Play Musselburgh Old Course pretty much every weekend -- unless there is horse racing on! (sometimes manage two rounds). Cheapest golf in the Lothians (I think it's around £142 next year) by a mile and the course isn't bad (and it has hosted 6 Open Championships!). Visitors pay through the nose though.. it's about £12 for 9 holes!
Am off tomorrow and thinking of taking my clubs for a walk .
Would be nice to play somewhere different .. any offers?

Never really stopped playing throughout the winter, weather permitting obviously.
Got the season opener this Saturday, a team scramble then the first medal proper on April 2nd.
Been playing a winter stableford league as well as some winter doubles so still got a good competitive feel. Had an hour with the pro the other day just to tidy things up so ready to come flying out the traps.
Summer tees were back in action yesterday and manged to get a round in, gross 69, net 67 so no complaints from me.

I'm off again in a fortnights time if anyone wants a hit round Turnhouse.
Be back to the proper course by thenLife 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!"

Started back this week.
Raging today though. My third ever ace at the third today and have yet to actually see one go in.
Played of my stupid mat as one of the green keepers was driving down the path next to the tee. He stops and asked if I wanted a shot of the newly constructed all weather tee at the back edge as we will be off that on Saturday for the first time. Off I goes 7 Iron in hand and truth be known I tugged it a little. We both thought it was in the left hand bunker. We blethered for a minute or so and off I went. Putted my first ball up to holeside and went over to the bunker. No sign of it. Looked in the two bunkers at the back thinking it must have cleared the one on the left and no sign of it there either. Hunted up and down the left side then gave up and canned the first ball. The second ball off the new tee was in the hole.
Special mention to Bob Rotella and his book "Golf is not a game of perfect".

Small things, but they make a big difference.
Thought Harburn was looking good on Saturday actually, considering the soil type and amount of rain/snow it's been subject to over the winter. Greens were a wee bit hairy, but better than many I've played over the winter.
If only they'd pay their heating bill and get the boiler turned back onMadness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

I've been playing at Whitekirk this afternoon on a glorious Spring day. The course was pretty quiet and in good nick. I played reasonably well and won at the last hole where a humble par was good enough to take the money.
Happy days indeed.

Been playing thru the winter, snow excluded!Starting to hit it rather well, should have won last weeks monthly medal but messed up 10-13...dropped 9 shots Got a tri-am this weekend, should be good fun.
Played today with the newly purchased rife putter from Gaz, it worked a treat, well happy with it.

Nae golf this weekend - but off next week, and lads jolly 36-hole outing a week on Thursday!

Winter Cup last Saturday. Least said the better. OOB off the first tee First time in as long as I can remember. Followed that with 2 balls OOB on the 4th but remembered how to play the back nine.
My Laddie won it with a scratch 67 and followed up winning the Midlothian Winter League individual Championship on the Sunday with a 69. (oo er missus).
He is now officially off +1 the wee bugger. He must be the Milkmans.
Onward and upwards for me. First medal on Wednesday and cannae wait.

Was 2 over through 9, didn't have a birdie until the 13th and then managed another birdie at 18 for a level par round.
Got a medal tommorow so hoping i can remember how to hit the ball by 10AM or it could be .1 onto the handicap.

On an aside - I'm 6 foot .. do any others of similar height have their clubs lengthened?
I'm thinking I need to get measured and a custom-fit set of irons.
