Hi Moridin,
Sorry that I went to bed before seeing this appearing. Looking at your list, you have gone for many of the second tier courses, so your going to catch me out as a wild boaster on many of these. Here goes anyway :
)Carnegie Club
Seen signs to this one up near Royal Dornoch where I played in the Carnegie Shield last time - nearest town would be Dornoch I suspect.
2)Dunbar Golf Club
Only guessing here - I am sure that Dunbar is a town not all that far from Edinburgh
3)Glasgow Gailes Golf Club
The only one on your list I have played (for shame) - we were staying over in Troon, and I know it is out in a fairly open stretch over near Western Gailes - will have to pass.
4)King's Links
No idea
5)Monifieth Golf Links
Gulp, pass again
6)Murcar Golf Club
Ahh, I'm sure that's up the top right hand corner - Aberdeen way - seen a few articles on that course
7)Nairn Golf Club
I know this is somewhere near Nairn -I have a great uncle that lives there - went looking for this once, but found Nairn Dunbar instead - it's on this years tour though, so I will play it next month.
8)Whitekirk Golf Club
We play North Berwick this year, and Whitekirk is a course we are hoping to play on one of our days off.
9)Fortrose & Rosmarkie Golf Club
Pass - Fortrose and Rosmarkie perhaps
10)Lundin Gold Club
Seen signs to this close to St Andrews
So you can see, I haven't played many on those courses. I guess the tours I have been on have focussed on getting to most of the real big name courses. The new ones in Scotland (for me) this year will be Muirfield, Nth Berwick, Gullane, Nairn, and Cruden Bay. The others we are playing, that I have done before are St Andrews Old and New, Carnoustie, Royal Dornoch and Gleneagles (Kings). Muirfield will be the last of the British Open courses for me - it has been a goal to play at all 8 of them. I will actually be playing at 6 of the 8 this year (visiting the Sassenach's a week before the tour starts
).
I apologise for my dismal performance -if I had called in the assistance of my South Australian touring buddy I am sure he would have been able to get them all (if I am a golf enthusiast, he is a golf nutter
). Looking forward to getting over there again - can't wait.
