An Old Scottish saying.
Today it was howling. The winds were as least as strong as during the Open at Birkdale just a couple weeks ago. And with those conditions on this course, it would be a whole bunch of fun.
Most courses with their ever narrowing fairways would have the golfers spending most of their time extracting themselves from the rough and trees. Not here. The fairways are wide, huge by modern standards... the bunkers eat into or are within the fairways. You'll have room maneuver, but you'll be forced to make tactical choices.
The ground is firm and dry so you can keep the ball low for the most part, and attack the hole by running the ball onto the green. Ours is not a "Links course", but we have the heart and soul of links golf here:
- Dry
- Wide
- Rolling
- Allows the bounced in approach
- Hazards that play larger than their size due to the slope of the ground and the firm conditions.
Bring it on!
