I never stopped (except for the snow at the end of last year).

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?

[Pretty Boy]

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.

Think a wee trip to the driving range is in order this evening.

Glorious on Tayside.

[Golden Bear]

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.

[southfieldhibby]

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.

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".

It's quite impressive what they've done to the third hole actually. They've really added a lot to it by creating the new bunkers, elevated tee and shrubbery at the back of it.

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 on

Won the winter eclectic with the lads Leading the spring one too after 3 weeks.

Won my Vice (that's me) v Captain match on 18th, and 5-3 win overall!

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

[greenlex]

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.

Snap. Drove the ball about 30 yards over the perimieter wall.

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.

Lothianburn at the moment.

I reckon this will be my last season there though. Got a couple of mates who are members at Gullane so fancy going down and joining them.

Had plenty opportunities to play Lothianburn but never really fancied it. Looks a bit hilly to be honest. I will get you up to Harburn if you fancy that at some point.
Gullanes cracking. I work in Haddington and have been threatening to join somewhere down the coast to continue to play over the winter. I would like somewhere on the way home (ish)

Lothianburn is a strange course, you're very aware you're playing on a hillside but theres only one really big climb (up the 9th). I just fancy a change TBH, was thinking about moving at the start of this season but decided to give it another year.

Harburn sounds good, give me a shout at some point during the season and i'd be keen for a hit round there.

Played Gullane a few times and always enjoyed it. It's pretty much a toss up between there and Cardrona for next season for me.

If you dont mind your course not being on your doorstep (and there is a lot of real estate between Gullane and Cardrona) Newbattle might be an option. Always in good nick and the greens are always very good. I dont know for sure but I reckon it would be a lot less expensive than the other two.

Funnily enough I just joined there last week!

It's a challenging course but tends to get really wet because of poor drainage which can be traced back to when the course was constructed.

It's in pretty good nick right now it's got to be said.

Membership details for Cardrona - it's not too bad at that I don't think.

First medal on Saturday and I've been diagnosed with tendonitis in my shoulder.

Last March I slipped a disc, think I'm cursed.

[Houchy]

I went along to Bathgate to pick up my fixture card and play a few holes on Sunday but it turned out to be opening day . It was bloody heaving so I just picked up my card and bumped into Steven Gallagher. I asked him why he wasn't playing in Morocco and he said that as an honourary member, he always goes to the opening day to do his bit for the club.

Seen him out a few times but never spoken to him but he seems like a top bloke.

My other mate that was in with me said "Who was that that you were talking to???"

Playing tomorrow morning so I'll see how we go.
