Its not all bad!!

Many of you might think that we are just putting in bunkers and not making the course any easier. Just to put your mind at rest, you can see from the picture below the changes to the golf course are more about playability than difficulty!

A greenside bunker is to be added to the 2nd green, to improve the look and challenge of the hole. It will make you think about what side of the fairway to play to, which was never much of a consideration before. Now, left if definitely best and to help that we have made the fairway wider on the left in front of the bunker and quite considerably (although you cant see it well in the photo) by the left hand side of the green. The extension have been highlighted on the picture, although my skills with paintshop need some work.  Those who have hit good second or third shots to the left of the green have a nice tight lie with no hazards in the way. However if you hit a poorly directed shot to the right side of the fairway, you will have to navigate the bunker.

Architecture as it should be, making you think about where to place the ball to give you the best chance of making par or better.

Enjoy!! Daniel
