You mean what we're seeing here is the scene of the (in)famous HNSP tutorials?

Nah…I got such as HNSP firmly pointed out to me early 70s by older guys (well I was only 12/13 yr old so everyone was older) who played Deaconsbank Muni, on Glasgow southsideYou mean what we're seeing here is the scene of the (in)famous HNSP tutorials?
Was nice and simple back then, still looks nice…

Had never heard of that one, just googled it. Looks nice
Reading the history I see it opened 25th Aug 1922 & the blurb says "construction of the golf course was delayed due to the First World War 20 July 1914 to 11 November 1918"
It goes on to say... “a 12yr old SILH was in the 3rd group out on opening day but was hauled off for intensive HNSP training after 2 holes due to the unfathomable position the youngster adopted on the tee box”
History in the making eh

Some attended one of the early forum meets there. I may get a price for next season and arrange another one as it has definitely matured and we are in the process of re-doing and improving some of the bunkering

A Dr Alister MacKenzie course, legend has it that the 12th at Augusta was modelled on our 12th hole (Par 3 to an elongated green over water)

Its rough and ready, its cheap and there's loads of issues we all love to moan about as members - but its home.

I believe that legend is repeated by quite a number of Mackenzie courses
. One of them is correct of course, or maybe a few are as he built and refined courses along the way

They do say something similar at Worcester Golf and Country Club....
I will say though - Augusta was his last course, so of course he will look back at other holes he loved post-design and reuse ideas.

Not a member, but my nearest course where I play the odd game. Mojacar Marina GC. At €345 a month for a very average course, not untypical locally, I play the odd society game.
The view from the 4th tee. A well struck tee shot could leave you an 8 iron into the green but it’s safer played with a 6 iron off the tee, hybrid to the 2nd corner then a wedge onto the green and 2 putts for a par.

The funny thing is the home page picture is of our 9 hole course although we do have full flyover shots of each hole on the 18 hole course.

Dalmahoy (see my signature). James Braid again.
Two courses and well designed, both offer different challenges. Usually decent condition but could be so much better with more maintenance
