I played Carnoustie on Saturday and can safely say you lot are in for a challenge and a treat! My third attempt round there and I'm still waiting for a decent score. Was 9 over par through the first six holes - if you make mistakes or hit loose shots this course will punish you! I was 3 over for the last 12 holes but that included an eagle and two birdies so still loads of dropped shots.

Lots of trouble off the tee but it's very fair - you can see most of the hazards before you play. The wind can be the real issue - if it's very windy this course can tear you apart. We had moderate winds that played a part but could have been much worse.

I was playing a comp so didn't manage to take many pictures - just a couple while we were waiting to play....



The Spectacles - just stay out of there. I found another bunker off the tee and had to lay up short of these but a nice approach and putt gave me a rare birdie 4.



View from the 16th Tee. Possibly the world's shortest par 4 for us but one of the hardest par 3s in golf for the men. 200+ yards, bunkered and gnarly shaped green. I hit a 7 wood through the green and left an almost impossible up and down considering where they'd put the pin. My chip was nearly good but ended up running off the green after not threatening the hole. Walked off with a four.


Must admit, even though I'm only down for Trump on this trip I'm sorely tempted to pay the money for another crack at Carnoustie!!

The offensive and idiotic utterances of Trump in the televised debate between the GOP candidates, and his subsequent follow-up attempts at apologies - or not - make it difficult for me to contemplate putting any money (via green fees) his way.

 

[Birchy]

Sent your money back Val mate.

Got a couple of PM's from other guys, will sort them out too.

"Spectacles" is a looooong hard hole, isnt it Kaz.

Come on, sign up for the fullk it and kaboodle, this will be a very special meet.

Murcar and Cruden are nice entrees, if you fancy them as well.

Be that as it may, poor form for to bring it to this thread.

Not sure if it's a par 4 or 5 for you guys but a 5 for us and it's not long for a par 5 - both my PPs were in a greenside bunker in 2 shots (cunning one that catches loads of balls played over the spectacles) and I would have easily reached in 2 as well except that I drove it into a fairway bunker so had to wedge it out to just short of the spectacles and then another wedge to the green.

Different story last year - cacked the drive left (further left than the bunker!) and ended up with a 7 or 8. It's the thing with this course - very fair and playable if you tackle it sensibly but get out of position and you are battling to only drop one shot.

Truth is I'd love to come along for the whole thing next year but holidays are at a premium. I'm actually having to plan a golf "schedule" for next year as I'd like to play in some more of the SLGA order of merit events but they need more time off work so its a struggle. Don't think I'll be able to take any holidays for "social" golf. I need to go part time!

A noble protest. That'll learn him!

Are there a few pulling out of this.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Are there a few pulling out of this.

We've had 2-3 who have had to pull out due to date clashes, but we are still up around 50, I think.

We will be paying Carnoustie in the next week, so if everyone can double check, as once we've sent them the payment, it is non-refundable.

This thread jumps around a bit so as it stands what are the exact dates needed? My Outlook calender needs an update before I forget completely!
