Hi All,
I was lucky enough to get an invite from Fundy to go and play Broket Hall last Wednesday.
As you will see from the first photo it is a rather lovely and special venue and as soon as I drove down the drive I knew it was going to be a good day.
We met and had a quick coffee on the veranda before making our way to the A1 practice facilities.
I was a little let down by the pyramid of Titleist NXT Tour balls as one of them had a wet blade of grass on it...
After a quick warm up we made our way up the hill to the Palmerston course, a bit of a man sized test, we elected to play off the whites... I have no idea what Steve`s dad wanted to hand that advantage to his son! I think it was something like 6800 yards and change.... 7060 yards off the blues!
The atmosphere of the club and Palmerston course is really lovely, surrounded by very old pine trees the course looks like it has been there forever and there are no holes you can blast... every one was a test and every one was different!
Being a bit of a day out and seemingly having the course to ourselves we stopped a few times for coffee and food at the "halfway" house that we seem to come back to rather a lot.
Steve and his dad played really well, they have very different games and it went all the way to the last... I perhaps got a bit of a lesson but did not embarrass myself and played a few really special shots through the day.
I was really blown away by the place and really really looked after!
Non of us were in this bunker but it was such a cruel trap I took a pick. What you cant see is that if you were stood in it you could not see the green and the lip overhangs about 9 inches.... NASTY.
If you ever get the chance to play this course... DO IT!
A BIG thank you!
