Thanks Guys - a labour of love - believe me - and well worth it if you ever get the opportunity.
It was a tremendous learning curve and my education in some of the many elements of GCA I will be forever grateful for and an excellent bonus.

Strategies for each hole, after setting myself the goal of a tee shot for every club from sand iron through to 3 iron (plus extra depending on the breeze)
Below is a "routing layout" I designed, mixing up the holes for a good match!
road black 106 – “high pitch” – allowing to feedback off LHS fringe.
pond white 132 – “high fade” over bunker, green slopes to the LEFT, fade in to green
forest gold 149 – “low straight runner” – tricky shot and better when turf is low and hard
forest white 161 – “ running fade” or fly it there with spin
ponds gold 117 – “Full shot – max spin” hit to centre ridge, will feed back to hole
road white 93 – “ Safety Draw or fading wedge”
road gold 80 – “ low? High? Fade? Draw? Punch? ¾?”
ponds black 143 – “ Hit a draw or fade, high into the wind is good”
forest black 177 – “Hit a draw to stop”
