Not played it this year but I have played it loads - it's not the easiest of walks, especially when its wet, it can be a bit of a brute. Greens were always known to be very good but last time I played it I was a bit disappointed. I'm sure @Samuel Camazzola is/was a member there.

hmfc_liam06 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 The question is, who would genuinely be up for it? Realistically we need a minimum of 8-10, with a sweet spot of 16-20. If folk put their names forward I'd be more than happy to look into it. It would likely be Edinburgh/Fife for ease of access for majority.

hmfc_liam06 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Some rough idea of costs after a quick glance at some Fife courses. All include breakfast rolls, 18 holes and a 2 course meal.

Disser Pointon Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) I'd be interested if the date suited. Think we could do better than those 3 though although I quite like Aberdour..

Certainly Pitreavie and Aberdour with them being on the train route, if folk didn't want to drive and have a bevvy and they're all just over the bridge if folk were to drive. I also don't drive, and I'm Fife based so if I'm going to the trouble of arranging then.... To be honest, course is usually secondary at these things. As long as they're in good nick, which you'd expect so given we'd probably be looking at next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to run a society, we finished up about 8 years ago because I’d had enough. Even then prices for average places were creeping up to the £50 mark. Reality is you’re probably looking at £60+ for an outing unless a member gets us a class deal. It’s not easy, and guess that’s why it’s never happened again.

Pasquale for King Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Rahm quite young to retire, hope he enjoyed his 3 Ryder Cups.

OBE Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Rahm:- Basque-born Rahm said the money he was being offered by LIV was "great" but maintained that he does "not play golf for the money". He continued: "I play golf for the love of the game and for the love of golf. I'm an ambitious person but I'm not a greedy one. Ok, of your £450 mill signing on fee, take 10 and give the rest to charity, already a multi-millionaire...boak! 🤢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statts1976uk Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I wonder what's going to happen to the journeymen who joined LIV, will they be welcomed back onto the main tour? Will they have to earn Tour cards etc? Some of them will have earned more in two years than 10 years on the Tour so will probably be OK.

They are on the wane and unlikely to provide as much commercial presence as Rahm and who ever will follow him. If another couple of major winners or Top 20 players sign up then I can see some of the older boys heading to the scrapheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Camazzola Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Westwood and Poulter will have earned more in two seasons of LIV than they would achieve in 20 years of the Champions Tour. No-brainier for them at this stage of their careers. Will see what develops with the Ryder Cup too as I wouldn't be surprised to see the stance soften since Koepka played for the US and now with Rahm.

Mikey1874 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Whether or not that was any part of Jon Rahm's intention, this surely will hasten an agreement between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf certainly helping the latter. I would guess the terms of an agreement are already drafted but its the usual sticking points to finish. Bets on Rahm playing the next Ryder Cup maybe worth a look.

OBE Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The games no straight, shipped 9 shots in winter singles comp. Shot scratch 69, got beat 2&1. Opponent was in 4 bunkers, all of which were "GUR", each time his nearest point of relief was to the side of the bunker, thus eliminating the hazard of playing over the bunker...winter golf sucks. Wished him good luck in the next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That thing you do Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 For those of you still unsure about LIV Im heading back to Mayakoba for a second year to see Rahmbo make his LIV debut. Last year at the day one shotgun start we got to talk to Brooks Koepka as he was heading for the tee prior to the pre start dance entertainment. Will be heading to the tee early again this year to either Cam Smith or Rahm. I personally love the team format and the whole LIV experience. Hoping for a good season for my team, the fireballs.
