Matchplay and Strokeplay rules differ
17th @Brokenhurst – what to do if you don’t know what to do (Strokeplay)
The 17th is possibly the best hole on the course. A dogleg right with a stream to cross to reach the fairway and a narrow entrance to a long and challenging green. 350 yards from the red tees and currently 415 from the whites, although a new tee has been pushed further back to maintain … Continue reading 17th @Brokenhurst – what to do if you don’t know what to do (Strokeplay)

Bunkers, a small copse, and heavy rough await if you are off line. The percentage play may be to leave yourself a … Continue reading 14th @Brokenhurst – Immovable Obstruction (Sprinkler Head)
