Golf course

[take_a_pop]

3 friends and myself, have jetted into Campbeltown on quite a few occasions over the last 20 or so years,mostly for golf trips around Europe, recently we read that there is a real possibility of a new course being built. This interests me greatly, is this a rumour or is it really going to happen.? Where will they build it. Anyone know anything.?

Not 100% sure about this one popper, but you could send a pm to Parrafin man, he own the airfield, or get in touch with John G, he owns the copy rights. But dont quote me on any of the above, i got the info off a ring on Bubbly Jock,s leg. Or have i had wan too many.

Ninja mania, thank you, but your infomation was not required.
John, thank you for your PM,s you explained the answers to my question, in a very proffesional manner, i look forward to your updates on this subject. Thank you once again.

If I was you Jean I would put the jet hire money in the old hipper for about a year at least. It would take some time for a new course to establish root bases on greens for example, before allowing golfers on them.

With reference to the PMs can you share the news on these? I am sure we are all intrigued to find out any information about the golf course??

Hoots the Scoop.
As you are no doubt well aware,PM,s are personall messages, which are sent to members, away from the view of the public.
I do not wish to break the confidentiallity of the member who sent it. I feel to do this would be unjustified and incensitive.
He assures me that what he has told me, is no more than local knowledge already knows, ie, where it may be situated,etc,etc.
I am sure you will understand my respect for his privacy.

In reply to this, may i just say, the jet was not on hire.

Aye right!! On second thoughts pop, maybe you should spend the money on tightening up the spelling a wee bit. I'm really surprised your teacher/private tutor was so lax in that part of your education. Unless of course it was because a phonetician was in your employ during your formative years. Yes, that would explain it! A phonetician.
Perhaps next time you do a fly past you could pop in and take me with you for a wee scoot in your nice metal burdie?
You know take_a_pop, you're as well here as wherr ye urr, cos there's never naebody naewhere to gi naebody a haun tae dae naething. And that's a fact!!

Thank you Pete Reek for your few fine words.
I am guilty of a few typing errors, that is true, who is perfect in this subject ?, a limited few i,d say.
Not everyone sits with a dictionary in hand, as you clearly do.
Did you notice that Phoney, follows phonetician could this refer to you.
I have no need nor do i wish too,justify myself to you.
I have nowhere in any of my previous posts said anything regarding my education, only that hard work got me where i am today, and if that is my crime,then god help me, for i am guilty as charged.

[Pete Reek]

Ah, take_a_pop. I may as well admit right now that I'm afraid I don't have to sit with a dictionary.Sorry about that!
You are correct that you don't have to justify yourself to me, nor did I make any such request that you do so. It's just not something that holds any interest for me I'm afraid.
Phoney is exactly what I am. Then again, everyone hiding their identity on here is, it's part of the fun. I could come on here and tell everyone that I was a _pop_ star,a lottery winner or even a wee bundle of fun, and who would know if it was true or not?
Yourself?

While I was up in Kintyre last week I vivised the old airforce base which is being developed by a builder. The woman in the site office told me there was to be a new golf course. Someone else I met told me the farm house next to the houses was being developed into a new club house. Don't know how much of this is gossip though.

[take_a_pop]

Hi Pamelam5,
Slight variation to the news i was given, regarding the siting of the new clubhouse, a member told me that he saw a plan for the new clubhouse positioned near the beach, it also had a raised jetty attached to it running down beach and into the sea,with docking points for up to 20 yachts.
There was a new entry road coming in near a large car park on the road leading out of kintyre, which would be for private members only.There is an old quarry in the area that has enough room to land and house 10 helicopters. it appears to be well thought out, but not a course that the local folk can play on, that may well be its downfall.

Can i just say i viewed the plans when they were on show earlier this year.
I studied them in great detail and dont remember there being any plans for a jetty on the beach or anything about helicopters! I was also assured that this would be a public golf course and not a private club. Anyway i think this is a great venture as it is going to bring much needed business to the town,which has gone downhill slightly over the years!

I think Eugene is pulling your leg Poppy, his profile give's the game away.

Or maybe he knows something we don't

How could you think a good Irish man like myself could be pulling your leg ? its not me who made up a story, that was a story i posted from a
Townie.

Even forgot to mention the new Metro being built, apparently to link up
with the old coal train that used to run from your town to Machrihanish coalpit, i think MacAlpine boys are have the old train almost up and running again.
