Brunston Castle

I have visited Scotland a couple of times to play golf..in Ayrshire actually. Played Belle Isle both times as well as the most amazing Brunston Castle...wow what a course. One of the holes actually has a gorge on the fairway and if you end up down there it's lierally a 90 deg shot out..

Has anyone alse played there, and what are your views on it?

Sounds interesting, Philip, where is Scotland?

I was only joking, Philip as I spent ten glorious years driving back and forth to Scotland with my truck, golf clubs at the ready, for the chance of an odd game here or there.

It is the quality of such fine links as you have up there that has produced many excellent Scottish amateurs, one especially I remember well, as I once partnered him in the Lytham Trophy one year. R.D.B.M.Shade whose intials prompted the well known reference to him as "Right Down the Bloody Middle Shade"

Would love to do that, Philip, all I can do these days is chat about the past, the future is not so interesting.

You must be able to get into the better class of competition with your handicap, they usually ballot at one handicap but I am sure you would be successful on some occasions.

The course is in dially, Ayrshire in the Girvan area.

The gorge is about the 12th hole I think, dips down quite a bit and 90 deg up the other side...you can't miss it, it goes from one side of the hole to the other!!!
