Since Ernie's meltdown at the Masters, I've been surprised at how many folk I have heard about 4 putting and 5 putting. It's almost like it's suddenly become trendy. All the cool kids do it........ 90 for me today,including a 7,8 and 10. Net 148 hopefully enough to get me into the handicap championship,fingers crossed. Absolutely lashed with rain from holes 7-11,would've walked if I didn't have to enter a card,then the sun came out,waterproofs off,top off and playing in a tshirt. I love golfing in Scotland in the summer Edited May 22, 2016 by dandydunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibelieve!!! Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Had a lesson a couple of days ago. Near the end of the lesson took the driver out, immediately he told me my shoulders were out of line. I then proceeded to hit the straightest drives I've ever hit in my life! Looking forward to trying it on the course tomorrow, and then Castle Stuart on Thursday.

I've been having lessons and it's been the best money I've spent especially using the Trackman the feedback from that is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibelieve!!! Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Well that lesson was money well spent (well I got it for a present but still!). by far and away my best round ever. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke and I'll get a few more low scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as 9 holes courses go this is one of the better ones. Just need the rain the bugger off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibelieve!!! Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Castle Stuart was amazing yesterday. As you'd expect with the Scottish Open their shortly it is in great condition. Course wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, only lost 2 balls so happy with that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designed for corporate golfers - wide open off the tee so that everyone feels involved, has fun and isn't looking for balls constantly. Can be tricked up a little with pin placements etc, but if the wind doesn't blow, the pro's will destroy it. Really enjoyable place to go though, would definitely recommend.

Angus_Young Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 A game at Royal Alva tomorrow. First club I ever joined about 20 years ago. Not somewhere I could play every week, but as it's a one off, quite looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, think that description sums it up perfectly. Looking forward to the Scottish Open returning in a few weeks, hopefully get some windy conditions!
