Ben,


if it is the one I am thinking about off the tee it was more of a wind blow than defined bunker. It will be a big improvement on the scrub though.

I played Ganton in an open competition yesterday.  My first visit in a decade.


Since I was last there a lot (and I mean a LOT) of gorse has gone.  It's a huge improvement.  In a fourball in which I was the high handicapper we lost a couple of balls but to genuinely atrocious shots, not tightness.  In fact, bar a couple of spots (the drives on 9 and 16 are tight) I think the course played and felt reasonably wide (albeit that the bunkering remains as tough as ever).


After a wet winter of muddy lies at home the condition of the course was extraordinary, firm, fast greens, run on fairways.  The "inland links" tag has never felt truer.

Nice to hear. Ganton is a very special place. I cannot believe it has been nearly a decade since my visit.
