MACHYNYS PENINSULA GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB REVIEW
The call of the links course is always easy to answer, particularly when located in South Wales, home to some of the finest links courses in the world, and with a recent addition to add to the famous catalogue. It was to be an interesting visit, to see how Machynys Peninsula would compare with the existing masterspieces at Porthcawl, Pyle & Kenfig, Ashburnam and Tenby.
PYLE & KENFIG
For some considerable time, P&K as it affectionately known in the region, has been on my 'must play' list. As a lover of the challenge of links golf that is a given, add the bonus that the course was designed by the legendary Harry S Colt, and the justification is complete. The course lies on a very special piece of land in South Wales that is home to some of the best courses in the land. This was how golf was born, on links land before the game inevitably spread into the rest of the countryside.
DOUBLE HONOUR FOR ASHBURNHAM
Ashburnham Golf Club has been given double reason to celebrate after being chosen to host two of the most prestigious amateur tournaments in Wales. The Carmarthenshire course has beaten off competition from a strong list of contenders to be selected by the Golf Union of Wales (GUW) as a future venue for the Welsh Open Strokeplay Championship - the union's flagship event - and the Home Internationals.
The 'missing' Golf Course.
There is a course that has gone missing. Its not been swallowed by a housing estate, its in sensibly rude financial health, the sea hasn?t washed away its fairways, nor has its grass succumbed to a fungus which will blight the UK in the coming years.
