Golf
“
On occasions, I have witnessed players hitting low shots under the tree; the difference between them and me is that their efforts were probably intentional!
2nd fairway from the tee
and me is that their efforts were probably intentional! Above average golfers have been seen to take just a 5 iron down to the middle of the flat area, and a 6 iron straight onto the green ... easy game for some, isn’t it? The hole is, after all, designated a stroke
index 5, obviously for good reason. So, as we are aware the tree is there, we must consider it to be an integral part of the course, consider it a challenge, come up with a manageable strategy, stop whingeing and “get on with it!”
Some golfers dread any holes that involve
water of any description. The only hole on the course with a water hazard is the 3rd, which has a pond thirty yards long and about ten yards wide to the right hand side of the fairway. The unfortunate added problem is that the fairway itself has a slope running left to right, which encourages shots played down the right of middle to run even further right and inevitably into the pond itself! The water looks so dark and mysterious; if you stare at it for a while you can imagine a
beautiful water-nymph slowly emerging from the water without causing a single ripple. She is wearing a diaphanous garment whilst wielding what appears to be an immaculate golden sword and is asking you in old English ... “your name doesn’t happen to be Arthur, does it?” That reminds me that I must be due for my next appointment with my psychological therapist! I am not going to describe the course hole by hole. I have merely used the first three holes to illustrate what the golfer can expect
