Glad for Poulter
Was pulling for Poults on Sunday. Looks like he will now easily keep his card for next year. It was a shame he couldn't put a bit more pressure on the winner, although finding that island green was pressure enough. The Open Champion Stenson messed it up two days in a row amongst others.
I currently live in the same town in Bedfordshire UK as Poulter grew up and know well 'that proshop where he used to sell balls'... I am only 7 miles from Woburn Golf Club where he has been the tour Pro since 2003, not that I've ever seen him there.
Woburn is a world class golfing venue with 3 full 18 hole courses. Its pricey if you don't know a member but beautiful to play especially in the Autumn.
I very recently played 'The Oxfordshire' where the European Tour played the old Benson and Hedges International Open 1996-1999 prior to the tobacco advertising ban won by the Ames, Langer, Clarke and Monty.
The greens were as good as I've played anywhere in the last 5 years and it wasn't too difficult off the yellows.
I was round in 10 over off my 6 handicap in a two club cold easterly wind. I played with a 2 and a 4 handicappers who were also round in 10 and 11 over. A good day
for me.
The Oxfordshire is half the price of Woburn and the greens are better.
