Castle Course, St. Andrews

The Oystercatchers Golf Society will be teeing the ball up at the Castle Course on Saturday after Caddie Golf Tours managed to secure one of the last available times from the excellent "March Offer" of a sandwich & drink, two course lunch and a round of golf for £59 pounds per golfer. View down to 18th green Castle Course As we will be teeing off at 14.20pm a reverse of the offer with a fine lunch around one o'clock, a couple of range balls, the actual round and a wee sandwich post golf should suit the group just fine. Par 3 17th green None of the Oystercatchers have played the newest addition to the St. Andrews Links golf courses though I have caddied across it many times since it was opened in 2008. A quick glance at the BBC advanced weather forecast has a slightly overcast, but dry day for the match on Saturday.   

Scottish Open, Castle Stuart Golf Links

The Boyne's decided this evening to brighten up their last couple of weeks by looking forward and booking a weekend at the Scottish Open Golf Championship in July, the week before the Open Championship. The tournament is being played, for the second year, at the stunning Castle Stuart Golf Links in the Highlands of Scotland, just a mile from Inverness. Last years Champion Luke Donald will return to defend his title along with the main players from the European Tour...I wonder if more golfers from the USA will participate this year considering that the event is on a "Scottish Links" course and a week before the Open Championship? The hotel has been booked, tickets for the tournament will be sourced over the next couple of weeks...good to have a wee event to look forward too!
