gavin_3110 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Amazing finish at the Travellers just there. Jordan Spieth and Daniel Berger in a sudden death playoff. Spieth holes a bunker shot to win it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkBlue62 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Got to play the Old Course tonight. Really enjoyed it. Highlight was getting up and down from Shell on the 7th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Played 9 on Tuesday. Bit frustrating. 5 pars, 2bogeys and 2 DB. Frustrating because both bogeys on in regulation and 3 putted.As for the DBs hit rough from the T. Still maintain if I can hit the fairway off drive.. I will get no more than a bogey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbs33 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 If you hit it in trouble off the tee, you've hit a bad shot. Take the punishment, try and get out the rough and play for bogey. Easier said than done. Last Sunday I was going OK after 15, drove in to crap on 16, got greedy, took 8. Whole round gone because I didn't take my own advice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Got my 3rd card in today for an initial handicap of 23. Now to try and play to it and cut out the daft 7s and 8s that pop up too often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good man. Stay at it. You will cut that over time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Good man. Stay at it. You will cut that over time Last time I played regularly was about 7/8 years ago. Joined Bishopbriggs in January and played at least once a week since. Quite tough today with a blustery wind, hit 101 and can think of 10 shots that were flung away, including a tee shot OB and two horrible short putts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatowner Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I've been playing a lot recently and been getting steady scores. Can't get down to a single figure handicap though . Still it's winter here, so maybe once the good weather comes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin_3110 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Has anyone played any golf on the Costa Del Sol? I'm going for a week in September and wouldn't mind playing a round or two. I'm a high handicapper so would be looking for a quieter course if at all possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatowner Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 85 on a windy day, playing on a really hard course (Muriwai). Less 14 handicap left me 1 under par. Only 3 putted once and only 1 double bogey - so all-in-all a good day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I've played are a bit further west, but not too far. Guadalmina is pretty nice - 2 to choose from there. Doña Julia is a nice wee one just past Estepona, as is the Casares 9 holer. Casares is also just across the road from Finca Cortesin if you're wanting to spend a significant wad! I'd also recommend Duquesa and El Paraiso for the history and views, although they both seem a little run down nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven`t played at La Cala but everyone I know who has played there rates it very highly. 3 courses to choose from http://www.lacala.com/golf-costa-del-sol/ Probably only 20-25 mins from Cabopino. On a separate topic if time on the beach is your thing Cabopino is excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 What went wrong? Or what were you doing good on? Missing fairway on drives, couldn't sink anything greater than 6 ft on green. Just not great 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin_3110 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Cheers for the tips boys, I'll check them out. I've never actually played outside of Scotland so will be a nice change! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you taking your own clubs or looking to hire? Some of the hire ones at the clubs are a bit iffy, but you can use the place at Malaga Airport which is pretty good. https://clubstohire.com/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
