It was a little murky at The Addington yesterday but the City of London was particularly visible.

Recent vegetation management has restored many wonderful vistas both long and short.

Bill Longmuir and GM Dan Blesovsky dodged this morning's squalls and enjoyed a few holes at Berkhamsted GC.

Park's landforms are beautiful. It's very early days but, in time, we hope to uncover many of those that have been lost over the years due to the ingress of vegetation.

Our partner Frank Pont has been appointed to advise Sutton Coldfield GC in Birmingham, England.

Originally laid out in the late 19th century, Alister MacKenzie was retained after WW1 to revitalise the course, the revised version finally opening in 1934.

@mikeclaytongolf.bsky.social:

"There are 2 sorts of par3 - those where the pin position completely changes the shot you hit and those (usually with a small green) where no matter the pin position, you hit the same shot. Perdu at The Addington is an example of the former, the great 13th the latter."

Some interesting distractions en route to Spey Bay. The swanky Glenfiddich distillery and Speyside Cooperage's field of barrels (the camera doesn't do it justice).
