For instance, in this latest thread, how can such a well-travelled golfer as David Davis say that he’s played the course but can’t remember a single hole?
Come on David, that to me is just frankly absurd – or are you just winding up people north of the border like me by spouting something as daft as that?
Hey Jim, I think you are taking my comments far more harsh than they are intended.
I enjoyed my round there very much. I just don't feel it's a destination course to center a trip around, while I do feel that CB is definitely that course. Just my opinion.
The other part was not a jab either, just the truth for me. I played those courses a long time ago - 2009 I think and sure had I just recently played Nairn I would remember much of it. However, 6 years later the only thing I can remember without looking it up somewhere was that on I think the front 9 there was a quirky set up where the next tee had to play over the green on the preceding hole which I at the time had not ran into and found kind of cool how they did it.
In the end, my memory is usually pretty good but I find that as years go by only the courses and holes that had the biggest impact on me remain. Outside of what I mentioned I honestly can't recall too much but again I played it on a trip with Dornoch, Brora, Castle Stuart, Fraserburgh, Royal Aberdeen, Cruden Bay and Murcar.
For the record Jim, I can't remember anything about Murcar without looking it up either.
