There is a class of golf hole that deserves a special mention - holes that are par 5s off the white tees but 4s off the yellows. In a bizarre manner this makes them seem far harder off the yellows. This is a trick of the mind but I am menatlly weak, particularly on a golf course.
Now such a hole is the 5th at Handsworth. Estimable but I choose instead the 10th at Holyhead. 433 yards from the forward tees.
You drive over a brow and then, Heaven be praised, there is a bell to be rung before playing down to a distant green with gorse beckoning on all sides.
Did I mention that I won the Dunmore Shield this year?
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Yesterday was beer and lunch with the Dunmore crew of ViperJoihn, Big Willy, and the Boy Bacon. And today the tree is going up.
