I was a late starter to the game and am yet to reach the single figure handicap target I’d initially set myself. The Seniors Tour debut will have to wait a little bit longer.
During several years working for a Golf equipment manufacturer, my interest progressed from the golfing toys, the tournaments, & the players, on to the courses themselves.
I wouldn’t describe myself as a “list chaser”, but I do love experiencing interesting new courses. Top 100 is the perfect facilitator for this.
Amongst my favourite places visited so far are Brora, De Pan, and Bandon Dunes - and I always enjoy stepping in sheep poo at my home club Royal North Devon.
Upon arrival at the massive carpark I wondered if I’d mistakenly arrived at a Walmart. On the long walk to the clubhouse things improved as the audacious “Welcome to the...
One of the advantages of the Tiger Woods era is that golfers are now athletes. Having cleverly booked to play George Wright on the Patriots Day holiday, I’d have the plac...
Speeding down I-95 from Cape Cod to New York, bursting for the loo, with road signs coming at me from all angles for yet more places that hadn’t bothered to think up an o...
I made the mistake of reading Adam’s review below & now have little more to add. This error has likely spared all of us. Keney Park has an excellent start at 1-3, which i...
Visiting Eastward Ho! was something of a pilgrimage for this limey. It was therefore with several ironies that my drive along the thin strip of Cape Cod - passing signs f...
Today is an appropriate time to collect my thoughts on playing a newcomer like Dumbarnie. After all, it’s out with the old & in with the new. And coincidentally, I’m also...
The Castle Course features well designed attractive holes that traverse a fairly extreme hillside location. Biggest talking point might be the infamous “challenging” gree...
We played here following the previous day’s Pilgrimage to the next door neighbour. Would it consequently be a case of after the Lord Mayor’s show? Or more out with the Ol...
Southerndown, grazing sheep up ahead,Don’t forget what Tom Doak’s book said,Something special gonna come at the last,Downland fairways are running fast,Southerndown.The u...
Each time we play golf in Scotland it feels as if we are playing a game of Russian Roulette with the weather. To date, we’ve been for the most part, lucky. At Carnoustie...
From the days of Dutch sailors “kolving” their stones across this linking land, to the present day invasion from all points of the compass, many things have been written...
We had a choice - 15 mins to invest in a sensible warm up, or 5 mins to enjoy a bacon roll & cup of tea. It’s not unusual that we chose the latter and enjoyed sitting out...
One of the better 9 hole courses that I’ve played. The 1st is not great - draw it back from the JCB on the right side - before hitting into a welcoming green complex. Off...
Pennard wasn’t quite what I expected. It is like a big brother to Perranporth - that was confirmed. But it wasn’t the golfing hipster’s minimalist wet-dream that I’d hope...
Speed of play is a big issue of golf and I’d like to apply this concept to writing the following. I’ve decided to share this course summary in the time it takes me to get...
After bad weather for much of the day, we got very lucky with a fine July evening for a quick 18 at Noordwijk. So shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? No - because tho...
Describing Texel as “links-like” is just about right. There are times on the back nine when, with just the right about of imagination (& missing perhaps one or two of you...
After lining up a 36 hole day at Haviksoord & Swinkelsche, you would be forgiven for thinking I was off for a game of Quidditch with a couple of minor characters from Hog...
Hoge Kleij might be the best course in NL that you’ve never heard of. Unless you’ve heard of it. It usually hovers around the top 10 in most ranking lists, so is not unkn...
