2.  There should be a large proportion of good two- shot holes, two or three drive- and-pitch holes, and at least four one-shot holes

3.  There should be little walking between the greens and tees, and the course should be arranged so that in the first instance there is always a slight walk forwards from the green to the next tee ; then the holes are sufficiently elastic to be lengthened in the future if necessary

4.  The greens and fairways should be sufficiently undulating, but there should be no hill climbing

5.  Every hole should have a different character

6.  There should be a minimum of blindness for the approach shots

7.  The course should have beautiful surroundings, and all the artificial features should have so natural an appearance that a stranger is unable to distinguish them from nature itself

8.  There should be a sufficient number of heroic carries from the tee, but the course should be arranged so that the weaker player with the loss of a stroke or portion of a stroke shall always have an alternative route open to him

9.  There should be infinite variety in the strokes required to play the various holes — ^viz., interesting brassy shots, iron shots, pitch and run-up shots

10.  There should be a complete absence of the annoyance and irritation caused by the necessity of searching for lost balls

11.  The course should be so interesting that even the plus man is constantly stimulated to improve his game in attempting shots he has hitherto been unable to play

12.  The course should be so arranged that the long handicap player, or even the absolute beginner, should be able to enjoy his round in spite of the fact that he is piling up a big score

13.  The course should be equally good during winter and summer, the texture of the greens and fairways should be perfect, and the approaches should have the same consistency as the greens.

• Tee up in the middle left of tee
• Aim for the furthest RHS greenside bunker
• This should allow for slightly mishit shots to remain on fairway
• Second Shot: check lie (many times ball below feet – in which case aim slightly more left of green centre)
• If chipping uphill to green allow for extra loft required!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members for their support over the past year. Best Wishes to all members and their families for the festive season and the New Year.
