I love this story. Pablo Escobar - the infamous Colombian drug lord - wanted to join his local golf club in Medellin - Club Campestre. When his application was refused, he didn’t answer with an appeal, but sent them three grenades instead. This was in 1989

Found it; thankfully the tide was out @KingsbarnsGL. And with weather like this … and supreme coastal views … what’s not to like

What a week in London at @LISWOfficial. Over 1000 pictures taken at some of London’s most iconic venues. Exhausting but great fun. Can’t wait for LISW27

A great opening event for @LISWOfficial at the equally impressive @golfatthegrove. tradewindsnews.com/people/lo… The course conditioning was really impressive given what we all know has been a rough year. Hospitality always gets 10/10

I think the fairways are still to come😂, but the expansive views @HankleyC look spectacular in all weathers. Didn’t faze @darrencharlton1 from @DunstableGolf - 31 on the back nine 👏 without any chip ins or long putts. #31 @GolfMonthly this course just gets better and better.

“A huge thank you to @FrannyBenali for the really heartfelt message to my niece’s dad. At a difficult time, it lifted his spirits more than you can imagine and means so much to the whole family. Pure class.”

'Over time there were a lot of trees close to greens, you had a lot of shade issues, you didn’t get the air flow and would get water drop-off, which can generally knock things back. Now the greens and the areas around the greens have significantly improved'

Hole 2 | Par 4 | 251 Yards
The definition of a risk reward hole.
Longer hitters may decide to take on the green. Alternatively, an accurate tee shot to the right of the fairway bunker will leave a pitch or chip to a small two-tier green, sitting close to the boundary fence

Things were so different in 1933. Just look how the Club managed to squeeze in The 1933 Ryder Cup @SandAGolfClub in between a club match v @HuytonPrescotGC and the monthly medal. How times have changed 😂

Happy 68th birthday to three-time Open champion and Honorary Member Sir Nick Faldo.
@Sir_NickFaldo won the Car Care Plan International in 1984, in front of over 20,000 fans, to defend the title that he had won at Sand Moor. Both times Howard Clark would take second spot.

Final day and a climatic ending. Unbeknown to the Northcliffe team they ‘only’ had to score 5 stableford points on the imposing 447 yard final hole to win. They came up one short so the Baildon team waiting in the clubhouse prevailed. So glad we paid the good weather supplement☀️

Extensive tree clearance and bunker work over recent years has transformed the Alister Mackenzie design from good to great, and it’s the kind of design that will ask all the right questions - Golf Monthly

The North Leeds Classic enters its second day @SandMoorGC and we are not last👍 This was the last time I saw my ProV1 having ‘swiped left’ into the trees from back of the 11th. Great event and warm camaraderie. Shout out to Patrick … who just makes the event run so seamlessly.

A soil importation success story complete with a new short game area, driving range and full course irrigation. Implementation was no doubt challenging but what an amazing legacy for the next generation of @headingleygolf member. And it shows. Course conditioning was 🔥
