No doubt someone will have reported them to Scottish Golf by now... I'm a member there and I can confirm we are raking bunkers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky_nomad Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Just now, lichtie23 said: Great to hear.

And it'd need everyone having/using them to actually make any difference... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it'd need everyone having/using them to actually make any difference... I’d only be raking my foot prints in all honesty. Wouldn’t stop me ending In Someone else’s. If I ended up raking the entire bunker then I’d add another 30-40 minutes to my round Edited May 18, 2021 by lichtie23 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Put me down for the can't wait to putt without the flag in team. And also the can't wait to play from a bunker that doesn't look like a group of wild animals live there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky_nomad Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It'll be interesting to see if some clubs decide they won't revert to flags that can be taken out due to the number of seniors who love not having to bend over to grab their balls... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 whats the condition of everyones local course...i play up at piperdam just outside dundee and the greens are fucking awful for this time of year...that snow and ice a few months ago has fucked them up bigtime.Bishopbriggs is getting there, the frost in April killed the growth stone dead, and with there being hardly any rain then the fairways were quite bare, as they had been cut but then didn't grow back as would normally be expected. Greens weren't so bad as they were getting watered when needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Re the rake issue.I know of one club (which shall remain nameless) where they have put all the rakes in a bucket at the first tee, one player in each group takes a rake and they are the only person to use it. At the end of the round it is thoroughly cleaned and put back in the bucket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacIntyre and Catlin will presumably know each other from the European Tour so that's a decent draw. Champ seems to be having a really poor season after a promising season last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad, I had Champ in my original fantasy line up, although tbf he hasn't improved much since he was transferred out at the earliest opportunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Pretty sure bob beat champ at walker cup. Heard him talk about how far he hit it in an interviewBob beat him 6 and 4 on the Saturday, halved the match with him on the Sunday.As well as Champ, the Americans had Morikawa, Scheffler, McNealy and Zalatoris who are all now doing well on Tour. Not as many recognisable names in the GB and I Iine up. Connor Syme lost both his singles, Scheffler beating him 1 up on the Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
