Samuel Camazzola Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 10 hours ago, That thing you do said: So, after 2 days of golf heres my honest opinion being there. The team element is much more pronounced this year. More players wearing the team badge and there were groups of fans for specific teams. I like the team element alot. Crowds: id estimate around 15 to 20k over the 3 days. Pretty similar to mayakoba PGA tournaments. Fan experience: Fun, but much more could be done especially engagement beyond the tournament. Course: Stunning. Best Golf: Great long put for Birdie by Brooks Keopka we were at front of Gallery Best Moment: Raccoons stopping play on 17. Following Poulter and Smith on Saturday. Some great shots. Broadcasting: moved from You Tube to Live Golf Plus App for free viewing. It is televised in 20 countries now inc via Claro in Mexico. Go again: I would. My wife preferred the experience here to The Open at Carnoustie. More the weather and backing her team than prestige obviously. I do think theres more for fans to do when you include the free concert in the evening and interactive games. I thought it would have happened this year but I expect the Trump International (Aberdeen) to get its foot into the pro game via LIV in the coming seasons. I think there are three Trump owned courses on the calendar this season. With some decent pricing and a sensibly timed slot, it would attract the crowds. There will be a host of new big names added so the series is only going to snowball going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very short and very hilly. a number of the holes with small square greens cut into the hillside. When firm can be very difficult as you need to allow massively for the slopes. Some brilliant views, and a couple of nice holes. I remember a par 3 played from the top of a hill to a green way below. Helps if you have one leg shorter than the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in his time they dropped it as it was never as well attended as SEC. DC Thomson must have revived it, albeit briefly it seems.

Any info on it from those that have played it. Are you thinking of the Lyndoch course? They done away with the holes from the higher ground and retained 10 of them. 2 to 9 was played in a loop of two and 1 and 18 were kept. A shame as there were some great homes up the hill. The bigger course was certainly open last year but not heard anything about it bei G closed ( unless it was for the winter for protection or maintenance).

Any info on it from those that have played it. Think it was closed for a spell during covid Tommy Played it a number of years ago, fairly typical parkland course with a few ups and downs. Well positioned trees or maybe i was having a bad day🙁 Holes that stuck in the mind were a 90degree par 5, a nice short par four with a pond in front, and the first hole a bit of a slog up the hill. Worth a visit if they have got it back into good nick. Enjoy if you go. nb There were two courses from memory, I have only played the longer one.
