SEE POST 27 for DETAILS OF FRIDAY GOLF AT ST ANDREWS
We have 36 holes at Crail (18 on Balcomie, 18 on Craighead) on Thursday 19 September, 18 on Balcomie on Saturday 21st and 36 holes at Elie on Sunday 22nd. The cost of that golf works out at £68
* per round and for all 5 rounds we have a maximum of 24 players. For comparison, the regular visitor fee in September is £160 on Balcomie, £120 on Craighead and £135 at Elie.
The following tee times are reserved at Elie and Crail:
Thursday 19th September : Crail Craighead 9.20-10.00 am
Thursday 19th September : Crail Balcomie 14.50-15.30 pm
Saturday 21st September : Crail Balcomie 12.30 -13.10 pm
Sunday 22nd September : Elie 9.32-10.12 am
Sunday 22nd September : Elie 14.30-15.20 pm
Note that at Elie, the club has, in order to allow us 6 times in the morning, moved to 8 minute intervals, rather than 10 minute intervals (which apply for the rest of the day). That's a generous concession and I would be mortified if we end up holding up the golf course. Elie, even in 4 balls, shouldn't take more than 3 hours 30 minutes for a round.

Neither host club was available on Friday 20th but I'm looking at options. For the moment (and because Crail want paying in full in advance) I'm opening this up for booking. I'll need payment for the go
lf to confirm places.
I'm not sure either club needs much introduction here, but Ran profiled the

I haven't identified one single hotel venue but there are a number of hotels (and pubs) in Crail. It would be great if as many 'pests as possible were to find accommodation in Crail - it's a cool fishing village with decent places to eat.
