| FINAL
PIECE OF BUNKER JIGSAW |
It
was windy and rainy this morning (Saturday) and with Billy
McKeag being made of sugar I didn’t get to play any
golf. Just had coffee and sandwiches in the lounge with
the fourball in front who didn’t go out either. But,
I managed to persuade Billy to carry my umbrella so we could
show you how the new work to the 1st and 11th is shaping
up. You will have to bear in mind that this is a ‘hacker’
that is trying to explain what is going on and a golfer
who will be well acquainted with the new bunkers soon enough!

Howard designed a plan to redevelop the bunkers on all 18
holes as well as designing a 9 hole short course and practice
academy. Click
