GolfShake Competition In Scotland?

Is there ever going to be a GolfShake competition in Scotland?

Only troublemakers up there.

"Anyone on this forum has the right to question anything I say but in order to do so effectively they have to come up with a counter argument which I will either agree with or continue to dispute. I am sorry if you do not like this approach, but until I am removed from this forum that is what you can expect."

they are not ALL trouble makers up there, some opinions are best kept to your self,

After three PM's you are still persisting in wanting an argument. Paul Hudson. Now I suggest you leave me alone as I have no wish to discuss anything with you and your knowledge of golf is zilch, so what else can you offer, besides the abusive pM's.

Edinburgh is a lovely place. went there for my 10th wedding anniversary.

I rather got the impression that he is a moderater, Paul and I will not be told what I can or cannot post. If the management disagree with anything I say then I expect them to say so.

NIck, there are many fine locations in Scotland to play golf and we will all have our preferences, but if a competition is to be held in Scotland by Golfshke then it will be their decision as to where and when. We then decide whether or not we wish to attend.

Who know, with a bit of luck I could get drawn to play with the two great players who post on this forum. I like to see this game played well.

How about some real spice. A Home International GS Event?

Only played a couple of times in Scotland at Dalmahoy and Crief but enjoyed it on both occasions - would certainly be up for a go if something came up.  May even persuade my other half to come with me, especially if it we could stay at the Crief Hydro - not a cheap hotel but very civilised!

Tim,

I stayed at the De Vere Carden Park Hotel which is right on the Loch Lomond. now playing there would be a challenge but probbaly won't happenas I think even the members aren't allowed to play it??

john

if i have sent you an abusive pm, then please share it with every one, i sent you 2 pms yesterday both agreeing with something that you said, neither where abusive, yes my golf knowledge is zilch, as iv only been playing the game for a few months and use this site to try to increase my knowledge.

paul

I'm staying and playing both courses at the Dalmahoy at the end of May and will report back on the condition etc if people are interested.

I have been lucky to attend The Open Championship at all the Scottish venues and the welcome we got in Ayr & Prestwick for Troon was fantastic. Because they are not too far from Turnberry either, they will be buzzing this year too.

St Andrews is also a great place and as The Open is there next year why not have a GS Event linked with 'Open Week'?

Even longer from the 1st tee to the hole.  Remind me never to take directions from JF

I would be up for the challenge as long as i can play with John. lol

How do you get smiley faces, i like them

To play with you Martin, I would definitely make the effort.

how many shots do i get John lol

don't have one.

does that mean i can play off 28. 

Please.

Cheers Kevin

If they don't, I say they should play off scratch!

So is the consensus to try and organise a golfshake trip up North for those interested ?  and the first Scottish golfshake event for anyone local ?

Any preference on location ?  Edinburgh/Lothian area would be good as I have relatives there

I've (well the wife) got relations up there, she's a sweaty as well.  All from Edinburgh area too so have a chance of getting a lift as well! 

I am happy to play off scratch, played today and went birdie,birdie.birdie,eagle

I'm flying Tim.  Will let you drive the clubs up to save tripling the cost on excesses

Playing Tiger Woods on the X-Box doesn't count Martin

Would love to play in Scotland. Never been on a course there. Still a fair drive for me but so was Wokefield!!!! Guess that's what comes from living half way up the country or is that half way down? LOL

Nick I think the plan would be for it to be an official Golfshake.com event in Scotland and thus get some Scottish members to attend.

But I guess you have noticed that there are some hard core golfers on here willing to travel anywhere to play a round of golf

Liked that one Chris holes 3,4,5 i birdied and 6 i eagled but thats a one off obviously or i would play on the tour.

My best on Tiger is 48 round Sawgrass now that's impresive

sorry but true

Surely this is the first challenge.

Tiger Woods 09  - Wii - Online network play

I'm in, Paul must be.  ANyone else ?

Someone pick a night and time then.  Not tomorrow when the footie is on though

Pat

sweaty socks - scots

Sorry is that racist?

Send 'em all back I say.  Start with the mother in law.

Bet my family would come with me here, it's where we stayed last year

Got it's own course, cheap rates at Crieff and a pitch and putt.

Tim,

Most of the holes on there people could reach with 2 wedges!!

Darren,

I presume you need to have TW09 on the Wii to play against other people? I only have TW08???

I have a Wii (well Jo has) but I play TW on the X-Box.  Think I may need to invest......

Indeed TW09 is needed.

Count me in fellas, just let me know the day and time!

2100hrs would not be too bad.

Littlun is in bed and the wife will be on bleedin Facepal....

I'm afraid that I would not be able to travel all the way up to Scotland.

Good luck everyone though.

PS. I have started a new thread on the Wii challenge.

Hi ,

Forum Moderators are suppossed to be able to spell DEFINITELY.

it's not a spelling contest but a golf forum

Being a noob, he would not know that, Paul, but thanks anyway for providing an explanation as to why the thread went off topic temporarily.
