Well im a member of a little 9 hole 2000yd course. The greens are small and not wide fairways and longest hole of 383yds uphill. Im now playing my first links golf at Burnham and berrow, in february, in a medal. Thats like learning to swim across the English channel . Whatever happens though im going to enjoy it :thup:

Playing a course as you describe, and off 12, I would think you will be more than fine on a links track, its all about plotting your way around so the narrow fairways your used to will stand you in good stead. I've played a lot of links courses last year, Formby. West Lancs, Silloth on Solway, Hoylake, Royal Porthcawl, St Annes Old Links to name just a few, some in horrendous weather (rain & wind 30mph+), so, if I can cope with that off 20, it will be a breeze for you :thup:

Don't forget your recent handicap certificate on the day

I carry my county card everywhere which has my CDH number on it, that has always been sufficient everywhere I play :thup:

Alright chaps, just seen this thread...

If you haven't played B&B before this is a really good read

albeit the course is a little longer now, i think this was written a few years back

 

[Liqdaddymac]

Great Post timchump!

looks like I will be leaving the rescue at home and taking a 2 iron just for the first tee shot!

Thanks for that. Makes very interesting reading. Lots of concentration needed.

It will have to be driver for me. Should be interesting in front of the clubhouse on a windy day !

 

[El Bandito]

Bit quiet here so a cheeky bump is in order.

Is everything still as per the tee times above as that was before the cut-off date?

Hope the weather holds, I've got a chalet for 3 days with HID and the dog in tow :smirk:

where you staying Fish? I have shamelessly copied the plan (although with my HID and my dog) Chalet party?:cheers:

We are at Wall Eden Farm (.co.uk)

Fantastic find! Well done.

i think that I may have just soiled myself......but looking forward to playing what seems to be a beauty of a course.

..........and taking a 2 iron just for the first tee shot!

Prevailing wind is straight into down the first - a couple of VERY good 2irons will be required to get within pitching distance!

Not sure why it has to be a medal, does it really matter how you decide the winner? Trust me, there is going to be a lot of walking back to the tee! Stableford is the sensible option.

I'm 3 miles away on the front in a chalet with a private pathway to the beach, 2/3rds of that mileage is the course!

Sounds like a challenge!

If it's playing longer than 450y then then par will have to be made with an up and down

:rofl:

I played in their scratch event last April. The 1st is 380 yards off the back tees and 369 off the yellow plates. Straight into the wind the green was out of reach for a lot of people. If it's blowing you might be trying to get up and down from 100 yards

 

[Liqdaddymac]

Was that the challenge salver? My mate won that last year! Said it was 36 holes in very, very tough conditions.

It was indeed, good event!

 

[Liqdaddymac]

Hopefully get my HC down to 5 to enter it this year but will probably still not be low enough as I think they take the lowest entrants?

So its still on then , hope we get a change in the weather .............
