Great piece for a great piece of golfing history. My father started his working life at Minch Old. When I visited a few years ago and mentioned my father worked at Minchinhampton, the gentleman in the shop asked his name and promptly disappeared into the back of the shop. He re-emerged with their centenary book and open it on a page where there was a photograph of my father at work. A special moment.
John, thanks, lovely to hear from you and thanks for the kind words. I didn't know that about your father, but what a lovely touch at the club to have taken the opportunity to do that. A touch of class! And before you ask...I was round in well under three hours!
Richard, I really like your article's. They are well written and informative. I am a member at Westward Ho/RND so was particularly pleased to read of your visit.
It’s a “marmite” course that one either loves or loathes.
Having spent most of my working life in the South West I am very familiar with the likes of Cleeve Hill and Minchinhampton.
Please let me carry you bag on one of your next golfing odysseys! I promise to keep things simple!
Mike, you can only come if you carry your own and play! Can’t wait!
Deal!
A great read about another gem from within the vast heritage of golf.
In my humble (but totally unprofessional ) opinion, this ought to stand as among your best thus far.
Next time I have time to spare whilst on M5, M4 or A419, I now know where to spend it.
Many thanks and well done.
Many thanks John. Every inch of whatever journey you make to Minch Old will be worth it. It's an incredible place!
