Just a wee video showing my home course, Stromness Golf Club. I wish the weather was always like this.

And very nice it looks too. Looks a bit windy though. Could do with a couple of thousand trees for me

I was in Stromness 2 years ago, didn't notice the golf course, is it out west of the town?

Course looks wide open, guessing you can hit it just about anywhere off the tee and still have a look at the green? Wind must be a killer, drives going either 80 yards or 400 yards I expect!

Looks superb, especially on a sunny day 😀

The course is out at the South End of the town. You're right, it is fairly open but the rough is quite thick and the ball sits right down in it so its tough to get out of. The greenkeeper has it like this as its the main defence the course has. You're also right about the wind.
