'If you could only play one course for the rest of your life, which would it be?' This hoary old question is a bar room favourite but I have my answer ready and waiting. It would be Sutton Coldfield. I had the privilege of being a member there but eventually resigned because I quite simply was not playing enough golf.
It is another Mackenzie course, running through the common land of Sutton Park. It has that springy heathland turf that invites a good strike. On the front nine there is the unusual feature of three consecutive par 5s and I choose the middle of these, the 6th, for today's entry. It curves its way up towards the Jamboree Stone car park so there is often the added piquancy of a few spectators/dog walkers to make the golfer feel self-conscious. 520 yards of fun.
