Well done. Only the 1 hole I'll get 2 shots off you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent them all as I go bought a rangefinder, a new titliest 3 wood, 2 vokey wedges, a taylormade tour black spider putter,a new pair of Adidas shoes,used the last of them today on new puma trousers and winter top. If I get any next year I will bank them in my local pro shop and they don't void, don't need anything now, only bought the 3 wood because I could haha.

Aye, I was in the 3rd group out and the guys we were playing with had 43, they were praying for more wind and rain because that was likely a couple short. We had 41. The greens were so much slower than last week just due to the rain in the week and we holed nothing of any length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real excuse for our score I suppose, but it was annoying. Will definitely go back! That 600 yard par 5, were you able to try and get on in 2? I had 287 left and had to lay up.

I had the chance yeah, reckon a rescue would have got there with the downwind from the right suiting my draw. Unfortunately my partner didn’t have the best lay up and he just rolled his eyes when I suggested it. 9 iron lay up it was instead. Most of of the time it’s pointless as stopping it on the green is near impossible in the summer. Not the easiest chip/pitch from the back either. 9/10 I leave myself 80ish yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Played The PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles today. Simply stunning! Easily the best course I've ever played and the condition was superb - especially for late October. The whole set up is on another level and getting to play the same track that I watched the Ryder Cup from the side made it special. For anyone who's not played it but has it on their list, don't hesitate paying the higher green fee as you'll not be disappointed. One thing for sure is that it looks easier when the holes are framed with stands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Been lucky enough to play all 3, the Queens only a few weeks ago. The PGA definitely sits in 3rd place for me, the Queens isn't the longest but the par 3's are all outstanding and then the tee shot on 18 is class! One of my favourite view in golf is looking up the first on the Kings, that gives you the correct impression of what you're about to face.
