I had a game off the medal tees at Dunbar today. I had 15 pars, 1 birdie and 1 bogey -------------- and an unexpected out of bounds at the 7th hole where I didn't even think there was any need to hit a provisional ball off the tee. It was only a bounce game but delighted with the way I played -------- for a change!
Things are looking up, well at least until the next time I play.

Great weekend of golf for me, was lucky enough to get asked to play Castle Stuart on Saturday and was at Royal Dornoch on Sunday. First time I've played Castle Stuart and my golf aside I loved the track, some stunning holes, hard to pick a favorite because they all stood out, 2 of the par 3's in particular, 4 and 11 I think were pretty special.
Only problem with playing courses like that is it really gives you the bug to get out playing and unfortunately when you get out down here the courses just don't compare!

Yesterday again i was playing quite well but not scoring great. My drives were great most of them all hit far down the fairway. Iron play wasn't quite as good, pulled them a bit. Putting was poor again though, really need to sort that out. 13th bogey, 14th birdie, 15th bogey, 16th birdie (not far off eagle), 17th bogey (3 putted from 15 feet), 18th double bogey. That's pretty much how i'm playing, way too many 3 putts or just missing greens with approach shots.
More i play more consistent my shots will get. Lot of work needed with the putter but hopefully in a few weeks will start shooting some decent scores.

Royal Dornoch is a stunning course. Never played Castle Stuart but walked round twice during the Scottish Opens. Where i live we get a discount to play it so need to take that up sometime.

I was up at the Scottish Open two years ago and got the impression that Castle Stuart was definitely playable for the handicap golfer. It wasn't too long and the fairways were generous albeit the course did have its fair share of challenges.
I used to play Royal Dornoch in their week of golf which is held in August. I think the competition was the Carnegie Shield and at the time you were guaranteed at least 3 rounds of golf for £20 which represented fantastic value for money.
They're two great courses without a doubt.

I'm fortunate to be able to get to play Dornoch quite a lot, friends live up there so get up quite a few weekends through out the year. I was also lucky to play Castle Stuart for nothing don't think I would of at £175 for the round. If you get a decent discount you should get yourself on there.

Yeah i would never pay the full amount. There is 3 times set aside a day for people from surrounding areas, it is £200 for a 4 ball so it's basically £50 for a round for me which is fantastic and well worth it.

I remember being genuinely shocked by how mmuch I stood up during my backswing and how hard I was fighting to get back into position. After a 10 minute analysis I was shown a few excercises and and practice drills and my game improved beyond recognition.

Best I've played in a long time last night, only played 9 in the end but gutted. I hate playing well gives you the urge to get out more and more. That false sense belief that you might have finally mastered the game for it all to fall apart the next time the sticks come out!

It must be the most humbling game there is and the only certainty is that no one will ever play the perfect round of golf.

Went up today and there was 3 guys on the 2nd tee, 4 ball on 2nd fairway and 4 ball on 2nd green (fairly short par 4!) and another 4 ball was not far off the 3rd tee. Saw that and thought sack it so went and did some practicing. Hit irons well on the whole but chipping is needing worked on almost as much as my putting!

Has anyone ever traded in clubs at American Golf? If so is it good value etc?
Looking for some money to be put toward a new driver. Also any recommendations for a driver suitable for a high handicapper?
