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.

Go for it, if you want.

There in the last group with Scouser though, if they do. That'll put them off golf for life.

Trump won't allow SkyCaddy to map the course either. There is only a Member Mapped Course available.

Isn't Fish going? If so then surely he can sneak his skycaddy measuring gear in with him and do it on the quite on the 1st day. May be have it as an 'under the counter' course. Then the next day those of us with skycaddies will be sorted.;)

I'm sure others may have more experience than me, but really struggled once to get accommodation in Aberdeen when I was working there for a couple of days a few years ago. Ended up paying a kings ransom as it was a bit last minute. So as I am very excited about playing Trump and I am a bit sad in that I like to get things sorted ASAP, I've booked somewhere for me already near the city centre where the prices are not too bad. Sad but true.

Also may have missed it but was there a suggested place to stay before the Carnoustie round? As in in Carnoustie itself, or possibly Dundee for some nice cake or Arbroath for a nice smokie?

Travel and hotels are down to the individual overall, so don't blame you.

Now we have all the courses prices sorted (but still subject to date confirmation), we will have a look into accom to see if we can get a deal in the coming month or so, but anyone who wants to sort their own, no problem.

For Carnoustie, there are a few hotels, but I may look into a place called Broughty ferry, which is a small seaside place that is in between Dundee and Carnoustie. Its not a bad little place.

Ha! Try as it might to separate itself from the sprawl of the city and appear above its station, the Ferry will always be a suburb of Dundee. ;) It's only a 5-10 minute taxi ride from the city centre.

Seriously, it's a good place to stay, good number of decent pubs and various nice food options. You can't really go wrong there.
