A few snaps from our Round at Bathgate, Niall. Two years ago, already!

























I recently posted these up to a FB group I’m a member of. I grew up near to Bathgate and played it a bit in my youth. Hadn’t been back in forty years and had totally forgotten how decent it is.


Cheers,
F.
Marty this is an imposing hole right there. Never heard or played Bathgate, but is that the finishing hole? A junior/senior/ladies nightmare it appears for forced carry onto the green with 2 huge deep bunkers which would surely signal a white flag.

Niall, I don't have that clear a recollection of Kilmacolm.  My sister in law lives in Bridge of Weir and I played it over 20 years ago, before I had much of an interest in or appreciation of architecture.  I do remember enjoying it though, and remember holing my 4th for par on the 18th, having thinned my second through the green and hit the (OB) clubhouse.  Reasonably hilly.  I'd like to get back one day.  I've never played Ranfurly Castle but it's another on my list.

I can now say that I have played Kilmacolm. I fully enjoyed myself even though my golf was so diabolical that I lost all my golf balls bar one which I managed to nurse round the last 3 holes. It's a course I'd like to play again when my game was in decent shape so I could enjoy it more. The way I'd describe it is hilly moorland.

I could be tempted to join you at some time this Summer....

In June I will be riding the first three stages of this year's Tour de France route for charity.  630km (394 miles) in three days, with 7800m (25,600 feet) of climbing for the William Wates Memorial Trust (https://rideleloop.org/the-charity/) which supports underprivileged young people.

Has anyone played Selkirk? We drove past it last year while taking a significant diversion away from the M74 due to a crash and while the weather was miserable it looked a little bit upland / heathland like 9 holes that could be interesting?

I think you'll find Selkirk on the thread "Hidden Gems" in Scotland's border lands !


Actually, no never played it but I think this might be the one FBD has played and it may be a Colt ?
