That's nice news. I have played the marquess, and the duchess, but not the dukes, so that'll be another new course on my list. Bonza.
Teeing off times and groups for Woburn Thursday 29th March.......

Duchess is much too tight to be a proper golf course. Even some of the par 3's are doglegs.

What you trying to say
I take it you are still annoyed about that par 4 at Camberely with the lake well within range. If it was any consolation I only avoided it because I mis-hit the drive. By that stage I was too damned knackered, hot and tired to really go into too much detail so didn't pull it out on that hole. If its any consolation I was much better at using them at St Pierre and FoA and even shared mine with Billy at FoA

Luckily I took the route way out to the right in the cabbage near the clubhouse, but I still couldn't see the lake for my second. I duffer that, so dodged a bullet anyway
We ave a course planner for the Marquess, anyway (address on the way Amanda!). I'll try and keep all informed.

ouch
played Manor of Groves yesterday Rick, totally loved the course, had to really plot our way round some of the holes. Unfortunately I had 5 blobs and 25 points

As I say, I've played both the Duchess and the Dukes courses, albeit some time ago now. Both are cracking courses but all I remember of the Duchess course was the rat a tat tat sound of golf balls hitting pine trees all afternoon! I think the best score in during that round was about 32 points and that was from the bandit who won the event! Really looking forward to the day, especially playing the Marquess course. I've heard great things about it. The one big thing I am really happy with is not having to change for lunch. Last time we went, we had the famous Woburn carvery but had to change into jacket and tie between rounds. It was much too rushed so I am glad that the club have decided to relax their dress code. All we have to hope for now is decent weather. Fingers crossed we get one of those lovely March days with no wind, no rain, and a little bit of sunshine. Yeah right!

Looking at the video, it reminds me a bit of Beau Desert but with a lot more trees and narrower. Should be fun then!
Yea, that par 3 3rd is shorter than I first thought at 120 yards, I might have a chance at getting it somewhere near the green...maybe.

If you can't hit that green with them beauties in yer bag then I think you should replace them with a bag of fazers

My mate has the same shaft in his MP 59's and I instantly fell in love.
