Tony, I know little about Williamson, other than that he seems to have designed or at least had some influence over much Nottinghamshire golf. It is a county I occasionally have to pass through by car and its towns (such as Mansfield) are largely ghastly. I can't wait to leave the county, which is a shame because Notts is a great course, Sherwood Forest and Coxmoor well worth a visit, and Worksop is well-reputed. For that matter Lindrick is in part a Nottinghamshire course, although it is staunchly Yorkist as far as county allegiance goes. I remember the cricket commentator Brian Johnston enthusiasing over Radcliffe-on-Trent, which he played on his day off - remember when Test Matches started on a Thursday and finished on a Tuesday with Sunday taken as a rest day? One of the recent Australian test cricketers drove the 11th green at Notts on a day off from a Headingley Test - 360 yards STEEPLY UPHILL! The story goes that they played there the day before a Headingley Test and asked if the club would accept visitors on Sundays. The reply came in the form of a question, 'Aren't you playing a Test Match on that day. Surely it's due to finish on Monday.' 'We'll have finished the English off long before that,' was the Australian reply. Sure enough, they were free, having demolished England soundly.
