“For we stand perched in a landscape full of stories and meanings for those who have gone before us, and know that many of those who follow will also find the same enchantment here.” Just a brilliant sentence. Thanks for this Richard-it not only encourages this reader to visit here on some future trip overseas, but connects with some favorite courses at home.

Richard, will you please stop doing this, just when I thought I knew a course I wanted to play next...You go and write another enticing chapter. Please please, keep doing this, its so much fun. Where to next I wonder?

Mark, thanks again! It's the golf courses that shine; I'm just noting what I see but you HAVE to get to Painswick!

It has now moved up my “must play” list, alongside Cleave Hill. Let me know if you would like to visit Notts GC. We are a great example of modern golf fitting in with the landscape and ecology.

Dear Mick, very many thanks. I'll drop you a note; always wanted to get to Notts, and have heard so much! You won't be disappointed by Painswick or Cleeve, though - both marvellous!

Another really enjoyable piece Richard. Thank you. As a friend above mentioned - you keep adding courses on my ‘must play’ list.
