Lindrick - One of Yorkshire and England's best
Tradition meets all parts of championship golf is a good way to describe this proud but reserved club. Just a few miles from the M1, the club and its course straddles the road from Sheffield to Worksop and its 'roll of honour' extends from the Dunlop Masters and the Ryder Cup, through to the very best in Amateur competition, and has included Open Championship Pre-Qualifying (the latter list of courses deserve their own record, a number of true gems where players wanting to play in the greatest Championship of them all find the first hurdle for qualifying too much to handle).
Discovering your game
No matter what your handicap or your golfing ambitions, there is time and a place where you find out about your golf game, a round which you always remember, one that can inspire or it can be that day when every part of your swing and attitude is exposed - and ruined - either way though you still come back for more. The more modern Championship golf course has tried to been designed and then marketed to do just this. The Classics no longer hold firm on the monacer of being the true tests of golf as it stands in 2004.

Costa Del Sol - THE RESORTS & GOLF
Marbella has lots of different sections - quieter parts, luxury hotels, shopping. The size and popularity of the beaches does vary as does how close they are to the coast roads. The most popular part of the town is Puerto Banus. It is rare to find one of the biggest department stores barely a par four from the beach but this happens in Puerto Banus because El Corte Ingles is on the north of a plaza, on either side are banks of luxury flats and on the south, the rather naff charms of the harbour, lined by restaurants and boutiques.
