I'm playing a new course for the first time... (Rolling thread)

[rickg]

2 new courses for me over the next 2 days:

Knole park in Sevenoaks tomorrow for a warm up round before heading off to:

Rye, East Sussex for a 36 hole MidAm on Thursday......quite a few off here playing it, ( Robobum and Radbourne plus 6 from the Centurion.

Heard good things about both courses.

Played Beadles Lake just north of Leicester for the first time yesterday. Nice course with fairly wide tree lined fairways (although I kept slicing my tee shots into the trees). Very well kept greens, although they were quite slow. I would recommend it to a beginner as there is not too much trouble to run into.

I wonder if that's why Region3 is a member 😂😂😂😂

Rye is a very traditional and very old school club, I popped in a couple of times when staying at a holiday cottage I used to own and rent out in Camber Sands, I never got on the course, it was restricted to Foursomes and strict format times, very strict dress codes also, I never saw the course busy over the 4 years I had the house when walking Max across the dunes overlooking it, it looks nice and they were planning some changes to extend it a couple of years ago, not sure if they did!

Don't hook it on the 1st, the road runs alongside it 😜🏌

Did you remember about playing at Wigan because we mentioned pies 🤔😂

Yes, Jason from MidAm has done a great job getting them to agree to host the MidAm tour.
We'll be the first event ever to play the new 18 hole Jubilee course and they only normally hold County or National events there, so again a rare treat to play 36 hole medal play. We're playing in 2 balls and expected to take around 3 hours.
I won't be wearing shorts though as its "long socks with turnover tops"

3 new courses for me this weekend in La Manga. First up, the North Course on Saturday, the West Course on Sunday and Roda GC on Monday.
Shaping up to be a scorcher as well.

Will look forward to a good review write up, good luck 👍🏌

West Course you have to plot your way around, I took loads of hybrids of tees there as it's tight in places and position is more important then distance.

Never played the North as of yet. South is a very nice course, played it twice 36 points both times and won both times

Goes without saying doesn't it?

Lol, I struggled that day. But day after on the South after two very poor holes played well. Even hit my irons very nicely. That disappeared the next day though 😭😭

Just over two weeks until I go down to play Broadstone, Parkstone and Ferndown, all for the 1st time.
Heard really good things about all three so really looking forward to it.

I'm playing The Berkshire next Thursday, both courses. Very much looking forward to it, as long as I don't play as badly as last night.

Don't automatically reach for driver - especially at Parkstone. Enjoy - they are all good!

Roda's okay. Not the best course in the area, but not bad by any means. Not the longest, is crammed into quite a small area but is good fun, not the most challenging course you'll play. Worth checking out the restaurant too, had the best cheesecake I've ever had there, was tremendous.

Age must be catching up with you Rob, it's just UNDER 2 weeks......w/e of 11/12th. Watch out for the dodgy members though

You've obviously never played with 'Tapper' Smith before
