Golf
My delight was short- lived after the comment “at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask!”. Of course, I then purposely missed the birdie putt merely to avoid the inevitable abuse
The ‘Crater of Doom’ - a three putt green
infinite joy, six other balls of considerably superior quality. A moment of pure magic indeed!
I managed to redeem myself at the 182
yard par 3 17th, where I hit a shot against the wind to three foot from the pin on the left-hand side, helped yet again by the receptiveness of another superbly prepared green. My delight was short-lived after the comment from Alun of “at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask!”. Of course, I then purposely missed the birdie putt merely to avoid the inevitable abuse (honest). If you are in the twilight of your golfing
career and the bones ache a little more than they used to, then Ludlow is certainly the course for you! It is flat with easy walking and, not to forget, buggies and trolleys are used throughout the year; a definite bonus for a large number of golfers. We must not forget that a golf club has
many important aspects besides the course itself. All other ingredients in the mix have a role to play.
Russell Price and Dan in the Pro Shop
understand clearly what is required from them. They are welcoming, enthusiastic to help and attempt to ensure that every golfer’s needs are met, wherever possible.
They are obviously very proud of their golf club and rightly so.
The clubhouse is in the modern style and
has excellent facilities, including a function room. The bar was a delight for me personally as I am a fully paid up member of C.A.M.R.A. and love to sample different types of real ale. I can state that the pint of Ludlow Gold from the local brewery is simply the best pint I’ve had at any golf club I’ve visited ... praise indeed! The standard of food and service is
excellent with a good value menu available. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every meal I’ve sampled over the last five visits. Last, but not least, it has to be mentioned
that the quality of the work of the greenkeepers is truly superb ... the evidence surrounds you.
A truly challenging round of golf with some good, but dubious friends with the accompanying levels of laughter and very ‘tongue in cheek’ abuse has to be a very healthy way to enjoy yourself. We certainly were able to wind our weary way back home to our loved ones feeling that we’d had a marvellous day out! Ludlow Golf Club really is a quality “Step Back In Time”.
