2018 BUDA, Golspie and Brora COLLECTING MONEY NOW

[Steve Wilson]

I'll try to be there at 7 and work one of my reciprocal rounds at Dornoch in for 20 quid.  Not likely to be an opening, but I'm certain I can find a course in the area otherwise.  Here's a chance for those of you who are desperate to play Dornoch at the rack rate.

[Stan Dodd]

I booked the time just after Eric and can introduce a guest if anyone is interested.

FYI, there are now drone video flyovers of all 18 holes at Golspie available on youtube.com.  If you want to whet your appetite for the BUDA with a tour of the course, you can start with hole #1 here:

Eric, Stan,


I know that Conrad and his friend Steve Rowe would be very interested in a game at Dornoch on the Friday.

If OK with Eric we can make that our 2 - 2 balls and average cost of prepaid with my guest round.

That sounds like a plan, Stan. Thanks!

[Mark Pearce]

Thanks, Stan, Eric.  I'll let them know.

[Ben Stephens]

Steve,


Thank you so much for organizing! I'm looking forward to attending what will be my third BUDA and my first visit to the highlands.


I've booked a tee time for two at Dornoch on the Friday (May 25) at 7:08 AM at 160 quid per player. If anyone would like to join me, let me know, whenever. It's prepaid.

[/size][size=78%]I guess we will have to keep you away from the whisky distilleries all over this area [/size]


You will fit in well with that beard of yours.


Also Star Wars 9 is to be filmed in Argyll   


looking forward to seeing you again


Cheers
Ben

[Eric Smith]

Ben,


I’m looking forward to everything you just mentioned but please don’t worry about me and the distilleries! I’m in for the whole schmear.

My man it’s not you that I am worried about it’s the distilleries running dry


Looking forward to catching up in May

Shaida and I arrive Wed morning and are booking a time at The Burntisland Golf Club the next day founded in 1797 and situated on a marvelous headland overlooking Edinburgh. Willie Park Jr installed double greens, used crazy elevation changes, a 12 ft deep punchbowl par three green and other cool stuff. I have pondered before on here why this course recieves no recognition cause those with whom I have played it love it.

Plz let me know if you care to round out our twoball

Cheers
Chez Wardo

[Marty Bonnar]

Ward,
The current Burntisland course isn’t the one played way back then. It’s fun, but I can think of many courses in Fife I’d play before it.
Be cool to catch up in Fife though!
Cheers,
F.

Que, F???


The current course is mostly Willie Park Jr.  1898.  By "way back then" I assume you are talking about the original wee course on the common ground land now a summer time amusement park which was designed by the singularity.

I am intrigued by what exactly the singularity is? A branch of the Illuminati?

Dear Wardo


It's for those who do not believe in god.

Gents,


I'm going to need to know who will be needing buggies and for how many rounds in a given day.
 
Remember 36 at Brora on Saturday and 36 at Golspie the next day.


Brora is a little longer and a little tougher walk as the ups and downs are reserved for the final four holes.  Both clubs have a limited  number of buggies.  To clarify, buggies are what the Brits call golf carts.  Pull carts are trolleys.  They have both electric and golfer powered pull carts at both clubs.

[ward peyronnin]

Steve I will need either a buggie or caddie

[Steve Wilson]

Ward,


For all rounds or just afternoon? 


Also note there should be a link at the bottom  initial post of this thread that provides access to the spreadsheet.

Steve,

I seem to be the only one without an ‘X’ against my name on the spreadsheet for day 2 at Golspie. I’m hoping I’ve not been dropped from the line-up on Monday but just wanted to flag to you for numbers purposes that I was planning on playing at Golspie on the Monday.

[Jon Wiggett]

I am slightly surprised/concerned/disappointed that only one person has committed to the pre-BUDA event at my place. I hope a few more chose to take part.


Jon

[Steve Wilson]

David,


You are good.  Clerical error.  I was more concerned with making certain the spreadsheet was visible than data entry.

[Steve Wilson]

Jon,


I was going to continue to promote the Brahan.  I think you can count on me and Garland at least.

[Jon Wiggett]

Thanks Steve. You should also count me in 

[Michael Whitaker]

Jon - Unfortunately several of us had already made plans to play at Pitlochery on the Friday before Buda. We were hoping there might be a post-Buda event at your club. Maybe we can work out something once we are all there. Thanks for your efforts!!!
