Smithers Jones

It may not be as much as that to be honest, but it's a completely different hole now.

Yes, 17th has been shortened by about 100 yds , new green, and is now a par 4. Other than a few bunkers being filled in and turfed offer, that's it.

First medal for me today (Routenburn). Very wet and boggy in places but the greens were decent. Drainage is usually excellent but the course just hasn't had time to breathe before the next downpour arrives.

I get all of that, there is just something about him I don't take to (don't know what it is). I was happy for him when he won it.

I would love to master the art of slapping it into the trees, only to end up on the fairway.

Tremendous

ooft, that is indeed a belter

I play at a council run course (with a club membership) and last year almost all of our bunkers were filled in and re-turfed. In fairness some of them were always GUR but the cost to sand and maintain was becoming too costly.

I have not celebrated a goal like that in a long time. The mix of everyone in disbelief and sheer joy as to what happened was magic.

One of the most miserable days ever

His last couple of performances have been excellent. I think he got injured winning a very good tackle and the boy landed on him. Hopefully nothing too serious.
