A few piccies of Crowborough Beacon

[TXL]

Can't be as bad as the 18th at Stoneham Nick. Now that is a hill.

Hmm, it is almost the same. The difference being that you start off going downhill for 50-70 yards before climbing to a green that is way above the level of the tee......... Good job the club put a bridge in that means you do not go to the bottom of the gorge

Youth will prevail.:ears:

You need to have a bit of elevation on your shots around there Rich. Those low, scudded ones you hit won't do you any good. You'll no carry the heather!!
Might I suggest moving the ball back a little in your stance and maybe a lesson?????

The 5th is cardiac hill the rest of it isn't too bad. Had a pop at the 11th yet? I've just joined this year and love the place. Very friendly members.

You haven't met Smiffy then.


Low scudded ones. Wind cheating missiles I think you mean Rob.

From memory, that's a pretty good tee shot off the first - as long as it carries about 150!

For those of us who know 3PW, the guys on the 18th are in the most danger for his first shot of the day!

I normally hook it into the trees trying to avoid the heather

 

[Laughing Gravy]

Looks very nice.

As you know Smiffy, we'll be down in June to play it. Reminds me a little of Beaudesert from those pictures, but probably nothing like it in the flesh!

Lovely course. Played it with gm, and really enjoyed it. Played it 6 over gross last time, in the fog.

Nice to see what it looks like in daylight.

Course looks great Smiffy

Thanks for all your kind words. I'm very proud to be back there as a member.
Going to look even better in a month or so when all the trees are "in leaf" and the fairways are manicured properly.
Then I'll take some "proper" piccies.

Or just invite Paul back to take a load! I think I counted at least 5 pictures per hole yesterday!!

The best one would have been of him sliding down the ravine on his arse!

Hehehehe.
You're going down sucker

Better luck next time Rob:whoo: Loved the hole up the steep hill. Drive, sandwedge, two foot birdie putt. Don't know what all the fuss is about.Oh and I hope I didn't tarnish your favourite hole with my birdie there as well. Talk about hearing a pin drop when that 30 footer dropped in. 18th was a nice hole although I will not be taking you up your very kind offer to me for for hitting the green in two.

I'm guessing he said those immortal 'Smiffy' words....

"If you hit this green in two I'll drop on my knees and suc............."?

I had said that to him on the par 3 3rd

Very similar, and in front of Mrs Smiffy as well.
