Found this the other day, brought back a lot of happy memories, over 35 years ago I first played here, and we did get flooded in,
Royal West Norfolk Golf Club.
We have a lot of non Metro courses where the rating is wrong, one way to increase the rating is to put in more bunkers, trouble with that is the Country courses do not have the staff to maintain them, hence they will not do it.
Most of these small Country courses are maintained by volunteers...
Played at my other club today and started bogey & bogey, handicap of 2 so that's gone, turned 2 over and played the back nine 1 over for a 75, we have a Golf Australia Official turning up in the next week, I have suggested to get him to play the course and see what he thinks about the rating...
Nice 32C today, was two over after 8 holes and then made a double bogey on index 1 our 9th hole from 10 yards off the green.
Missed a hole in one on the 10th by and inch.....and played the back nine 2 under for a 74 off the stick.
Could have been so much better, but am pleased with the way I...
Why I did not play recent Open 4bbb......51 points for the winner, normally only 48-49 points the last few years......so I am a burden on my playing partner.
Played most courses in Suffolk, loved Purdis.....mate was a member so played often on Guest day, also played Rushmere but can not recall it as well, so maybe not that impressive to me.
Second round today and had 31 points, short game was very ordinary.
Did check the scores in the Friday 4bbb, 51 points won, I wonder why I don't enter these any more, would need to shoot course record or have a partner on 36 handicap who play like a 18 handicapper.
