Mr Sullivan is an honorary member but then he has a few these days. Nuneaton + Stratford on Avon added in 2017

Nothing else ever happened before or after 🤔

Nothing really that I can think of apart from having a former British Amateur champion that played in the Masters with Nick Faldo (defending champion) and Tiger Woods (US amateur champion). We also have the fantastic par 4 7th hole that nobody has worked out how to play properly.


Oh......and we are also the best course in Dorset

Have you moved to ferndown Gordon ?

He's been at Nuneaton since, we'll forever!

He's renting a house in Stratford currently and is best mates with Fred so Stratford is a no brainer for him.

Where/what is your club?

WGCGC

Where Nick Faldo started and was a member for a good few years, more recently (he's a member now) we have Tom Lewis, Walker Cup player and winner of the Portugese Open. Most importantly awesome bacon rolls at the halfway hut.

 

[HawkeyeMS]

We used to be an Open Qualifying venue, the course is designed by Harry Colt and we currently host one of the Premier Amateur events in the country. Not sure if that makes us famous?

 

[North Mimms]

Luke Donald was our Club Champion while still a Junior.
And we have "our own" railway station.

Cant beat that but my club was started in 1817 by the St Andrews Society of Golfers which then became the R&A , we still play for the Gold Medal which started in 1818.

That's a notch for sure.

This doesn't make us famous but I asked at the weekend why the medal comp was called the Bing Crosbie Medal and apparently, he used to play the course a lot and nearly bought it once. Hempsted Forest GC, noe Cranbrook GC in Kent.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Bobby Locke was a member back in the day - and story goes that our track was the first in the UK that a very young Gary Player played - with Bobby Locke - when Player first came to the UK. We certainly have photos of the young Player with Locke on the first tee.

And we are a James Braid course

 

[SugarPenguin]

Westwood and Foster's home course as juniors

 

[lukeysafc100]

My club Brancepeth Castle has a hole that was once voted the Hardest 9th Hole Par 3 in the World.

So of all the par 3s that are on the 9th hole - ours is the toughest!

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Forgot to mention - we also hold the world record for the faster round of golf played by a team (of unlimited numbers of golfers) - at least we did when we set the record back in June 2015 when the record did not previously exist. My part was to hit the 2nd shot into our par 4 10th (a hole I more often than not mess up the 2nd shot on). I hit it to 3ft and we holed the putt
