Trump int'l / Carnoustie, April/May 2016

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.

Its quite flat, Carnoustie (thank god), but when the barry burn kicks in, and the wind gets up - its not called carnasty for nothing.

The last 4 holes are one of the hardest finishes in golf - its great fun though.

Don't forget to pack your wool....;)

I guarantee it will be a better day to play, than when I played there. The locals were laughing at us for going out, and we were the only golfers on the course. Wasn't going to waste my green fee even if it killed me.;)

Your defo from the north Rich, Damn right you want full value for money :D
 
Just paid my £125 deposit to the account details included on the PM i received from Peter. Very excited about this trip - April 2016 can't come quick enough!
 
Carnasty is brilliant fun, I've played it in every weather type. Remember hitting driver, 3 wood, 5 iron into the 17th then 3 wood, lob wedge into 18th on one occasion :eek:

Welcome on board, Steve.

We have our first Welshman - he'll have to see if he's picked for the gaels or the NW, anyone want to fight over him.....;)

yes, last time i was there, i hit driver and wedge on 16, drive and a chip on 17, then Driver, 2 iron, 5 iron. off the back tee's though.
 
Can you confirm that you got my deposit Birchy mate? Cheers

Same here for me, it went out of my account the very second I clicked confirm this morning. So assuming banks are still the shysters they have always been, it will probably hit Birchy's account a week on Wednesday. Whilst in the mean time the banks accumulate interest on it. Rob dogs.
 
Just had a thought which may be silly, but I'll mention it anyway.

As we know Rick Shiels and Pete Finch have just started collaborating with GM on their you tube channels. And Rick and Pete do lots of course vlogs. And they are very good. And Rick stated that he loved Trump and Carnoustie in the latest Monday night golf show. So is it worth GM possibly approaching them to see if they will do a course log whilst we are all there? Kind of cross brand fertilisation or what ever Perfect Curve would call it.

As long as they go out at the back of the field! I've heard them and guests say it takes ages with the filming.

They have already done Carnoustie and Trump would not let them film,but they were allowed photos.
