September 2024 - Ladybank and Crail

Some people will be arriving at the Bank Hotel on Sunday night and some will roll into Edinburgh over the weekend. Yes, its happening and the match pleasantries begin on Monday from 11:30am at Ladybank Golf Club in Fife, Scotland. The match will take place over the two courses of the Crail Golfing Society, one of the oldest having been founded in 1786, its just a joyous place to play golf. Our venues over the years have been at the end of peninsulars where the elements enjoy entertaining the golfers as much a the golfers do with their shotmaking, 2024 will be no different. What will be different is the half way house. On Craighead, both mornings, there is a natural return to near the clubhouse and yours truly will be attending to the needs of the passing players. Balcomie in the afternoon, on tuesday and wednesday, will see refreshments near the toilet at the 10th and behind the 12th green.

after a gripping first day...

We ate! We drunk and we talked. Pretty much at the same time as everyone else  In fact I think if we weren't discussing long socks it was all about the golf. You could argue the only thing missing was a man telling us Aberdeen would win the cup again soon! There were small stories and tall ones There were short ones and really really long ones Oh what fun we had before heading to bed for 10pm

This is mostly true, although in the post dinner analysis it was clear that the same casualties do tend to declare their hand early and are, exceptionally reliable.
