Sandwich vs. Deal
Bill_McBride:
A question for Chappers and others who are familiar with both RSG and RCP: why is there a sea wall at Deal and not at Sandwich?
Adam Lawrence:
Sandwich never gets as close to the water as Deal does; if you consider the way that the road to Princes, which separates RSG from the beach, is built up quite a bit, there is a fair degree of sea defence between the course and the water.

Ah, forgot about that road to Princes. Thanks, Adam.
Which also prompts acquestion.....what's the toll on that private road from Deal to RSG this week, £20?? ;D
Mark Chaplin:
Bill - the Sandwich Bay Estate are paid a large sum by the R&A to use their 3/4 mile of road, needless to say RCP charges nothing for people to use 2 miles of our private road.
Talking of flood risk Princes and RStG are in danger of flooding from the river so the sea will come around the back of them. Deal is more in danger of direct sea incursion.

Just watching Ricky Fowler, he clearly understands links golf and must be a potential future champion.

Our man on the scene... the ubiquitous Mr. Chaplin is always in the thick of the action!
