Three courses played a major role in my becoming a golfer. Two municipals (Wexham Park and Rickmansworth) and a 9 holer (Chorleywood) that was the first private club I belonged to. I haven't been back to any of them for at least 14 years. I don't miss Wexham at all. I can only remember a hole or two and what I remember was flat and boring. Chorleywood I remember fondly, tight, short and tree lined. Tiny greens and no sand, rather each green protected by hollows and swales. The best of the three, though, I think, from an architectural point of view, was probably Rickmansworth. It was short (par 63 with no par 5s, only one hole over 400 yards and a number of very short par 4s and a couple of very short par 3s) but, looking back, a fair few interesting holes. I can certainly still remember each hole. It used to be Moor Park's ladies course and, I have a vague feeling, may have had at least some input from Colt. It was never in great condition but one of these days, perhaps even this summer now I'm spending more time in London, I'll go back.
