Lanhydrock was the Saturday morning course in 2003 but the round was hit by the worst weather to strike the tour. It was decided to have one round on the Saturday this year so we could get back to the Inn on the Green to watch the (dreary) FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Southampton.
My memory’s not the best but what I do remember is this being a very pretty course, a lot of flowers about. The hole that sticks in my mind is a par three, the sixth I think. Everyone loves an elevated tee, bit of water in front, two-tiered green - lovely! I also remember Mark taking a ridiculously short club for the hole.
I don’t remember too many more holes because a) I couldn’t see out of my rain-spattered glasses and b) I walked off after nine holes completely saturated. I wasn’t the only one, Brian, Matthew and Stuart joined me in the clubhouse before they completed 18.
The weather did improve late on for the hardy souls who stayed out meaning that the best Lanhydrock scores on the Tour are:
32 points - Ben W (off 10)
28 points - Simon (off 14)
26 points - Kevin (off 14)
26 points - Mark (off 12)
