Trip down memory lane

[Deleted member 23270]

Playing somewhere today that I've not played for close on 20 years. Huge changes have taken place there, always enjoyed my games there. Fingers crossed ?

Enjoyed it but not as much as I thought I would. Think I hyped it up a bit too much in my head.

I like going back every few years to the course I grew up playing golf at. It's nice to see the changes they have made and how the course is maturing. I was disappointed to see a few sod wall bunkers have been replaced with lower maintenance versions and a signature target bunker was left to go wild.

Where woz it?

I've been back to a few old haunts in the past and like the OP it never seemed to live up to expectation. Maybe a sub-conscious case of rose tinted glasses.

I played a course yesterday that I first played nearly 40 years ago. I do that every week though, so no big deal.

I know there is a forum trip there later this year and it will be a big success. The problem yesterday was the winter set up, tees were a long way forward which spoiled the perspective of a lot of holes. But it's winter golf and it is what it is. Greens were very good for the time of year and I expect they will be excellent come the summer.

Must be a winter thing. I played there in august after 10 years away and it was brilliant.

Indeed, all the times I've played there in summer I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
