Thanks to @oxfordgolfcons and GCA for documenting my journey. It’s been a hell of ride so far, There were many courses not mentioned in the article, I love them all, they all have a little piece of my life attached. Here’s to the next 30 years….l’ll be almost 90!

I love your enthusiasm Danny. It was a fun course to create and even more fun to play. I hope to get back there sometime soon!

@ukgolfguy @DavidMcLayKidd @conorWalsh11 Played this on Monday and it is utterly phenomenal, gone straight into the top 5 I have ever played. It’s better than Cal Club, Pacific Dunes, Kingsbarns etc.

Phenomenal

Got my copy of @coynewriter latest book “A COURSE CALLED HOME”. I’ve read all the previous books and loved them. My favorite golf books, they tell the story of what golf is really about, relationships! Now how can I get it signed…..
