I'm planning a trip to Wales next summer. I played and loved Porth Cawl and Pennard several years ago so I not planning to play those again. At this point, my plan is Tenby, Borth & Ynyslas, Aberdovy, Welshpool, Royal St. David's, Nefyn, Convy. I may have to eliminate one due to time restrictions. In your opinion, which is the weakest? Many thanks. Love your videos.

Not played conwy but it’s a bit more out of the way. I’d add cardigan in and reduce travel time in some way as royal st David’s, Aberdovey, Borth, Welshpool and Tenby all in reasonable proximity if you add cardigan on the way from Aberdovey to Tenby (vice versa)

A crying shame. I only play golf fleetingly but know a whole contingent of London based golfers who no longer play there due to the ‘restoration’. One of them, a keen golf historian, pointed to the fact that Abercrombie was acutely aware that courses have to develop over time to reflect current thinking. In fact, Abercrombie often commented that his designs should, in fact, be rendered a hair redundant (and encouraged the same) with the passage of time. The trees were the charm here. Notwithstanding, this golf society looks fantastic.

The clubs are doing a Hagen Hoof day for visitors in 2025 a unique opportunity to play three Open venues in one day. The 17th gets a bad wrap as there is a large dune in the centre of the landing zone. My caddie tip - if you don’t want to risk a penal bounce, treat it as a hazard and play short or try and carry the dune.

Played with a member during Open week and he had a great philosophy for a lifetime of golf at Gullane: “When you are a child you start on No. 3 and then graduate to 2 and finally onto No. 1.” “Then as you get older and No. 1 is too much, you go back to No. 2 and eventually back to No. 3.”

This course is used as a qualifying venue for the Open Championship. Today, 19th July 2024, the leader of the Open Championship, qualified for the competition by winning on West Lancs. Dan Brown is the clubhouse leader after 18 holes. West Lancs, is still shaping the game, even after all these years.
