Ron Swanson Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Played Ballumbie Castle up in Dundee on Saturday. Ok course, some tricky holes with some huge elevations, really nice clubhouse. They have their own 'Amen Corner' at 10/11/12. First is a par 4, big dogleg right with 2 burns cutting across at the corner then a big pond in front of the green. Laid up to the corner with an easy hybrid then hit an 8 iron flush on the flag...only for my ball to skelp a staked sign at the front of the green (who puts a sign at the front of the green?!) and propel off at 45 degrees straight into the pond. Raging! Played there for a few years when I was up in Dundee. Don't think I ever mastered the 3rd hole. Very much like the coffin at West Lothian. Not a bad stretch for the money. Very clique though... Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Clubhouse was fantastic, really nice deck overlooking the course. Yeah the 3rd hole is tough, especially not knowing the course. Walked away with a 5 after my tee shot landed in a wee rut in the rough. The 18th is a tough closing hole ain't it? Sliced onto the first, was short with a 7 to the green and landed in the bunker, shanked it out the bunker and run up then back down the hill at the back of the green...drained the par putt, worst par of my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Liberton greens were really receptive, but trying to judge the pace was something. And what was that 9th hole all about, fairway just dropped off them the green was there For those who've never played the course, the one benefit you get from 9th is you pass it when entering the main drive and see the slope running down to the green. No benefit if you accessed the course via the back entrance at Kingston Avenue though. The 9th is a risk reward. Either take a 3 wood and go for the green or just take a mid iron to leave a (blind) wedge. The fairway isn't the widest and heavily tree-lined so accuracy is key.

richiehmfc Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Unlucky mate, it's a strange game, anything can happen. I really need to ask how you managed a 9 on the 3rd at West Lothian? Was in the green side bunker in two, thinned one about 20 yards over the green into bushes. Had to drop one in the bunker, left it in then thinned it out much the same as the first but found my 2nd, had to hack it out then chip onto the green and holed a 15ft putt for 9. My head was away after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
