I always thought it was the final 3 holes but apparently it’s the entire back 9. Raging BIH (better inward half) first then last 3 IIRC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky_nomad Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 BIH, then best last 6, then best last 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky_nomad Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Yet another collapse cost me dear yesterday (this time at Tulliallan). +3 after 12 holes and cruising, OB off the tee and ran up an 8 at 13th, then dumped a ball in the water at 16th to make double. Shot +9 with 5 penalty shots. Ragin' doesn't begin to cover it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Going to Arran in a couple of weeks time to visit a friend that’s working over there, and I will take the clubs over to get a game on the Saturday morning. Anyone on here able to recommend the best course to play if you could only choose one? Would prefer to play 18 holes so that only leaves Brodick, Lamlash and Whiting Bay. Any recommendations on what one would be the best out the 3? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Lamlash, but you are missing out if you skip Shiskine just because it's a 9 holer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Shiskine is 12 holes and you definitely have to play that, it's really unique Would agree Lamlash has a bit more to it than Brodick and probably better scenery too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Well that’s exactly why I asked ‘cos I had no clue. Thanks for the info will try and get a tee time at Shiskine on your recommendations 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithers Jones Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Shiskine is very enjoyable but you really are wishing for more holes after 12 as it's so nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Round in 87 yesterday, which annoyingly included four penalty strokes. What a day for it though, sunny, warm and barely a breath of wind. Can’t beat that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Played in Wednesday sweep this evening. Out in 40 and back in 38 for 78 (net 71). One double bogey, one birdie, 6 bogeys and 10 pars. I reckon handicap index will go from 6.9 to 6.5. Pleased with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's standard at Brora. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually managed to repair the damage very quickly and the full greens were back on in two days. I couldn’t see any sign of the damage yesterday. Unfortunately someone has since gone out on one of the greens and vandalised it by drawing a cock and balls on it in weed killer poor green keepers aren’t having a good time of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Had a spectacular heads gone in todays comp. Through the first 11 holes in +9 gross, looking good for a score in the mid 80s, a great stableford score and a nice handicap cut. Played the last seven holes in +15, with some absolute nonsense along the way. For example, I all but drove the green on the 16th, a short par four, so decided to putt from the short grass about 20 yards from the flag. Walked off with a four putt bogey. And that wasn’t even the worst of it… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
