    I'm back from Arran there, played Shishkine, Brodick and Machrie Bay the wee 9 holer. Got the golf pass for 150 quid for the year so can go back and play the rest at some point.

    Unreal honestly. Gonna be a regular thing I think, fantastic craic. Couldn't have picked a better weekend weather wise either. Be doing well to beat that even in the summer!

    Was unreal.

    I shot horrendously but the scenery makes up for it!! Shishkine is a must for any golfer...proper bucket list stuff.

    Shishkine be hard to beat scenery wise though genuinely...and highly recommend the Kinloch hotel it's 10 min walk from the course.

    Well st Andrews was class I was blown away with the whole place, i kept thinking I'm playing the old course lol couldn't believe I was actually there,
    Golf wasn't to bad 45/45 playing off 18 on the old not to bad, played the 17th like a pro had it at 3ft for a birdie and missed and then nearly out of bounds on the 18th road hole hit a beautiful second shot right on the flag as the green took my ball 30ft of the green chipped it to 4ft and it spun back to me off the green I then hit the putter to 6' to sink my boggy as a single guy cheered me was a great day
    Didn't get as many pics as I'd like but heres a couple [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Up early tomorrow for a hit. Looking forward to getting back out. Watching JT at The Players just now should get anyone in the mood to play. Absolutely tearing it up and in with a chance of the course record.

    Great morning for it. Played Leven again. Kicked it round in level par today to be honest. Didn’t hit it anywhere near as good as last Saturday. Still got it round but too many loose ones, scrapped well enough.

    2 out of 3 on the Boozey/golf trip. Was hungover and felt like death (puking from 4am til tee off) for the first round at Villamartin yesterday (27pts).

    Auld man and his pals who have played the course today said a few balls will be lost (las Ramblas) but same ball the whole way round, won the day on 31pts. Last course Monday and I'm joint top on 58pts so we're here to play.

    Absolutely * by the speed of the greens btw. And Villamartin the greens are unbelievably difficult. Speed and slope are off the charts.

    * it on the last day, saved my worst golf for the worst course and conditions of the 3. Chucked it down and we were all freezing wishing it would end :giggle1:

    Maybe 2nd or 3rd but good craic none the less.
