Ryder Cup Golf Groups for Gleneagles...it's starting to kick off!

Haven't even published the options for the Ryder Cup yet and have so many clients keen to sign up to one of our self catering properties that we will use as a fully catered golfing venue for that week.

It'll be great to see so many of our clients coming in to town at one time for this event!

The website is currently under construction but we'll post the Ryder Cup options as soon as we can. 

Last Sunday at Gleneagles

Played the last medal of the season at Gleneagles and stopped to take this photo of the Starter's box at the first tee of the PGA Centenary course.  Nothing like playing on a day like this.

At Kingsbarns

Kingsbarns a great great course, we played today off the green tees so a little short for the skipper and I but we were giving away 13 shots which meant there was a good chance of us losing.
Here is the skipper playing over the sea at the par 3 15th in a very strong wind. We both got our 3's but it was tough.

Match at Kingsbarns

Back to blogging. Played the last golf club match for our club, Dun Ochill at Gleneagles, against Kingsbarns, at Kingsbarns.  Below is the first group out, myself and then captain standing on then first tee.

Day 4 The Old Course

The 4th day started early for four of the golfers as
they had a tee time on the Old Course...great effort rewarded with a wet but satisfying round on the mecca of golf courses. The boys can be seen here all finishing from the 'Valley of Sin' on the 18th, with varying results. The weather was wet and windy........typical Scottish weather!

The second group also manage a tee time at around 13.30 on the Old and set forth in strong winds and still persistent rain. Some of the first group arrived to give moral support and wished them well.  Both groups took caddies and most enjoyed that experience. This day's golf was finished off with a long night out on the town for some of the players getting to bed a little later than anticipated.

Here are the second group all lined up in front off the R&A Club House just before teeing off...an amazing experience for them.

Day 2: Turnberry & The Whisky Experience

The gents at the Whisky Experience

On the morning of the second day, three of the group missed out on the practice to take part in the The Whisky Experience just up the road from Turnberry. They bought two special single cask bottles of whisky for friends and family back home and so popular was this little excursion, that the remainder of the group went back the next day. Back to the hotel for more lunch and more dessert!!!

The afternoon of day two was a windy but sunny one and the boys got ready for their round on the Ailsa Championship Course. The last photo shows one of the boys about to tee off on the open championship tee at the Lighthouse hole and what a shot over the bay which, on this occasion, was struck to perfection into the middle of the fairway!!!!!  You can just see the sea and the fairway in the distance in this last photograph.
