Greens had been hollow tined and sandy two days prior, were disappointing. 4.5 hours round for a two ball does not help you concentrate on this difficult course. It’s a real challenge for serious golfers
Bordering the Old, The New Course is regarded by many as the best on the links, with some of the most famous holes in world golf.
After a gentle start, the New has many difficult driving holes, bordered tightly by huge banks of yellow-flowering gorse. Played into the teeth of a strong wind, the par-4 sixth is one of the toughest in St Andrews, while the par-3 ninth which skirts the Eden Estuary is a beast, often requiring a solid 3-wood.
