Was 3rd the one with a mesh fence up the left? If so, it was a bizarre set up abd I recall the 4th going up the hill. When I was at Lothianburn, the membership gave you courtesy of Torphin. As you say, a nice layout up the top. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Up a cliff face covered with tufty grass-liks vegetation. Green about 40 yards on from the top of the cliff. Dump your bag and climbing gear to the rhs of the green and go snd putt out. Climbing gear back oot for the 4th. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Brown Posted September 14 Torphin, Panoramic views once up top. Played it one evening on a beautiful night. They used to have an Open on an Edinburgh holiday Monday. Victoria Day. The wind was gale force. Mental :lol:. Seen a player, hole in one at first. His playing partner put his in a bunker. We were all confused at what was going on. He couldn't find his ball. The wind had blown the sand completely over it. two thing I hadn't seen till then, both together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Victorian Posted September 14 Another medal, another great chance of a cut slips. Standard 2 doubles including having a full meaty shank off the tee at a par3 which luckily finished in play. This was after getting a lottery win birdie from off the green. Holed a few good putts after that for a tidy score. 40+37=77-7=70 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent drama and come back having looked out of the running at times today. A lot of high quality golf. Great to see holes being played with clubs/yardages that the average club player can relate to - albeit with the accuracy and finesse of a pro player. Amazing spectacle and can only get bigger.

Tommy Brown Posted September 16 I read on Bunkered, Rory's way to deal with the slow play problem.... Drum roll....... “If you want to speed up play, cut the field sizes,” he said. “I'm in a privileged position that I can say that because I'm going to get into a field of 30 or 70. Obviously, guys that are not quite in my position would disagree with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It shut for good when I was in my thirties. Sad times. I used to know that if I could go out in 40 or better a good score was on the cards. If you played well on the back 9 you could easily come back in 3 or 4 under. You could also lose / hit balls OB by attacking too much. Great risk and reward last 9.

Tommy Brown Posted September 17 Home, pissed at myself. 35 points at Burntisland. 38 leading. Double bogeyed from the edge of the green at 15. Doubled the last for good measure. Course had its ****ing legs wide open. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy Brown Posted September 23 After 5 buffers on thr trot (ie 5 bottle crashes on the trot) a 0.5 cut yesterday. Tried my best to **** it up with 3 doubles and a triple (bogeys not nips!)

hmfc_liam06 Posted September 23 I'm probably done now for the season, competitive golf that is, will still be playing thru the winter. 17.3 to 15.2.

Follow it up with another reduction next season is the main thing. I don't have much left. One, maybe two, medals. Away outing. Home bounce match. 0.1 addition overall. Probably just one more chance to be in profit for the year. Any cut will do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I mean I'm happy I just felt it could have been more. So many rounds during that spell ruined by 1 or 2 horror holes a round and coming away with buffer.

I don't know too much about the consumer act but there are obvious differences between buying in store to online. An example is Sports Direct who only supply credit notes on returned goods unless there is a fault. However, their online arm has to offer refunds on everything.

Armageddon Posted September 30 McIlroy is a total *****, thought that for a long time now but he has just reinforced my opinion, he doesn't have an issue when he wins at -22 but takes a broad swipe at the Euro Tour course standard, he has a short memory when he fannied in an 8 on the first at Portrush then finished with a flurry of doubles, honestly, there's clearly something going on behind the scenes and I think the Euro Tour should just cut him loose rather than listening to him taking pot shots when he doesn't win. Great swing but cannie putt to save his life, seems to think he's the billy big baws. Rory - piss off you shitehouse of a brat, you do not represent golf in a good way IMO. FUD.

Irufushi Posted September 30 No danger the courses are easier on the European tour. Pga tour is a putting competition most weeks. Wide fairways and minimal rough, odd tree to manoeuvre around if you miss the fairway. He does realise that most links are taken apart unless there’s wind? (Scottish open) and the same for the dunhill which also is set up for amateur players. he’s a dick these days. Talking pish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victorian Posted September 30 Yeah that's total bollocks what he's said. Essentially his point is that European Tour events are birdie contests. Basically a pitching and putting competition. Even if that was true, it's up to the players to out-birdie the rest to win. If he's finishing 26th or 30th then he quite obviously hasn't played well enough to outscore the winner. It goes without saying. If what he says is true, he should adapt to the challenge and keep his flappy mouth in check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy Brown Posted October 3 My season finished last night in dismal fashion at Harburn Seniors. Overall, started the season at 13.0 and ended 12.2, so one lower. I'll call it a success. I know fine well it should be lower. 22 home rounds and 22 opens. Loads of great courses played for the first time. Murcar, Elie, Leven, Ladybank & Blaigowrie Landsdowne being the pick of the bunch. Winter golf here I come. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
