Just found out today we have got rid of internal out of bounds on two of our holes for the next six months as a trial.
For those that know the course these are on the 4th (Stroke Index 1 and the 10th (Stroke Index 2) Not sure if I think it is a good idea or not. Not that keen on internal out of bounds normally but by playing down the 16th fairway on 4 and the 18th on 10 it could actually make the holes easier. It seems likely to slow play down whilst you have to wait for golfers to play from the wrong fairways.
I think that if we do abolish the internal out of bounds permanently, we should move the tee on four back into the trees to make it almost impossible to deliberately play down the wrong fairway. Not sure what could be done on 10 apart from planting some huge trees to stop a direct route to the 18th fairway.
Have a feeling the first time someone gets hit walking up their own fairway the trial may be over. In the meantime it does make two of the hardest holes on the course easier so not all bad for a wild driver like me.:whoo:
Anyone else got internal out of bounds, and do they work or should they be abolished. Also anyone that has played Blackmoor and can remember the holes what do you think.
