.:whistle:

Shaping up great :whoo:. Only problem is it is 11 months away - on second thoughts that will give time for the wind to die down.

Each to their own, if people fancy going somewhere else/its a bit rich/if they want a day off/ not do the whole trip, no problem.

The more the merrier though, and if we get 20-30 on the Thursday and Friday venues, we should also get great deals.

Shush, I've told the southerners that its 30 degrees every day, and no wind in April/May.

Whereas, we all know its 30mph winds and no sun.....

Carnoustie is renowned as one of the Open rota's more difficult courses and has reduced Garcia to tears. And I'm a happy hacker who will no doubt play off the wrong tees too far back just to save face. So what can possibly go wrong?;)

I'm in, deposit winging it's way through the information super highway to Birchy's bank account as we speak. And I'm off to find out the course record, just in case.
