THE PLEASURE OF PAINSWICK
The headline is not a statement for masochistic delight, though at times in the round, the thought could be excused. There must me a very strong attraction, when an auctioneer from Shropshire, a book collector and an engineer from Somerset, and a journalist from Hampshire drive to meet in Gloucestershire. The reward was a delightful day playing the course at Painswick.
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.
