  • Off to the Belfry

    Hi All
    Im playing on the Brabazon this Saturday which was an xmas gift from the missus, and must admint am as nervous as hell! Im fairly new to the game, been playing for about 4 months and have had 5 lessons. I generally go round in 100 or just under but wouldnt call myself a 'hacker'!

    Ive heard that there is a marshal who announces you on the 1st Tee and asks you to play on the Derby course if you dont look good enough! So tempted to take a 4 iron off the 1st tee....

    Anyone played there whats it like, any advice on how to play?

    Don't worry about it, most importantly enjoy the day I was in the area a few years ago but the Brabazon was closed so I ended up playing the Derby. I have not fond memories of the day as it was raining heavily. I have heard great things about the Brabazon, good luck on 18. Let us know how you get on.

    Enjoy

      the marshall wont be there anouncing your name hell be inside keeping warm if its the lads i know,
      my advice to you is just play to stay on the fairways, and dont worry about your score i play of a good 8 handicap and the brab i very subtle in the way it takes shots of you ,remember just enjoy the day.

        Yeah I've played it, nice course. There certainly won't be a starter announcing your name on the first tee, and the first tee for the Derby is about half a mile away they ferry you there so theres no fear of being chucked off!!


        Enjoy it, especially 10 and 18 great course, might be a bit wet in places. look out for Cristy O'Connors plaque on 18
