Alex Findlay. Tavistock

Played this gem yesterday. Is he known for squared off greens??  I don't recall seeing these around.

Spent 45 minutes rating their par five 5th hole. So many options and hazards to deal with was an adventure. Course places a emphases on quality tee shots and accurate  iron play. Some very highly contoured greens presented a real challenge while playing.

Unusual par four, on the front  forget the number,  where a sign on the tee indicates which green to play too. Both at a 45 degree angle from the fairway. On the tee you cannot see either green, yardage very similar to either green.

Loved the course and the hotdogs at the turn, a very nice experience.

So did Findlay do the greens like this or was it a later update??
We have a pool and a pond, the pond would be good for you.

Frank James built the greens at Tavistock, just like he did at LuLu.

Think any greens at LuLu look the same (hint: No 3!)?

:-)

P.S.  Now I know why you didn't play Cricket yesterday as you had a "round" at T'stock.   ;)

Guilty as charged Joe. We have Tavistock and Mannys this year. I really hated to miss a round at PCC. Haven't been there in years.  The things we do for the local golf  associations.

Ed,

The squared off front of greens at Tavistock are part of the original design. They were quite evident on the old aerials.  We restored them back during our restoration project 6 yrs ago.
