I missed out as well this year. I failed by one stroke to make it to the matchplay stage after rounds of 75 & 78.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

5 and 1/4 hour match last night as we won on 6th extra hole!!
Shot best ever on the Medal course - 73 - with 4 birdies out and 5 in total for 18. Another two birdies in the extra holes
Drained at least 6 x 25-footers + too! Opponent, a fellow Hibby in his 50s, has played for decades at Monifieth (member of two clubs and plays all the time eg 11 rounds in the last 9 days (how is that possible?!?)) said it was without doubt the best ever putting display he'd ever seen .. bit chuffed with masel! Have to say the greens are amazing - so true..
Now if I could just get a driver, I'd be sorted!

Last season, Jim44 and I had a classic tie in the four ball better ball knock out tournament. We eventually triumphed at the 10th extra hole - a real marathon and by far the longest tie I've ever been involved in.

My wife's cousin can arrange tickets to the Masters for me but I've no plans to go (for now ). I was thinking about Hoylake - to see Bradley et al - but I've loads on and cannot see a lot of time off work this year..

Turnhouse Open next weekend - still a few spaces left if anyone fancies it.
£20 for 2 rounds Sat & Sun and the possibility of reaching the matchplay stages is a cracking deal and the course has never looked better IMO.
My game is still looking positive as well despite carding a 9!!!! in my last 2 rounds. Yesterday I had six 3's on my card which is unreal for me
Really looking forward to it.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I played in a Seniors Open at the Roxburghe yesterday.
Fantastic course, lightening fast greens and going by the hole positions, I can only assume that the Head Greenkeeper was a total sadist. The CSS shot up to 75 (reduction only) which on a perfect day weather wise, speaks for itself.
5 friggin hours to complete the round was another downside but I'm already looking forward to next years competition.

I ended up a quivering gibbering wreck after yesterday's round however I've since been informed that my score of 81-4=77 was good enough to win a prize in my age category! (I'm only a junior senior)

Played Westerwood today courtesy of my Bunkered voucher. I wasn't expecting much as it get mixed reviews but I really enjoyed it, a couple of strange holes, particularly the 12th but overall a great day helped by having some fantastic weather. Special mention go to the greens which were superb, if I had a criticism then the tees could be in better condition, but hey you get to use a tee on there. Anyone else played it recently and thought the same or am I suffering from sun stroke.

You weren't kidding about the rapidity of the greens at The Roxburghe Golden Bear!!!!! 7 three putts. (to be fair I wasn't hitting it particularly close.) Lightning. Hay up to my knees a few times too. All added up to big numbers. Reckon by the time I got to about 14 I needed to par in for buffer. par at 14 bogey 15 & 16 and a lost ball that had no business being lost at 17 and it was NR for me. Great track all the same.

Bothwell Castle is in good condition. You can see it would get a bit soggy in the Winter but a fair bit of newish drainage work that hadn't quite recovered dotted around the course. Fairly new Clubhouse that is fantastic,. The Spikes bar looks 5 star and a balcony outside looking over the course is a great place to enjoy the 19th. Recommended,

I followed him on the practice day today for most of his round. Playing with Stephen Gallacher and Paul Lawrie and hit some awesome shots. Different pressure tomorrow, but if he can keep it straight then he could be well on the way to making the cut - hope so.

Slow play does my head in and I can't blame you for calling it a day when you did.
Four of us with a variety of handicaps got round Lanark in three and a half hours on Tuesday. We did our fair share of tramping about the heather looking for lost balls so we didn't do too badly at that.
Slow play spoils the enjoyment for everyone and if you get the opportunity to play the course again then I'd jump at it because it's a very good test of golf.

But he recovered towards the end of the round so that might encourage him tomorrow.
Re slow play, the rounds today were taking about 4 1/2 hours, which was OK
And I should have added ....
Playing with mannasero who had a fantastic round, he stuck at it and didn't let his head go down, his last few holes showed a lot of character to do that.
And after said M had holed on the last for his 7th birdie he applauded him, that showed a lot of class in the circumstances.Last edited by ACLeith; 17-07-2014 at 07:49 PM.
