Back in my days as a minor corporate something I was entertained at Bowood Golf and Country Club annually - it had to do with where we deposited client monies. This was arguably the best freebie of the year.
The course wends its way around Capability Brown grounds and is modern in its idiom - off the back pegs it stretches to almost seven and a half thousand yards. The Dave Thomas design has hosted the Europro Tour. Lengthy modern courses aren't usually my thing but this is done with taste and skill. To start our imaginary twenty-four hole round, I choose the 2nd, a mere bagatelle at 340 yards off the yellows.
As this list progresses you will learn that I favour raised tees - they give a feeling of possibility no matter how daunting the set-up. This one starts high up and dives down before turning sharply right. Driver is usually too much club, instead you carry to the corner - cutting the corner is not on, too many trees.
No raised tee tomorrow. Things get harder.
