I was a late starter to the game and yet to reach the single figure handicap target I’d initially set myself. The Seniors Tour debut will have to wait a little longer.
Following several years working for a Golf equipment manufacturer, my interest progressed from the tournaments, the players, and the golfing toys, on to the courses themselves.
I wouldn’t describe myself as a “list chaser”, but I do love experiencing interesting 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.
Talk about an inauspicious start. A fairly tatty uphill par 3. The sweeping second might have been a better option as an opener, but in truth none of the plain sailing op...
The first 5 holes here are nothing special but things pick up on the run from 6-9, which see a coastal hole, a nice drive to an angled rising fairway, a squeezed short 4...
You have to admit the sound of a golf ball smashing into a tree trunk always has significant comedy value (as long as it’s your mate’s ball).
Here I was standing in a fa...
Walton Heath doesn’t get off to a great start. To get to the 1st hole, you cross a road from the clubhouse to reach this Par 3 (in itself rarely a good sign), and then cr...
Hilversum is a tough championship test and a peaceful tree lined walk in the forest. It’s also a bit narrow for the average golfer and you could argue a few holes are rat...
Taking a suggestion from my Golf travel agent Aberdeen Angus (a local firm), we tagged this course on to our Cruden Bay pilgrimage. I might be heeding their advice again...
A few holes in - it was the 4th or 5th - and I thought I was still at the beach. Perhaps after picking me up at the coast the taxi driver just drove around in circles for...
Not sure how you’d categorize Sheringham. It’s not a links but plays a bit like one - much like a firm heathland that’s been transposed to a pretty attractive clifftop se...
If you ask any democrat politician to describe Donald Trump, you’re unlikely to get a positive assessment. I’m a bit like that with courses like this. And in Holland wher...
A projected 90 minute journey turned into 210 due to the seasonal traffic escaping back up the M5. “Bleddy Grockles”, as Mum might say. The Pro was great about it, and af...
Much like with the East course, the first hole on the West is a great getaway. It requires a solid drive left centre fairway, and then a mid or short iron up into a raise...
Enjoyed my round here. Not the best course you’ll ever play but it’s “different”, good value, and at the midpoint between Royal North Devon and St Enodoc.
Many holes h...
Nunspeet offers a very pleasant environment to enjoy a round in Holland and is worth a visit if you are in the area.
Tee shots are often well framed and it’s a pretty wa...
So we dropped off our friend at the Spa just down the road (when in Rome, he said) and 10 minutes later we were on the first tee. It was an incredibly hot day and we hope...
Making my way over to Waverley Country Club directly after an 11 hour flight from Europe was not ideal preparation. Although I did manage to watch Caddyshack in the plane...
Only 3 reviews? I’d better write something then. Played here in late July 2014, so not seen the recent bunker renovation mentioned below. Funnily enough some of them were...
If Trump International Golf Links Scotland was an intimate relationship, it probably would be a one night stand. A stormy affair with an adult film star perhaps. You migh...
My first trip to Cruden Bay was pretty much like a pilgrimage. A heavily anticipated visit to a course I knew I could fall for. Still, good to calm down and reserve judge...
If Portmarnock was an intimate relationship, it probably wouldn’t be a one night stand. It’s not a thrilling one-off encounter with a piece of Eye-Candy. No Dumb Blonde o...
Some of the features on show here - 120 yard green at the 12th, horseshoe green at the 13th, sleepered bunkers, conspicuous burn protecting the 18th green - could split o...
