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.
Just been on a trip including Kennemer, Haagsche and staying in Utrecht. Thanks for the fantastic tips and inspiring images that contributed to planning and the trips success! The total trip also included Bernardus (Netherlands), Great Northern (Denmark), Falkenstein and Budersand (both Germany). All great courses. Keep up the good job!
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.
Just won our golf event on the Blue to qualify for 2025 finals day. Can’t tell you how beautiful this course is and the members I have met have been absolute gems. Love this place! ❤
I was a member here about 30 years ago when it was overgrown and controlled by an old lady called Moira Fabes. I have to say the the restoration is looking incredible. It was long, long overdue. Congratulations to all concerned.
@@CookieJarGolf I had a listen and did really enjoy it. Ryan is very impressive. When I was a member the club felt frozen in time. It was eccentric and unique and some people loved it that way but a lot of people regretted the neglect of the course. Ryan is a real breath of fresh air.
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.”
Really fancy a trip down to wales, looks amazing. Just played Dumbarnie yesterday, best overall experience of hospitality I’ve had in years and a stunning track too,if you haven’t played already then you need to get it booked.
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.
When are you guys going to complete to Tom Morris trail? Just ticked off machrihanish and it’s a stunning course in a brilliant part of the world. Definitely straight in to my top 5
Love Borth, played it last week and it was in much better condition than last year. Not sure if the beach is OB, think it's a penalty area so you could play from there
Pennard’s great! I played it when it was baked out - no one could hold the fairway on 17. Everything ended up down the slope. Tbh, 17 would be great if it was widened in the landing zone.
Played it twice. Been blessed with glorious sunshine both times. An absolutely fantatsic place where you can still smile & enjoy being beaten up by a couple of holes. To say take an easy par on 17 left me in disbelief. There is no such thing. Agree about the club, lovely friendly people there.
