Let's get this locked off kids. The guys who went on this trip are now rubbing our faces in it. It's beginning to offend my delicate South African disposition.:lol:

Don't worry I will bore you to death on Sunday with the full trip, I would give you a shot by shot account but I am trying to forget what happened at Murcar

Don't forget to tell him all about your Basil Patridge moment at Carnoustie and your hatred for rain covers :thup:

Just to continue to bore the rest of the world with our tales, Murcar's 4th green, lurking just to the left of this picture was the scene of, I think, a first for me. Never before have I hit the same green 4 times in the playing of one hole.
1) a lovely 6 iron approach which landed on the green but unjustly slithered off the right hand side.
2) leaving a flop shot off a scabby path (of non-Trump quality) up a steep 10 foot bank with the wind behind. I played this, I thought, wonderfully well, high and soft and it apparently landed right by the hole (I couldn't see anything) and then rolled (was blown) and rolled and rolled off the front right edge of the green. :angry:
3) This left a testing bump and run up the slope against the gale to the pin on the upper plateau. Well it made the green (visit number 3) but it either bumped too much or ran not enough and trundled back off the front edge again.
4) and so the putter came out and a sharp rap was administered which left the ball finally at rest on the putting surface for visit number 4.
Thanks to my playing partners for not sniggering, or at least the wind noise stopped me hearing it.
Stupid game - loved it.

Hogan's alley was just a driver and wedge for me...

I did that for about 14 out of the 18 holes, I have never hit so many bunker in one round.

Didn't you still get 31 points too. It must be all that practice you do at your home course.

Are you paperboy in disguise?
I only had one all day, after laying up short on the 18th. In it plopped into Barrie's burn 😭😭

Game Golf gave me 164 yards with my push/sliced drive after a downwind 210 yards with 4 iron on 5th. Didn't feel like it after two more 3 woods bunker shot & a couple of stabs. Brutal!

Give us a write up on the other 17 holes, as well Ian.....
I think is a top three contender for "trump trip - ultimate gaffs".
Juniors 7 putt and RickG's 6 putt on a massive green, are the other contenders - anyone else?
