peasy23 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Watching the Italian Open, find this course pretty uninspiring. Suppose it will be different come Ryder Cup time when it's packed with fans, but there doesn't seem to be many exciting holes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such my official handicap is still 22.4. Today’s score.. Heres hoping I keep that up in my next proper round! Normal service resumed yesterday… 50 shots for the front nine. Almost two a hole worse than two days earlier. Back nine was far better… I’d got myself back down to being one under my handicap with some nice stuff… until the 17th. Lost a ball off the tee, then hooked another one into a really shit lie. Then twatted it into a tree, then took three shots to get out the rough under the tree. Then walked off in a huff It would be boring if it was easy all the time right enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 That’s me now played Lenzie, Kirkintilloch, and Bishopbriggs all for the first time, in a two week spell of great weather. Will definitely stick my name in for the Kirkintilloch and Bishopbriggs Senior Opens next season. Both in great condition. Like most ‘normal’ courses, a couple of bland holes here and there, and I didn’t like the 4th hole at Bishopbriggs, but mostly really excellent courses. The stretch at Bishopbriggs from the 14th thru 17th are brilliant holes. 18th is more straightforward, but a nice finishing hole. Won’t play Lenzie again, that hill up their 5th hole. It’s a killer. 🫣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I remember is a Par 3 green nestled amongst big mounds. The hole might have been named something to do with rabbits? Rabbit holes in the mounds. I may have imagined that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Probably the 4th. No idea what it's called though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have imagined the hole being named ‘rabbit something’. Pretty sure there were rabbit warrens in all the mounds though. Was a long, long, time ago. 🫣 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Lots of cracking courses in that area though. Cawder is probably the one with the biggest reputation, but is the weakest IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But get a buggy, it's a hell of a walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit a wild high slice with driver today which would have tested the limits of the fence, especially if I was on the top tier.

I can remember watching the ball in the air thinking there's a lot of glass in that building, and praying that the ball hit stone instead, which fortunately it did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
