SMcoolJ Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Went on a golfing activities week with Richie in 1999 I think. He was in 4th year when I was in 2nd year. Great lad and good laugh. Never looked down on anybody.. He even stopped for a yap at Castle Stewart a couple of years ago during his practice round He played off 4 when he was 15 Aye, he's a very decent lad. His wife is about to drop any minute now - she's a cracker too. Doing really well for himself but never forgotten where he comes from. Funnily enough, like the rest of the rest of us, he's aghast at the recent changes at Royal Aberdeen (where he was, and still is, a member).

Was in decent Nick today,few bunkers were gur due to water,but absolutely nothing can be done about that. The wind changed direction so many times,we were really struggling for club selection,but it was just a bounce game,so no harm done. Roos leap afterwards was tremendous.

Major reconstruction planned over the next few years. Hope they manage to keep it as good as it is at present. It's a great course. The 17th is one of my favorite holes anywhere.

macy37 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I actually think the changes will enhance the course. It needs done as the land is disappearing into the sea. Played Goswick this morning and it's amazing how much water is lying on the course. It was in fine condition nonetheless. If that place is holding water it shows how wet other courses will be!!

I've heard that there has been a change of plan and he major reconstruction talked about, probably isn't going to happen now, well not in the near future anyway. It's going to cost too much. They are now planning more minor changes in the areas which are in most imminent danger of disappearing. They are trying to find funding for more longer term measures.

Larky Masher Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Got lessons for my Christmas so went for first one on Friday, apparently my grip is fine and everything else is a disaster waiting to happen with my draw actually being a hook. Next three lessons are going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any consolation your grip being fine is a real bonus - easily the hardest thing to have to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to be positive and take a fine tune perspective though it seems more like major surgery however the videos and flightscope don't line (it's really brilliant reinforcement) and I at least have a clear picture of where I need to get to.

Larky Masher Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 First round of the season yesterday at The Glen in North Berwick, smashing day for golf and played OK apart from a run of 4 bad (very bad) holes in the middle of the round. Golf show and Gold Cup day-out on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMcoolJ Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Played Moray Old and "New" at the weekend. They don't get anything like the credit they deserve. Both courses are better than Cruden Bay (probably second only to Meldrum House as the most over hyped course I've played) and the Old is better than many others on the East Coast. Cracking deals available and Lossie is a great place to stay for a wee break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larky Masher Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 First medal round today 6 over after 12 (which is good for me) then the wheels came off in a spectacular fashion as I hit about 2 good shots in the last 6 holes and around 37 bad ones.

dandydunn Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Nothing for me this week. Working today and football tomorrow,which makes my course impossible to play on. Had to rearrange Carrick last week because of the weather,so got that to look forward to on Saturday. I did however spank balls at the range today and regripped my 60 degree vokey.

If you can I'd give the Carrick a few weeks to dry out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
