This course apparently makes Askernish look like Augusta in terms of naturalness, but having to catch a plane to get from the 9th green to the 10th tee......... ??? :o

If this were April 1st, I'd be ruing the fact that the press jokes are getting too easy to spot...

So I notice in the article that they only have one flight back per week. Does that mean you play 9 holes and then are stuck on the island for another week? And wait, are the front nine and back nine really on different islands like that? Or are these like two different 9 hole courses that have come together for some reason? This is a crazy idea. Maybe the club should buy a couple of military surplus helicopters, 2 or 3 should do the trick.  ::)

Don't think anyone will complaining of the 5 or 6 hour round anymore. The time between holes must remind many of the time wasted riding a cart between holes.  Then it all depend how you play a game of golf, I like 36 holes per day when fit to play.
