Sten Guns Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm looking to play golf on Monday and have 4 courses in mind. Liberton Dunblane Bridge of Allan Tuliallan. Any of those you'd recommend? Only played Liberton. Cracking wee course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm looking to play golf on Monday and have 4 courses in mind. Liberton Dunblane Bridge of Allan Tuliallan. Any of those you'd recommend? Played 2 - Liberton and Tulliallan. Really enjoyed Liberton. Tulliallan is fairly long, or it just seemed it the day we played. It was the Saturday of the Open at St Andrews that was abandoned for wind. Dunblane is meant to be a cracking course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 What's the Golf Shop at Dalry like these days? I've not been for over 15 years. The Golf Centre. No idea but it's incredible that it's still a viable business in the Internet age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Camazzola Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The Golf Centre. No idea but it's incredible that it's still a viable business in the Internet age. That's what I was wondering. I passed it recently and was amazed it was still open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 My 2 vintage Ping putters arrived. I shouldn't have bothered with the Rite-In as I can't see me taking to that. Love the A-Blade though. Bevelled sole and swan-neck shaft off-set. Slightly elongated face. Beautifully weighted and balanced and nicely regripped with a chunky Lamkin pistol grip. Feels great to swing. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Had a 30 min putting session after work. Patchy. It feels heavier on the green and putting balls. Needs a while to get used to so that can wait until next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elshin Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Reading this thread with interest. After 8 years i took up golf again in the past few montha. Was never that great and not had a handicap before. Played around 12 times in the past 3 months and broke 100 at haddington last week so now onto the pursuit of breaking 90. Really trying to think about the game, my swing, how to play a course. Hoping to join 9hole gifford next year and get myself a handicap.

The putting green alone is worth the green fee Greens are always pristine, everything is tbh, it is set up very fair, my best score is +2, 74. Too many great holes to mention! Enjoy!

Victorian Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Last medal. Tough conditions with the wind and zero run. Mud balls all over the place. Had a reasonable score going but it fizzled out. Finished with a tap-in birdie that I could have done with in the previous comp. 30 points.
