Hankley Common.:)

My course has a bridlepath running through it. Get quite a few horse riders, and you don’t get relief as I understand horses don’t count as burrowing animals.:eek:

West Herts has lots of paths and people cycling, walking and jogging across holes, completely oblivious to golfers. On one hole a guy ran in front of the tee when I was hitting driver, death wish.

If you think it's bad now, think what it must have been like a while back. Some of the holes were changed as they used to play over the roads and at least one green was a lot closer to the road than it is now.

The old timers still moan about the course being altered and tell everyone "it's not like it used to be".

I am guessing that Berkhamsted is on common land given that it is located on Berkhamsted Common, and there are roads running through the course.
