Go back and play Pennard some more. It all makes sense save for the 2nd green
Although, I find it strange you can't figure out 16. 4 too is an oddish hole, but a wonderful 3 shotter. Its sooooo wide that people get spooked. There is tons of room left, but the second is dangerous being blind, with trouble long and coming in from a bad angle. Of course, one can always challenge the OOB on the tee. Plenty of options boys, just a lack of creativity on the part of golfers...I think they call that user error.

I got a real lesson in hickories during a Dr Mac Society match at Cavendish. The course isn't long, but jeepers it seemed hellish for these old boys bashing wood. Although, Cavendish was a tail end hickory course.

Kington: I was quite surprised when Tom said he wanted to play Kington. I offered to tag along, but I'm not sure Kington requires a guide
. In any case, I was quite surprised when Tom gave Kington a 7, but backed the rating with "If you don't want to get your golf shoes filthy, just stay on the M5 and forget about it, but if you enjoy seeing something different, you'll remember Kington long after you've forgotten some of the championship links..."
Now for a big boooooo

Best Bunkering - Lytham: How bloody hard is it to cover all the bases when a course has 200ish bunkers? New Zealand should have made this list. I think that there should have been space for Walton Heath Old as well.

+2 Doak: I am embarrassed that Doak got to Leckford before me, even after I told myself to get on my bike. Maybe 2015....
