Love the new posts…i have searched for redan images before (in sebastopol) with no luck, but this was a fun dive into war maps, and I think I know now where the Redan was in the modern-day (Ukrainian!) town.  Pretty damn cool.

Personally, I think it would be nice to cut a 25 yard approach fairway on the far side of the wall on the 13th but hey... small stuff...

Hope to be back next year for the first time since 2008...

I have long thought the green should be extended well forward.

Unfortunately that section in front of the green is getting narrower by the winter with coastal erosion.


Like many courses on the east coast, worrying times.


On a lighter note, the course is playing very nicely.  The best winter golf conditions that I've seen at NB for years, with lots of the bunkers being tidied up too.

Simon,
We played NB a couple of months ago with Ian G. The erosion of the big dune at the 10th tee was quite, ehm, alarming! How is it?
Cheers,
M.
PS Time to update your 2011(!) strap line perhaps?

Hi Marty,


The dune by the 10th tee is pretty meaty.


It's all of great concern, but the attention is focused further east.


Re 2011, I'd not even noticed that....but I can confirm I've seen a few courses since!


Thanks,


Simon

Yes, sadly, I have noticed serious erosion on 13. It’s alarming on the 14th as well.

Further away down the coast, my beloved Alnmouth Village has a serious problem with the 5th green. It is one harsh storm from being lost.
