fat-tiger
Challenge Tour Pro
just back from royal cinque ports ,deal week,
very traditional 2 ball and foursums club,very nice clubhouse and excellent food, rcp is some course,carnt really think of an easy hole on the course, and they just keep coming at you, big greens with plenty of pace ,and plenty of slopes, the finish from the 12th inwards is a tough a finish as anywer , played normally into wind,and its strong par 4 after strong par 4,we was lucky enough that the rough has just started to brown off,so you could find your ball,a few weeks ago i bet it was a nightmare,but still did lose a fair few, once you get to the green the game starts all over again,3 putt never far away
stand out holes for me
1st hole ,not for the faint hearted ,out bounds right,due to the road and clubhouse, right heavy rough,ditch runs infront the green,
3rd, great par 4 ,par5 off whites, need a good drive down to a mound and 2 bunkers right, a good drive still leave you with around 200yrds in ,does play abit shorter as green is in a massive bowl,great hole
4th nice par 3 over scrub with the green the other way on
5th strong par 5, left or right for 2nd shots and your ball will find a bunker,really nice green
6th looks like a short par 4 on the card, but 2nd shot to a highly raised green is frought with danger, easy to run up a big score
8th par 3 around 150 yrds surrounded by bunkers
9th par 4 slight left hand dogleg ,with a bunker on left corner,which my ball kept finding, strong 2nd shot needed to find the massive green
12th stroke 1 par4 455yrds, strong drive needed,and still end up with a long 2nd shot to a great green in a valley type of style
14th strong par 3 ,220yrds ish slighty raised ,with plenty of bunkers
15th again strong par 4, 2 bunkers right of fairway bang on driving distance, long 2nd in to a green in a slight dip
16th par 5 need a good drive to get you going , raised green that looks like they have buried elephants under there
18th stood on the tee there doesnt look like there is much of a fairway, but does open up once down there, descent 2nd shot needed to a slighty raised green, many a good score,been thrown away here
really friendly people and carnt wait to go back next year,
went 300 miles and ended playing the 2nd round of the medal with a lad who was in machrihanish gm forum scotish meet, small world
