Earlsferry Thistle Golf Club

Played the Earlsferry Thistle Open on Sat.8 June 2002. There was a haar hanging around from the nearby shoreline which lifted for a while before returning near the end of the round, reducing visibility considerably. The course was a joy to play, with some really testing holes where the greens slope away to the back making it very difficult to hit and hold on them. A very good test of golf, with penal rough off the fairways catching errant shots. The best aspect of the day out, however, was the friendliness of the local members in the clubhouse after where a few beers were had whilst discusing the finer points of the days play. The Ship Inn at the harbour rounded the day off nicely with some excellent seafood for the two of us before heading for Dunfermline for their Open next day. Two rounds of top class links and parkland golf for 18 quid - the offers in the 'Wee Yellow Book' are not to be missed!

Elie golfcourse\r\nMy favourite golfcourse in Scotland.\r\nQuit easy in good weather and a monster in rain and wind.\r\nThe little town, the kindly people and the nice athmosphere\r\nhave done me to a scotsmen.\r\n\r\nI will always come back to Elie.\r\n
