Fear not you Kent coast fans, the towers remain from an old coal powered station

Quite right - these are just old cooling stacks from the days when there was coal mining in Kent. The site is also now used for joining the wind farm they are constructing to our grid (that will change the sea views somewhat).

no danger of meltdown other than on the scorecard!

Well - unless Dungeness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeness_nuclear_power_station) or any of the French ones go pop.

Having read that comment of Jamie's and news that Trump opposed a wind farm off his new course in Aberdeen, I must say I wonder why folks oppose wind farms on aesthetic grounds. I think they're fantastic to look at.

Wow... I was aware of plans to develop a course next to the pyramids (probably a crime...?), but that there has already been a golf course for more than 100 years was unknown to me. Thanks for the pointer!

i remember the hains point muni in d.c. having a hole that you line your tee shot up on the washington monument.  was it the 18th?  questionable course, but a patriotic tee shot!

The church at St Enodoc:


and the church at Burnham & Berrow 12th hole, sorry I didnt get a decent pic, didn't think I'd ever need one

Just a few metres seperate the Gateway Bridge from the 14th tee at Royal Queensland, Brisbane....

Its not on the course, but Harlech Castle looming over the course has to be up there for one of the best off course objects. 


Old Joe on the edge of Edgbaston is very cool.


In fact, the clubhouse at Edgbaston is VERY cool.


Though already mentioned, Burnham's church and Pennard's castle are very fine.  Bill, an excavation done several years ago found evidence of a small village around Pennard Castle.
