Heading off to play three crackers this bank holiday weekend in Scotland.

Turnberry followed by Royal Dornoch and then Brora ,some travel in between but Brora in particular is meant to be unreal.

Trump is an ass but by god the changes in that course and Turnberry in general cannot be underestimated, very decent price and easy to get too from Belfast, well worth a visit for many on here.

Are you based over there or taking the motor over? The ferry is a scandalous price at times

You are fond of a round if you are heading away up to Sunderland!

I've heard that Trump's courses are unreal.

Would love to spend a month driving Scotland's coast and playing golf.

Me and a few mates are heading up to play all 3 courses at Rossapena. 195 euro for all 3. I've never played it so looking forward to it. My aim this summer is to play 5 or 6 of the top courses. It's that bloody expensive for some of them though that it totally puts me off. I don't care how good the course is, I wouldn't pay near £300 for it.

Where did you get this deal? I've a week in Downings to kill in August and that sounds about perfect. Play 18 and off to the harbour bar for a liquid lunch, just need to get the permission slip stamped now!

I rang their pro shop but it's actually on their website as well. Definitely going to make the most of that deal.

I have Bandon Dunes booked for next March - 6 rounds in 4 days

The 2 leaders +3 and +2 for the first 4 holes this could be entertaining enough!

Estimator

Taken from Twitter:

If Kokrak wins, Spieth will be 10-for-20 in his PGA Tour career converting 54-hole leads.

JT, DJ, Rory all between 50-60% converting last 10 years.

Tour average last 10 seasons when leading/co-leading is just 35%.

Tiger - 55-for-59 - is totally insane
Ulster League Champions 2009

All I'm reading from that is Tiger is a bottler
