Uphall & Niddry Castle are having monthly Winter Opens. That will keep in involved this winter, in all my years, I have virtually played no golf at this time of year. If anyone of any other opens (pref Links), please post HI there, The Glen hold a weekly open stableford during the winter ( Thursday) www.glengolfclub.co.uk Cheers.

Samuel Camazzola Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Liam, when you visited the Roxburghe this season, where did you stay and is it recommended? Also, where did you play for your additional round(s)? Going back next season but arranging to stay down that way this time. Cheers in advance.

We stayed in Kelso, The Black Swan. It was like walking through a time warp when we walked in but it was fine, room was ok for £45. We played Kelso as part of the Bunkered deal, it was a bit...shite tbh. I wouldn't bother playing there. We also played Hirsel, that wasn't a Bunkered deal but it's a really nice course.

It's not too far a drive away. Will see what hotels are within the vicinity although a Travelodge would do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyprus Jambo Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Have we all stopped playing during the winter - no posts for 2 weeks!!!! Oh well, I got cut the other day as we have winter medals, back to how I started the season - 12. Missed winning by 2 shots - which was the 2 shots it cost me for losing a ball in the leaves, just off the fairway and no more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Great to see Tiger back and scoring well, 2 duffed chips and a pushed drive = penalty shot weren't that bad, wondering if the fused back will maybe hold him together better then ever. Kilspindie for me tomorrow, luckily been able to play links golf every Saturday for the last 5 weeks, just playing once a week and I can see a difference in my consistency.

Armageddon Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Managed my best round for a while yesterday at Kilspindie. One missed green and a 3 putt resulted in a double bogey on the front 9, couple of birdies on the back 9 kept it on track. Nothing spectacular, driving straight, hitting greens and a decent touch with the putter. Scratch 70 less 9 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 One shot I've never ever had is the bump and run, it's always a lottery and I only play it if I have to bump under a tree. So, the last 4 weekends I decided that I would only play 7 irons in to every green unless I had to flick it over something, the difference at the weekend was night and day, rolling it close most times and giving myself a chance. The bump and run - that's my shot of 2018! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StSow Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Not looked at a golf club for nearly 3 weeks but back at it in the morning. A cool -3 degrees forecasted at the start will make the frosty course complete guesswork. Not a day for thinning irons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday is displayed as £30 and next Saturday is £35. Contact them direct as £25 might be possible if you ask. They usually hand out business cards to visitors with 20% discount codes on them too so just mention you had one but have misplaced it...

John mcCartney Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 yeah nice one samuel,hadnt looked at accessing via tee off etc.....altho it be worth calling them if they are doing a deal with those sites/time favoured. i had a bit bov with that site last year, a time booked at another course made that didnt exist.....

hmfc_liam06 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Can’t say I’ve ever had any other bookings via teeofftimes. Although the Fairnont definitely have pushed their winter prices up this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most places will offer the same deal without having to commit to the voucher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armageddon Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Re the Fairmont I'd be phoning the shop and asking what's the best deal they can do, I'd also tell them you played in the Troon Trophy last year and couldn't commit to play again this year (that was the offer of £125 for 5 rounds and you submitted 5 stableford scores, then then offered the £25 a round deal for any further rounds you wanted).

StSow Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 blew Away the cobwebs around eyemouth in a pairs open today. Played decent but nowhere near good enough I’d guess. Course was playing very long into the stiff breeze but it’s in pretty good nick considering and the greens are a nice pace to putt on for the time of the year.

hmfc_liam06 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 So it’s the end of 2017, what has been the highlights for everyone this year? I’ve managed to play some superb courses this year, definite highlights for me are the Kings at Gleneagles, Boat of Garten and my first ever round abroad at Golf del Sur. Hopefully 2018 is even better, already have a round at Trump International planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll enjoy Trump Aberdeen, I'm looking forward to Turnberry this year, haven't played it since the changes and also lucky enough to have another year's membership at Gleneagles which I never tire of.
