StSow Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Really enjoyed Longhirst this morning. The course played 7100 yards from the very back pegs used by the Europro tour the past week. Horrendous start, +5 through 4 holes. -2 for the next 14. 34 pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 One of the small tours use it regularly. If we ever meet i can tell a story about the gaming machine in the bar Haha, I remember playing the machine at my local club when I was a nipper, it was obviously broken, every time I stuck a quid in I'd drop it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Haha, I remember playing the machine at my local club when I was a nipper, it was obviously broken, every time I stuck a quid in I'd drop it Playing Peterculter on Monday. Royal Deesides neighbour at a fraction of the cash. Always lush. Final test before the works Open on Friday unfortunately at Kemnay. Nice but pesky trees everywhere.

hmfc_liam06 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Some shooting StSow! 34 points for me today. Playing pretty well but having 2 or 3 absolute stinking holes per round. Killing my chances! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Camazzola Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Played a round at Dalmahoy thus weekend. First time I've played there in years but I was a bit underwhelmed. A lot if the tee boxes are uneven an a bit rutted. The greens were a bit on the slow side too but possibly may have been down to them not being cut at the weekend. A couple of nice holes but none that really stood out. I got a cheap deal but wouldn't pay full rates for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound too great, the rates for fairly bog standard courses in Edinburgh is incredible. I'm off to Ballumbie Castle in a couple weeks, looks a decent challenge!

Armageddon Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Club Championship 3rd round 75 = 41 stableford points. Dougie bogey 7 in there, steady for the rest, putter was working very well. Bunker shot from 110 yards and holed the putt being a highlight. Here's my card EDIT - not sure why it says I hit a 3hy on 9, hit a 6 both times!

Hopeman, and onto Borough Briggs next Tuesday for me, the perfect day Course was in superb condition, best greens I've played on this year. That water section can go **** itself though I enjoyed Hopeman, not the best course in the world but good challenge, especially the back 9. The par 3 (12th I think) is superb and the closing hole is good, cracking 2nd shot into the green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irufushi Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 To be fair, the green fee for the Old Course is ?100! Aye, I wouldn't pay that tbf. Although I had a quick look and you can get a hot deal on their site for 40 quid. (18th July) 08:30 tee time though. Cracking deal. That's why I play comps at these places 22 pound for Moray, bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 60 bangers for Moray my companion wasn't keen. One day though. 12th at Hopeman looks worth the reasonable 15 quid.

Armageddon Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Anyone played this Scottish open course, have to say, visually it looks average. Bit bland. Twice this year, can only remember one hole and it was a slight dogleg right, decent hole but I remember it because the divots were unbelievable, worst section of divoted fairway I've ever seen in my life!! The entrance road and clubhouse are shocking, it's just portacabins like Archerfield was pre-clubhouse. Give me Barassie or Dunbar any day of the week.

Played it a few years ago in the international pairs, it looks better now than it did when i played it. I can only really remember the hole along the railway track with the burn running through it. I wont say I'll never be back, but there's a fair few courses ahead of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes for all tournaments with the exception of the Masters. Just lazy from Mickelson. At least Stenson turned up.
