GTF: Although a euro trip isn't tops on my list, gimme dat Royal County Down.

[Boogs2]

Golf Talk Friday : If you're planning a golf euro trip, which one golf course is at the top of your must play list?

 

St. Andrews

[baddomes]

I know very little about any courses in Europe. I know St. Andrews is St. Andrews, and that it has the road hole where you hit it over the house, and I know that 18 has the bridge, but I have no idea about anything else on that course. And it's the scottish course I know the most about.

 

If I never made the trip over there to play golf, I'd be fine with that. I'd go, but it's not a trip I would organize. I'd tag along.

[siegel159]

Looked up Kingsbarns. Wow.

 

I don't know too many Euro courses, so I'd probably go with St. Andrews just because St. Andrews

[therealsneek]

GTF: I am excluding St. Andrews from my answer. When I make it over there it has to get played.

 

On the top of my wish list:

- Royal Portrush

- Royal County Down

- Turnberry

- Muirfield

- Sunningdale

We're getting some A+ weather this weekend. who's playing?

 

I've got a game on Sunday with pq at the beck, then probably staying and playing again. Got all day to dick around. Nothing tomorrow.

[eagle1997]

i know everyone wants to the play the hit list of top courses. so do i. bucket-list and all that. but i'd love to go and have an even split between "must plays" and "just founds." i bet there's a ton of gunpowder-esque courses over there that no one writes about that are just amazing places to be, not just for the golf.

No golf for me this weekend. I hardly ever play on weekends anyway, but our church works with Rebuilding Montgomery (Habitat for Humanity) on a house in Montgomery County and the workday is tomorrow. However, the guy who runs it always picks a house that needs more work than can be done in a day, so some of us work on it on Sunday as well.

[siegel159]

Heading up to NJ this weekend for some family time. Gonna get a round in with a buddy at Fox Hollow in Quakertown, PA. Neither of us have played it, but it's cheap and about half way between us, so it'll work.

I'm with you on this. Read an article about East Lothian in Golf Digest ages ago. Essentially, can go to an area like that and just spend the entire trip there. Instead of playing 36 and then racing to the next stop on the greatest hits tour, you can enjoy the town and hit some lesser known, but still awesome links. Seems like that might be more enjoyable. Can do that in other areas as well - Aberdeen, Preswick. Different way to do the trip and something to consider.

Gotta be fewer holes-in-one too. Kingsbarn looked like you'd be in for half a hole-in-one a round with the caddie.

Yeah - and if you do East Lothian, you can make over to St. Andrews for a day as well to get the Old Course in. Just seems like it might be a better trip at the end of the day. Less travel, more beer, more time to get a true sense of a specific place/town.

Golf trip to the UK? I'll play anywhere as long as I have the 3 main food groups : fish n chips, meat pies, and beer.

What tees will we be playing in the Capitol Cup? White? Blue? A mix?

 

OCGolfRick, CityGame, DT15, CDMackFisher in the first group off.

That's what you call having pull with the organizers.

Looking forward to playing with Kent,get to see a pro in action (Cart girl/bartender that is).

it's a good question. i think you should tee off from both boxes and play each ball out and then tell me which one worked worst for you.

 

only then will a tee box determination be made.

 

 

 

 

in actuality: white.

[Ocgolfrick]

I plan on hitting from every tee box. That will give me more time to spend with Fabb's man with the muscles: DT15.

 

Dibs on putting the suntan oil on him.

DT, he's just trying to get Officer Gill's number...

You guys are killing me, I had forgotten how good it is to be young enough to plan for something 7 years in advance.

[jhbangas]

I hope you guys hire Ja Rule to plan your 2024 trip. Live a life of luxury.

I didn't think Ja would be the one to create a real life Lost.

 

Google Fyre Festival if you have no idea what I'm talking about.
