  Working on putting a week trip together in November. We have a time share for a week in Edinborough. Any good advice from the group as far as setting up golf and places to see would be greatly appreciated. I hope the weather isn't terrible but I can't complain as this was unexpected. I wouldn't want to miss the chance to go. Thanks.

Give me a call 610.664.9663 or message me offline.  Hope all is well on and off the course.
Best,

Don't miss North Berwick, just a short drive or train ride east.  You can make tee times via email.  Ask for John Letters to caddy for you, a great guy when I played there in May.  Many have said that North Berwick's West Links are the most fun course they've played; I can't argue.  I've also heard good things about Kilspindie as one of the lesser knowns in the immediate area, but didn't have time to play there.

Wayne - I will give you a call soon, Thanks. We are holding our own. The last few weeks have been tough and the wet areas are stressed. Kinda breathing a sigh of relief today as we begin aeration Monday. With the Flynn cup on 10/8 I was able to schedule all my course aeration work in the last two weeks of August. Normally I get pushed back late October and somethimes, like last year, that is too late in the season. My goal is to have the place in good shape for the Flynn Cup.

Bill - Thanks for the information. I will use it.

Don't miss North Berwick. The enjoyment of the course is sort of intangible, but I can assure you it does not disappoint. If you don't have someone local to play with then I would get a caddy.
    Set aside Sunday to walk TOC, when it is closed.
   If at all possible I would drive up to Dornoch to play, it is worth the effort. Although there are plenty of good courses in the Edinburgh area. Have a great trip.

For anyone planning a trip to Scotland, here's a plug for a really good guide book, both for courses and accommodation, and a good planner for the various regions:

"Golf in Scotland" by Allan McAllister Ferguson

Vis a vis your Edinburgh trip, let me know if you need any specific advice.  Golf is very possible at that time of year (although often a bit wild and wooly).  You shouldn't have much trouble getting on most places, but it would be best to stick with links courses at that time of year as inland ones can get a bit boggy.  Hours of daylight need to be considered too (about 7:30 to 4:30).
