Preview:
2019's Tour starts with a visit to Worcester Golf and Country Club.
Designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie in 1927 (seven years before he designed Augusta National), this parkland course 'features long narrow greens' and failure to hit them 'will definitely test the short game abilities.'
A par 70 weighing in at 6,019 yards off the yellow tees, four of the nine hardest holes come in the first five we play so we're going to need to be on our game.
Here's the course overview if you want a look. Flicking through it quickly it seems like there are plenty of bunkers just waiting to catch the errant shots.
What happened:
The rain eased enough for us to give it a go. Then started raining harder when we are out there. This was an excellent course and largely stood up to the weather apart from around the turn where there were a couple of very soggy greens. The par 3 'drop-hole' was particularly affected which was a bit of a shame.
It would be good to go back when it's not belting down to see if how much scores can be improved by. Ben F would be doing well to improve on a great 35 pointer though which gave the rest of the field something to think about on the drive to Birmingham.
Best scores:
35 points - Ben F (off 15)
30 points - Ben W (off 7)
29 points - Paul (off 36)
