For those that don't know Green Craig https://www.onthemarket.com/details/711910/ There's a house very similar next to it but it's an absolute wreck. The last few weekends the number of walkers hitting the coast was fairly decent ... Sorry, should've explained my uncertainty regarding the thousands of walkers. The sanctuary that Kilspindie constantly provides, why would you want to spoil it by enticing thousands to a half way house/café to make a bomb? You are aware that Kilspindie is already cash rich? The club is also in the envious position along with a handful of other clubs in East Lothian that still have a waiting list. The club received near on a quarter of a million pounds back from vat that was improperly added to visitors green fees and tour operator costs over the last ten years. Being a club, I'm sure Kilspindie has restrictions on how much profit it can make each year, staying within these limits attract a few finacial benefits...allegedly.

hmfc_liam06 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Cracking round at Kirkcaldy this morning. A new PB was on the cards, was +8 with 4 holes to play (PB is +10) but ended up dropping 6 shots over those last 4. Still a 3 under handicap round and starting to get into a groove in time for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dicksojo Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Starting to think I need a new set of irons (currently using mizuno mx300) and I think I’ll go for a fitting to get them. Last year I got a new driver from Scott Gourlay but I was thinking of just going to American Golf for the irons. Alternatively, I could go up to Gleneagles and get fitted for a new set of mizzys. Does anyone have any recommendations? As an aside the new Ping i500s look gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
