Advent 11

Little Aston Golf Club seems to me to have long cultivated a rather forbidding attitude to visitors. Certainly it is the most exclusive club in the West Midlands and the members can be forgiven for wanting to preserve that atmosphere. And undeniably it has the course to back-up the conceit. It is a stunning parkland test with greens that are the best on which I have ever putted.


The 10th is a formidable hole. 440 yards of tight, tree-lined fairway meandering slightly uphill in a double dog-leg. I am fortunate to have played the course quite often and I'm pretty sure I've never parred this hole. I can hit the ball right to left and I can hit the ball left to right, but not on demand.
