I’m doing a masters at Cambridge University (in my late 40`s) and have decided to try and get onto the university golf team! I want to try and play against Oxford in the varsity matches…
up the light blues!
I felt something similar OP, played a lot as a junior and wanted to work in the game, eventually time and reality combined with new kids in my late 40`s meant no time to play. I relinquished my membership and hung the clubs up 18 months ago at a 7 handicap in a very decent club at Brocket hall...
as LT said, but you can add Bambrugh and Alnwick castles but you would need to pay to get in as they are privately owned.
