DEER PARK CHALLENGE - SEPTEMBER 2017

DEER PARK CHALLENGE – SEPTEMBER 2017

Deer Park 36 Hole Challenge 25th & 26th September

Plenty of overnight rain meant there was a delay with the morning times on the opening day of this event. Deer Park can get fairly wet at times and play was almost cancelled for the day if we got any more rain. This gave me the chance to chat with some of the guys in the bar area.

One was particularly interested in the ministry so this gave me a…

P & H CHAMPIONSHIP - SEPTEMBER 2017

P & H CHAMPIONSHIP – SEPTEMBER 2017

The P & H Championship – Renaissance Club(18th & 19th September)

This event normally takes place earlier in the year around May/June time but has been put back to late September due to the venue. This has loaded the schedule for the end of the year along with the Scottish PGA Championship in October but probably not a bad time to have it.

It’s nice to go to a venue like The Rennaissance Club as…

KLM DUTCH OPEN - SEPTEMBER 2017

KLM DUTCH OPEN – SEPTEMBER 2017

KLM Dutch Open @ ‘The Dutch’ GC Spijk Rotterdam September 12- 14

The second consecutive year at this venue and last year’s sunshine was replaced by high winds and rain then more rain. Add a pinch of chilly weather and you have a recipe for suspended play and a rain soaked, well, everybody and everything …

Golf is, a little surprisingly, the third biggest sport in the Netherlands behind football…

CZECH MASTERS - AUGUST 2017

CZECH MASTERS – AUGUST 2017

Czech Masters Albatross Golf Resort Prague August 29 – 31

This is the fourth year of this ‘new’ tournament in a country where golf is barely even a minority sport – ice hockey rules! Mind you in the three days there we touched 30 degrees every day, not exactly ice hockey weather …

As with the general trend of greater openings at the smaller events [playing for the smallest purse of the season,…

SCOTTISH PGA CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING - AUGUST 2017

SCOTTISH PGA CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING – AUGUST 2017

Scottish PGA Championship Qualifying – Crieff 30/8/17

There always seems to be a good day for this event or maybe it’s just the location. A very pleasant morning in the heart of Scotland and not too far from Gleneagles sits the always well presented Ferntower course in Crieff.

I was playing with two players from the east coast, whom I have come across a few times in years gone by as they are my…

Douglas Park Pro-Am - August 2017

Douglas Park Pro-Am – August 2017

Douglas Park Golf Club hosts one of the few Pro-Ams that I always play in each year due to where it is and there is always a healthy support for this Pro-Am, meaning plenty of Professionals required for it. After the weather of the previous 2 days I was not even sure if the event would go ahead but no messages from the PGA that morning so business as usual.

On arrival I made my way to the…

KERR INVESTMENTS PRO-AM QUALIFYING - AUGUST 2017

KERR INVESTMENTS PRO-AM QUALIFYING – AUGUST 2017

Kerr Investments 36 Hole Pro-Am Qualifying

An early rise again for my journey down to Dumfries as I was off at 8.10am, and it takes about 90 minutes to get there. A beautiful morning was provided for my birthday and driving through the hills of the M74 with the blue sky above was clear evidence of God’s creation.

After arriving I got myself sorted and made my way to the tee. I was looking forward…

NORTHERN IRELAND OPEN - AUGUST 2017

NORTHERN IRELAND OPEN – AUGUST 2017

Challenge Tour – NI Open Galgorm Castle GC Ballymena Nth Ireland August 7-11

Our Christian caddie from SA was to be in town this week, but I’m afraid that having arrived at Dublin airport and being asked where he was headed and informing said authorities he was going to Northern Ireland, he found out his visa didn’t take him into the United Kingdom …. Had he said, he was staying in the Republic…

LADIES BRITISH OPEN – AUGUST 2017

The Ladies British Open – Kingsbarns July 31st – 3rd August

Having made my LOGOS Golf Ministries debut at Dundonald Links in Irvine for the Ladies’ Scottish Open, I travelled onwards to Kingsbarns. This was the venue for the British Open – a major week on the other side of Scotland.

I visited Monday qualifying at the Castle Course where tension was high. For those who hadn’t qualified…

Deer Park Masters – 1st & 2nd August

A month after qualifying for this 36-hole Order of Merit Pro-Am, I was back at Deer Park to do it all over again. A course I always enjoy and was looking forward to the two days ahead. The top 25 players in the country along with the 25 qualifiers make up the 50-player field for the professional event and this is a good test of where your game is compared to…

Porsche European Open Green Eagle GC Hamburg July 25 – 27

A good week in Hamburg …. As ever at the ‘smaller’ events, although at €2 million prize fund that might be something of a misnomer, but you know what I mean, I am able to get around more easily without the entourages that are prevalent at the ‘bigger’ tournaments …

We had a super little bible study outdoors at the Players Lounge, with six…

Bothwell Castle Pro-Am 23/7

It’s been a while since I have been to Bothwell and although a course full of straight forward holes it has some very tricky greens that are difficult to read. A decent forecast meant short sleeves which has been a very rare occurrence this year. No complaints.

I was playing with 3 members from Bothwell. I met one as I walked to the tee and realised we had met before…

The 146th Open @ Royal Birkdale GC Southport July 18-21

This was the last of my three week ‘home from home’ tournaments and this time I was invited to stay at the home of Keith and Irene MacIntosh [Keith a past Logos board member] and so travel to Birkdale in my own car with Keith who acted as my SatNav and introduction to, what seemed like, everyone who lives in the North-West of England … Ten…

The ‘Rolex Series’ moves onto its third event in a row [France, Irish >>] on the West coast of Scotland with another €7 million prize fund, rich pickings these three weeks, to be followed by the €10 million Open next week …. Money, money, money – lots of TV coverage and the ‘big guns’ out in force from the USA and all around the world …

Deer Park Masters & AAM Scottish Open Qualifying

A very busy week this week with two visits to Deer Park and Barassie for qualifying events so I will try to condense this into one report without rambling on too much.

Deer Park

The Deer Park Masters is one of the main order of merit events of the year and an event I enjoy playing due to the course and a fantastic buffet lunch. This qualifying…

Irish Open – Portstewart GC Northern Ireland July 4-6

This is a ‘home’ event for me with Portstewart just ‘up the road’ from Ballymena and it was difficult to walk any more than 10 yards without bumping into someone you know, they pretend not to know me, but I pay no attention to that …

Having a bit more time than I normally have at events meant I was able meet up one – to – one with a few folks,…
