Walton Heath

Today we played at our only international reciprocal club, Walton Heath.

On the 3rd tee of the Old course, overlooking a green on the new course
Walton Heath was in great condition, having just hosted the Southern British amatuer.  This however meant that the rough was long and thick, and the pins were in difficult positions.

Thick, thick, rough
The staff were very welcoming to our group, and Stuart Christie, the General Manager was very friendly.


Walton Heath is a bit of a mixture of what we have played on this trip.  A bit of an inland links type feel, with a vast heathland setting.

One of the features of the bunkering is the heather growing up the faces, and the surrounds.

Looking up the 18th hole on the Old course
This was the final round of proceedings today.  Lee Kidman (46 points) narrowly edged out Pam MacKenzie (45 points) for the win.
