I enclose photographs of Dunaverty Golf Course including the burn and green at the 17th hole. http://www.dunavertygolfclub.com/gallery/index.htm
The well known Scottish lady amateur golfer Mrs Belle Robertson (nee McCorkindale) learnt to play her golf as a youngster on Dunaverty Golf Course and from memory she is an honorary member of Dunaverty Golf Club.

You must be some hitter of a golf ball unless you shut the face on the 7 iron and hit the golf ball about 3 feet off the ground.
A normal 7 iron shot is high and often the wind takes a hold of it and it comes up,short unless you are playing downwind.

Its called a stinger.

Its called a stinger.

I have never heard it called a stinger. That must be an American term.
Golfers used to shut the face on a golf club to hit the ball low into the wind.
Now with the popularity of rescue golf clubs made famous by Todd Hamilton who won the Open Championship from memory in 2004 at Royal St George’s at Sandwich Kent golfers use them to hit the ball low into the wind.

Big drive, 170 left into the wind, couldn't get there with 5 iron (biggest I carry) but played a rescue 4 ( we were 1 down at the time) and got over and just off green high left, putted on and down the brae and holed 5 footer back up.

Only 1 birdie today at the 2nd.

No I didnae.

The club didnae have a bar so it was back to a place that did.

Played Panmure for 1st time today Islay and v v close to hole in one at 5th....3 inches or so.

Have you played?

Must be one of the few places that still have a ladies entrance....didnae notice the butler and servants entrance.

Trying to persuade some of my golfing acquaintances to head back to macrihanish next year instead of Spain. 50/50 split at the minute so might end up Spain.

Hate airports with a passion though.

P.s meant to ask.

Just further south of golf club is a tallish building light grey stone just off the beach a bit.....is it a mill or a castle?
