Wow, now you’ve started something

I walked it in April, beautiful course and totally sand based. It definitely is inland links.
The vale of Pickering was once a North Sea inlet, which gives it the sandy soil as the member described

He said Ganton was under the sea in the Jurassic age !
Might be some dinosaur bones under there.

Every golf club has its dinosaurs doesn’t it

Glacial lake apparently. There’ll definitely be some old fossils around the clubhouse…

Yeah, i understand why people take a shot at him but he’s a good guy at heart.

Most are.

Maritime heathland I always described Ganton as, which is how I heard it described when I visited

I heard the same description at Aldeburgh - which to my eye is a mini-Ganton - by the very genial pro there

So for me, it’s a maritime heathland

Mine is a links course. It's linked to a council estate.

What does Maritime have to do with a golf course?
Genuine question, not trying to be facetious.

Much like links golf, you either love it or hate it.

One for the dyslexics among us.

Cob.

A cob has a crusty top here anyway.

Yeah I know

If your mum asks for a tea cake anywhere outside of Barnsley she'll be getting that with sultanas in. Does she have that discussion each time? I've met people from Barnsley before, I'm sure she will be standing her ground whatever
