First, I am referring to the clubs information and yes on checking the plan, I agree the Tunnel Hole Green covers OTM’s 3rd & 6th Greens.
Following the course plan (OTM’s in white)
1st Green is The Back of the Cardinal Hole, Present 16th Green
2nd Green is The Alps Hole, Present 17th Green
3rd Green is The Tunnel Hole, Present 2nd Green
4th Green is The Wall Hole, Present 3rd Green
5th Green is The Sea Hedrig Hole, Present 13th
6th Green is The Tunnel Hole, Present 2nd Green
10th Green is The Lunch House Hole, Present 15th Green
The Prestwick Club is a great club, it has its traditions and lets not forget that it was a club predominately for Gentlemen. We here still value our traditions as part of the story of our past lives. I have no problem how a club runs its business, just be thankful that they are happy (for whatever reason) to open their doors to Visitors. Old Tom was not regarded as a gentleman in the Victorian Age nor was Charlie Hunter, etc hence why they opened their own club, the St Nicholas Club, yet played on OTM course at Prestwick until they moved to their own ground after Old Tom returned to St Andrews. The St Nicholas course was designed by Charlie and should you have time it should be played to get a balance with Prestwick.
Adrian, we agree, nearly a first. Have you been to Prestwick & St Nicholas, IMHO it is certainly worth the bother, if you love golf and its rich history, well that’s MHO for what its worth.
