Bairnardo Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 What's the craic with this walking up the line of a putt with your feet either side. See a lot of them doing it and rocking side to side on their feet on the way up. Must be leaving some indentation in the green doing that.... Trying to set up little dips to stop the ball running off line it almost looks like 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Ffs Rory missing a kick in birdie at the second then the last two putts iv seen him hit have been just horrendously misread. Meanwhile, various other players just going about the business of canning birdies from all over the green. Once again the talk tomorrow will be how amazingly well Rory played but it just didn't come together on the greens or some shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marquess at Woburn is pretty special too. have hardly played overseas, need to travel more! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pre-Trump Ailsa would be objectively the best, but my favourite was the Machrie on Islay. They've now renovated it and it's still a great course, but less fun now. The 6th had a blind tee shot over a massive sand dune followed by an approach to a green hidden in a hollow! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 It was our Championship and 75th anniversary finals today. The 75th final had two guys with stroke indexes of 4.5 and 24.9. Result was a 22 stroke difference, meaning the low man was giving away 44 shots in the 36 hole final. Did well to only lose 4 & 3 imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m very much not a golfer but what I do have was born out of pitreavie, largely I think because it was a cheap babysitter . In course design it is really really good. You don’t design Augusta without having a few good ideas up your sleaze and that’s certainly provided. It isn’t a links course and can’t provide any spectator facilities apart from maybe the 18th so would never have become. championship course but I can’t help but think of had the potential had things been a little different . It certainly requires a bit more thinking than you would expect for a local course and tbh a lot more than most ‘tourist’ setups a lot of championship courses go with most months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design of many greens at Pitreavie gives you the fear if you get on the wrong side of the ‘Augusta like’ slopes, and the Par 3s are tremendous. It’s not perfect, but if you lifted Pitreavie and dropped it where Gleneagles is, it would be up there with many of Scotland’s best known courses. I don’t mean that as a slight on Dunfermline, or suggesting Pitreavie runs through a dump of an area or anything. Part of it does run past a big sports complex and playing fields etc though. As a course, plop it beside the Kings, Queens, and PGA Centenary courses at Gleneagles, and you’d have visiting Yanks & Japanese falling over themselves to play it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 In terms of best course has to be current Ailsa, just phenomenal design, views etc and also great fun to play. Few other top quality courses in terms of layout etc like Muirfield, Trump Aberdeen, Kingsbarns & Dornoch that would rank as ‘best courses’ but if talking purely fun then it would be either Prestwick, North Berwick or Castle Stuart for me. Could play any of them every day for the rest of my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
