over the moon with me card and been in No1 golf place ever since on the ale
The wind was a fucker all day had to keep it really low off the tee.
missed a 6 foot for birdie on 18 ...... loads of people watching

WHAT AN EXPERIANCE!!

Anyone on here who plays golf will understand

I'll scan me card and put it as me screen saver
Off to Anstruther tomorrow (with hang over) and play proper links golf and then eat the best fish and chips in the world

Cheers,
Jim.

 

Spot on... I've not long started playing golf and shot an 87 round my local 18-hole course (not far from St Andrews) and almost shit myself with joy. That score at the Old Course is pretty special, well done mate.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Well done mate!

Used to go to St Andrews every year as a kid.

 

Your up my neck of the woods!!

My parents live right next to the dukes course!!

Im sure a member of the rsoc is the pro their.

Hope the weather dies down for you tomorrow. There is nothing worse playing a links course on a windy, pissy day.

 

Well done!!!

 

Whats the par?

 

That's a hell of a score with the wind up!

 

well done m8, i'm off to fife next month with 15 m8's for our annual scotish golf trip, this is out 9th year

would love to play the old course one day..
bet you had your piccy taken on the swilkan bridge?

steve

 

A truely amazing feet Jim!

Even though you shot a 76 I bet you where gutted to miss the birdie put???? Be honest!!ha ha

I don't think some people will every know how good of a score you have just shot on that course alone, NEVER mind the weather conditions!

Especially when you go to watch the pro's play there and they struggle to make 80!

How long are you up there for?

I am going to Lower Largo, Fife this Saturday for a week of mainly links golf. I can't wait!!!

We are not going to St.Andrews but we are playing around the area. 6 rounds of golf, 7 nights, 1 presentation and a few bevvies!! ha ha

 

Still a game i cant get used to or find any enthusiasm for

 

excellent! its a good enough experience just playing the course im sure, never mind playing well

its weird being there without the grandstands etc as it looks rather "normal"

 

great score, did you have the caddie go round with you ?!?!

i could do with some low hanicap players off here to play different courses round the country

 

very well done mate
out of interest whats your handicap?

 

if thats good well done if its bad never mind im sure you will get better with practice.

 

Cracking score there ,my father has played the course many times and i remember walking around the course at Troon many years back watching him whilst on holiday

 

Indeed he is!!!!! Big ron is his username on here!!!!

Its weird reading about folk visitin areas nearby.....cos its just so bloody normal that you don't expect to read about it!!!! lol

I stay in ANSTRUTHER........and the chippy isn't all its cracked up to be!!!!!


Its a small world!!!!

 

Nice one Jim i would be over the moon with that.

I really cant wait to get out of the RAF so i can plan some golf Holidays again. I am hopefully playing the Belfry in October and would love to just shoot my handicap around there.

P.S. My mate finished 9th on is 2nd tour event last week.

 

cheers all, absolutely knackered now . couldn't follow that score today
i'm blaming it on last nights beer.

The youth.... Yes mate, got my pic on the bridge (its the rules )

Rs Darren .... hope you have a good one mate, sure you will. We also come up here every year. love it. Was gutted about the put on 18 tbh.
So many people watching

Danneth.... Didn't have a caddy this year mate. Played it before and had a bag carrier. They dont know the course like proper caddies tho.

tomhs123....... handicap is 7 mate

Nash..... Thanks mate. You'll love the Brabazon, fantastic course. Your mate done well there. Wish him all the best.

Jim.

 

are you off scratch? Thats a proper score!

 

ah 7 just read!

 

I actually live at Winterfield Golf Club in the flat in the big main building in Dunbar, East Lothian if any of you have played there ??

And i dont even play golf but live where most folk would dream off


I will get round the course maybe one day to see if i like it

 

Played there for the last two years on the Scotland trip I go on! A great little course! Very tough first hole

Also like the holes over the road when you go out to the beach. We stayed in the hotel that is near the Dunbar golf club road? can't remember the name now....Globles?? something like that?

Some fantastic course around your area of the world!

 

what is the par for the course then?

 

72 mate

 

Jim if you have any time off the back end of August and fancy a knock let me know. I have 2 weeks off so may aswell make the most of it.

That goes for you aswell Daz, we get that game at some point mate.

 

well up for that mate, i play at Trentham Park (used to be at Wychwood but although it's a nice course i thought the members not very friendly tbh)

I'll pm you closer to the time mate, i'm going away for a fortnight on the 30th August tho.

 

Not bad at all Jim, 76 in a breeze is a fairly good whack round there.
I have a season ticket for the Links and used to play it every night after work! Like everythin you get fed wi it eventually but you always look forward to holes 1, 17 and 18.

I work up there as it's been mentioned above, i work for The Old Course Hotel (the big buildin you whacked it at on 17!!!lol)
We have our own course that i'm the pro at again as someone has mentioed, think there spying!!

Been a little breezy this week i played the new Castle course that opens at the weekend on Mon/Tuesday past and it was a little tricky.

Hope you enjoy yir chips! As Jake-Cos lists no all it's cracked up to be, we stay down there yi see.

enjoy the rest o yir golf.

YOUTH - Your comin to gods country to play golf and you never even called me for a knock or a beer!!
Maybe see you at Croft on Sunday? Were headin down on Sat morn (Me & Jake)

MARTINVRS - pop yir head by the next time yir passin if the Focus is sittin in the car park.

Cheers

 

excellent score mate, well done!!

 

Played it a few times mate, best played to is 6 i think around there but thats a few years back now. Can either play there or come over to Crewe if you want mate, or both.

I have the last 2 weeks in August off so i will give you a shout mate.

 

 

Great Idea mate

I can have a day or two to go for a knock. As long as i goive a few day notice to the boss?

So we'll have to sort it next month. Looking forward to it!

 

Hi Ron,

seen as you are the pro in the area you may be able to help me out with a bit of advice. We are coming up to Scotland tomorrow for a week playing 6 courses in the fife/lower largo area. On sunday we are playing Ludin Links, we are all really looking forward to this as it's mean't to be a cracker of a course. But what the internet says and what it is is two different things?

Is it any good?

Sorry to hijack!!!

 

Ron
I never knew you were a golf pro! nice!
i'll be at croft so will say hello if i spot you

 

Big Ron

You got pm

 

To be honest one o my favourites, good test, always in great nick and has some crackin holes, good mix.
You should try Leven Links as well and come visit me i'll do you a deal!!
Why visit the rest when you can come to me and play the best!!!!!!

 

Pretty much the reaction i get!!
See you Croft, you won't miss me!!

 

Back at yi

 

Ron until this post I had no idea thats what you did!!! been playing golf for 15 years now, played in scotland every summer for 9 years, played southerness, colvend,cardrona,north berwick,the glen,troon and gullane to name a few.. all great courses with some stunning holes..

steve

 

Would it be the Bayswell Hotel your thinking off maybe ??

 

we always stop on the boarders on the way up and have a round. This year we stayed in peebles (too many tennants ) then up early in the morning and played cardrona. Cracking course, really enjoyed it. Then its off to the forth bridge.

Love golf in Scotland, look forward to it every year.
