Anyone played Bishopbriggs GC and/or Kirkintilloch GC? Looking for opinions on both if anyone out there can give a view. Ta.

I'm a member at Bishopbriggs.

I’m playing it for the first time on Friday, looking forward to it. Any tips!?

Greens had a bit of work done the other week but are well on the road to recovery now, should be fine by Friday.

Stay out the deep rough, it's horrendous in places. You don't have to hit driver all the time, a few short(ish) par 4s where being on the fairway can be better than distance. E.g. the 3rd is about 330 yards, if you hit driver then you can leave yourself a daft 3/4 shot uphill over a bunker, better off being middle of the fairway and having a full wedge to play imo.

Will report back on how I fared. I might still hit a driver at the third. Hitting a good one will leave me 200yds to the green. 😜

Wonderful stuff from Shane Lowry at Wentworth a faultless performance -17 (65). Surely enough to clinch it now?
It's not always just about the birdies and eagles, it's the shots you don't drop that matter just as much. 3 rounds without dropping a shot is superb stuff. Rory dropped one shot today, after missing the fairway on 8 with an iron off the tee, a criminal mistake at this level.
