@billsmafiagolf@sd_cooper@LouStagner Where is this stat from? Is it the golf course or the golf facility as a whole? This is a truly fantastic stat if the course area specifically!
For 9 years at RCP I kept a Blog for members information, when joining Royal Liverpool I wanted to step it up. @ShorehillGolf have a wonderful portal where entries can be shown on an up to date drone map. Hover the cursor and see what we have been up to! https://t.co/cAjcdv1zXX
Informing and educating golfers on course projects is hard- we're building interactive maps for facilities to showcase past, present and planned works across the course to improve golfer understanding and appreciation for the work of the maintenance team https://t.co/4hhLxcwnJY
@EDI__ADI@EIGCA@USGAGrnSection@lipouts@BIGGALtd@RandA The safest of all is probably a tee by the boundary with something blocking shots hit into the near OB. Nobody likes a net but if it saves the club getting sued and/or somebody getting hurt that is the best option!
@EDI__ADI@EIGCA@USGAGrnSection@lipouts@BIGGALtd@RandA I really don't like general rules in golf at all...But i'll try my hardest. How far away from the boundary can you move the tee? If its <30yds then going close to the boundary is *probably* better. If you can create real distance from the boundary that will change
@EDI__ADI@EIGCA@USGAGrnSection@lipouts@BIGGALtd@RandA (2/2) As balls only have a few yards to travel before being OB, so houses could be hit at speed in the case of a shank, for example. The biggest factor is probably; how far away is "well away"?
@EDI__ADI@EIGCA@USGAGrnSection@lipouts@BIGGALtd@RandA There's no catch-all rule as they change depending on specifics. My working hypothesis is that aim-points and dispersion centres tend to be furthest from the boundary in 1. (but site specific variables change this). It can also be more dangerous though (1/2)
St Patrick's is wonderful... for me, a telling sign of its quality is the lack of agreement on the best hole- it is relentlessly engaging yet each hole has a unique appeal. It is consistent in style whilst negotiating wildly diverse terrain & posing various strategic challenges
“St Patrick's is close to being the best piece of golfing land I have ever seen,” says editor Adam Lawrence on Tom Doak’s new design at @Rosapenna1893 https://t.co/TaoOph4Qo6
@NCG_com@NCGTop100s@GOLF_Empire Halifax GC/Ogden. Surely a contender for best value course in the UK- such a fun and varied course for such a low green fee!
