Just to clear things up I was having great difficulty switching shafts couldn't get my grip right at all but did manage to nudge chimp's ball nearer to the hole in question

 

Golf is very rude yeh :laughing:

 

I have a sudden desire to start playing golf again....

Is this a regular craic, golf before work? Awesome.

 

Thankfully I've got a half day so I'm off now to burn it up at Inchmarlo.

 

Go get 'em, Macca!

 

Aye, start at 6.45. Taking money off 2 Englishmen is always good.

 

Where you playing on Sunday you wee ferret?

The Show and myself are members at Craibstone.

 

What are the courses over there like?

 

So, so. Lots of good places but green fees are expensive. I haven't joined anywhere over here.

 

The place I play on Friday's is parkland, not too dificult. If you can putt :thumbup1:

If you are home at xmas we can play Craibstone. Mac and i played on the 5th of January this year and the course was in superb nic.

 

I'll lend you my spare putter :rolleyes:

 

I played Craibstone in the rain a couple of weeks ago and agree it's in excellent condition. Scored 33 points (out in 20 back in 13). I did question their yardages on a couple of the par 3s though, (7th & 10th), went through the back twice without touching the green even after dropping a club due to the elevation!!

 

If you can't putt though you might struggle.

I would agree they can both be quite deceptive especially if there is a wind about which is 90% of the time. You are not the first to question the yardage of some of the holes but they are in fact spot on.

 

The Greens are the best thing about the place. Nice a big as well.

 

Ach, my putting is usually okay. One of those days. :(

 

Count me in bro, I'll be back for a week so should be no problem.

 

Super

Sonnartec S2.5 3 wood 15 degree Aldila NV shaft.

 

Sonnartec MD 17 degree hybrid Irod shaft.

 

Ping I5 irons 4-W

Ping Black Nickel Wedges 52, 56, 60.

 

Odyssey 2 Ball putter

 

 

Also back down to 4. Bonus.

Get your pass booked, flights are sorted for 27 December - 3rd January.

 

I'll take the clubs so let me know which day is best for you. I would quite like to play with Ian and Hamish as well but don't think I'll be allowed out to play twice.
