I thought there was some talk early doors of a team comp with 'celebrity' captains already in post ??

There was, but as we didnt have an even spread of people from Scotland+Ireland, southerners, northerners etc we're going to take a rain check.

With nothing set in stone, it might be a champion from the two Trump, and Carnoustie games (as one 3 day comp).

Might just have comps for on the day only at Murcar and Cruden, so may get creative on them two days.

Glyn and Birchy will be running the overall comp.

OK, thanks - I'm sure they'll cook up something good.

BTW, tried on 3 occasions to get a deal from Carnoustie on the accommodation but no joy.

However, me, Scouser and willby have bitten the bullet and decided to treat ourselves.
We're paying £165 for D,B and B for 3 of us in a family room - overall comp loser gets the foldaway bed.:whoo:

You can get a twin or double for as little as £64 iirc on booking.com (room only), or £85 with brekky. Dont know if these are for the gold view rooms though.

AS we're playing our free round on the Sunday evening, we thought go for this as can go in have our tea, and walk from the room straight onto the tee for the next day.

The premier inn is a very cheap option (£37 per room????), but for those that want a treat, it was a special thing to wake up, open the curtains and see the 1st and 17th tee and 16th and 18th green below you, as we had a few years ago.

So if anyone else fancies it, jump on before the rooms go, or get on the premier inn rooms (Broughty ferry, which is only about 5 miles away), before they go.

The winner should get the foldaway bed to avoid your bear snores in the twin room :) :) :) :)

Good heads up this. In fact so good me and Birchy have just booked two nights, golf view room, breakfast and complimentary lube for the princely sum of £126 for two nights (£31.50 each per night). Did it through Expedia. Direct via Carnoustie and it was £240, lol.
