I just played Muirfield 2 weeks ago and you are spot on with your opinion regarding the course, I respect your honesty you could of easily not shown you're 3 putts, I did the same thing with out a caddie the greens were very challenging to read. Watching your video is like replaying my own round, your videos are truly authentic. Thanks, Bob from California

Quite a coup getting Muirfield onboard. Well done Ru, great video

They knew about my plan to document my round but to say they were on board would be a stretch! Certainly didn't stop me.

Enjoyed your video. Thanks for the candid assessment. We will be playing Muirfield along with many others in October and one of those I’d the Glen Golf Club just up the road. Understand it’s a modest little gem. Happy trails to you.

Nice course vlog Ru. As you've said the first one of Muirfield I've seen. Well done!

Brilliant stuff Ru. I was meant to play last year but was rescheduled to June this year. Heard lots of things but this video has helped to actually see it. Pretty much the advice I was given seems to stand, hit the fairways and practice your bunker shots in any case!

This is as close as I'll ever get to playing Muirfield........well done.

Played the course in March, great footage

Great video! Looks like you had some tough conditions. I’d love to play Muirfield one day. I’m on a quest to play all Open venues, but I’ve heard it’s not as visually appealing / enjoyable as say Carnoustie or Turnberry. Bunkering looks epic though.

Great video!!!!

Beautiful golf course. ⛳ Guys got a little scoop in his shot tho ayee 😄 had to say it

I'm from Liverpool and come up to east Lothian every couple of years. Really enjoy Gullane no2 and Dunbar. Will be playing those again in September this year

Great video. Only just found out about the podcast. 😊

I love watching a regular guy play regular golf. I have been a fan of the podcast for a long time. Great work Ru. If i can get over i hope to meet you for a round

Ru Macdonald - Scottish Golf Podcast too many course in my list. It will depend on the group and other factors but a mix of The bigs and hidden gems will be the way i would like to start. I have the ebook you guys produced and love the idea of concentrated areas and not spend a lot if time in the road.

Great video and quality play. I had no idea private course did stuff like this. I think they all should to grow the game. Maybe a day or a block or time to allow public play. Awesome opportunity you got! Would kill to play some of the great courses in Scotland

Muirfield has always been pretty good with outside visitor play on Tuesday and Thursday. It helps keep their member subs down every year I guess, a model adopted by almost all the world-class links member courses here.

Ru Macdonald - Scottish Golf Podcast that’s great! Glad they do that. Definitely helps grow the game

My son played there in the early eighties with his father.He played of 2 handicap at the time.He started with a six then had seventeen fours in a row.

I would not play this guy at a 9!! man's got some skills

Well done.. Was suppose to play last year for my 40 birthday but the world shut down.. re-booked for 2022. Playing every Scottish Open course (past and present). Looking forward to this one more than any other. Did you have their lunch? I hear it’s wonderful.

Outstanding! I presume you prefer North Berwick more?

Out of 10 rounds, give me 9 at NB, 1 here. But that's just me. Would love to play it in calm conditions again.

Drive that swing down clear till impact. No push up or scoop and you'll gain 5 strokes instantly. Promise.

Would have liked it if you could have given more info about the holes You hitting shots is nice but not compelling

People in the pro shop? There is no pro shop at Muirfield

notdrivingaminimetro definitely have a proshop. A new addition in the last year I believe. Lots of merchandise to buy direct from the club now 👌

Snooty old boys club with social views still in the 1900s. Anyone watching, just go and play at Gullane or Luffness. Muirfield isn’t worth the hype. Way better courses out there in East Lothian which are visitor friendly.
