Tell me why I don't like Mondays? Because I missed qualifying for the Senior Open Championship this Monday gone. In Wales at Ashburnham golf course, a traditional links layout, literally straight out and straight back and with a gusty cross wind making things a little awkward at times. The greens were the best I've played on all year (no bias being Welsh either). 3 more than the magic number meant I was back over the Severn crossing far too soon.
I may now sound like a Welsh tourist advert, but I'd forgotten how good the course was. With Machynys, a Nicklaus design, just 10 minutes away and Tenby 30 minutes the other way, not to mention Swansea`s fine courses around the Swansea bay, it's a great venue for a golf tour (weather permitting, like anywhere). Club Captain, Andy Lee has his Captain’s Day start sheet up for entries. Remember to sign up as it will fill up very quickly as my Pro’s Day has. Date for the event is August 27th, prizes, food and great entertainment all for just £5.00.
Andy is supporting the Ladies, Vets, Day members and Cadets throughout the week as well, so please enter these events if you can. |
