Back to the parkland I had heard many good things over the years about Bearwood Lakes. I was, therefore, delighted to receive an invitation to come and play it on a Sunday afternoon in June.

Sheringham So, having finished at Comer we jumped straight in our cars and headed along the coast to Sheringham. It is an easy 15 minute drive between the two courses, but the first round had taken little longer than anticipated. We had a bit of time to spare, but it was a good thing that

Best laid plans I spent a *long* time over last Christmas planning my golf for the first half of 2020. As I have mentioned other posts, I want to play as many of the Top 100 courses with friends and as most of us are based in or around London that takes some organising. The

The Quest In November 2019, Golf.com published an updated list of their Top 100 Courses in the World.
