I finally managed to get out onto the golf course today.
Three of us played the Priors course and I just could not understand the position of some of the holes.
For those of you who know this course I'll take the third green as an example.
The green must be forty yards wide and twenty yards deep on the right hand side.
They had positioned the flat on the right hand side of the green, about ten yards from the right edge of the green, and about twelve yards from the front of the green.
I played a good pitch wedge onto the green and walked up the slope to find my ball on the green, but it was sitting on snow!
The ground staff had obviously been clearing the snow from the green and had managed to get most of the green cleared, but for whatever reason they hadn't finished the job.
So the hole was about two yards from the snow with plenty of clear green, so why didn't they move the hole into the middle of the cleared patch?
Now I don't know if it's not good for the green to put a new hole in when the ground is hard and cold.
The same thing happened on the 18th green, it was 105 yards to the flag so I hit a steady pitching wedge.
We could see from the tee that the flag was on the right hand side of the green, right where the only snow on the green was!
Does this kind of thing happen at your golf club?
