Crieff, auchterarder, dunblane, blairgowrie (rosemount), glenbervie all depends how far you are willing to travel. I've stopped playing and miss it but with young kids it makes it difficult.

LiviGer 648 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Rest of the field might as well not turn up this week. The amount of coverage Tiger is getting is ridiculous. Bit of a slap in the face for the young guys, the likes of Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth etc who have really progressed while hes been out the game.

I get it’s all about money but when the PGA tour Facebook page is putting up highlights of his tournament when he was never in contention it’s laughable the coverage he gets.

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Stayed up and watched the golf last night only for it to go to the fifth play-off hole and still not conclude! Noren and Day were producing some top stuff in darkness. They need to come back out again today. Fucking 6 hours it took for most final rounds. JB Holmes being an utter worse cunt culprit for slow play. Spent about 5 minutes on the last when Noren and Palmer had chances to win only to lay up on the par 5 last into the rough when he needed eagle. Moron.

Noren ended up changing clubs and went long after waiting so long but he was at it all day. The generally rude fans in America were giving him a bit of stick, and for once I was with them. Yeah. it's just a joke. There are a few persistent offenders. The officials need to do more and take control. And more players need to call them out. It's farcical and ruins the game.

What Speith was allowed to do at the open was a disgrace. You are from this year only allowed three minutes to find a ball yet you can take 15 minutes or upwards to make a decision because you get a line of sight ruling or whatever. Those should be time limited too or, if you are that far off line, it is a drop zone that's it. hammer93, Laudrup1984 and TEFTONG 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line of sight ruling is a joke, the Scottish open 2nd day mcilroy hits his 1st tee shot.....he hits it away out to the left, his ball is buried next to a gorse Bush, he has to take a drop, as I watched him through the first 3 holes I noticed that he never dropped a shot at the 1st, it turned out he got a free drop under the line of sight ruling, me or you in the same position it's a dropped shot. dummiesoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of decent courses Capobino, Santa maria, torrequebrada and mijas just to name a few. Ones to avoid Cala nova and la Cala north....first one was in terrible condition and la Cala is just a mental fuck up of a course.

Played Los Lagos am sure that was the course with loads of water I mean if you miss the green with 2 yards your ball is wet. That's the only one I played out them. The one a didn't enjoy was El chaparral had money problems at the time. Folk said Santa Maria and Santana were the courses to play we stayed in Benalmadena which is a little closer to Malaga, Marbella is further up the coast. It was about 3-4 years ago I went. Can't beat playing in warm weather with a buggy. ShanksRFC and hammer93 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I played them both at Mijas just seemed to remember loads of water at one of the courses.
