US Masters Result!!

As you will see from my previous post, I fancied Zach Johnson for the Masters and had a small bet on the young American and found my self £200 better off!!! Thanks Mr Johnson, what a result. It was a terrific final day, with the world's best golfers rising to the topof the leaderboard. My only comment was that the course played too tough.

We have enough events (US Open and US PGA) where they make par the target finishing score. The Masters has nver been about that..... 13 seemed to be taken out of Eagle range which meant less gambling (although Tiger and Padraig obliged on the final day!!).

On my recent golfing travels I played 2 UK courses.

Wychwood Park, not a bad track but a couple of internal out of bounds which were peculiar. But an interesting course none the less, very good finishing Par 5 up the hill protected by a pond on the right. Well worth a knock. The Hotel is basic......enough said!!


I also played Merrist Wood in Surrey , a really good layout, but they were doing a lot of work on the course and to be frank the greens were a disgrace....... It has a good Amen Corner 9 - 13 with some lovely holes. Beware the Gyppo Camp along the 12th apparently they are known to hop on from time to time!!!
