I'm taking my lad to Scotland this summer to celebrate him graduating high school, and to see my mum & brothers in England. We're planning on spending a day at the British Open, probably the thursday. However for the few days before and after we plan on playing golf. I'm doing this all on the cheap as i'm not scared of renting a tiny Fiat and driving around etc, having been there many times before. I could use some advice. I'm looking to play some courses where a high handicapper would feel comfortable. Does anyone have any recommendations. We're looking to play 5 or 6 rounds while we are there.

Many thanks in advance

Bob

http://www.alford-golf-club.co.uk/ try there it is a good course it definatley would make a high handicapper feel comfortable and it is only about £20 it is quite flat but has some good bunker position and if you come like the day after an open the pins will be in good positions to challenge you

there is also alot of water on the back nine the 16th is the signature hole pretty much one of my mates during a medal round shot a 15 without going in the water

Hi Bob, I have been golfing in Scotland for over 35 years (and will be at The Open too). Will happily give you all the advice you need. Do get in touch by sending me a PM. Regards. N

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.
